Hello Missy
Thats what I call my 15 year old baby sister :)
Well, I saw your picture, and you are a cute girl! You and your sister have such cute smiles. If you flash that smile, you'll get any job you apply for--trust me on that!
You know what--I wanted to say this: right now, we live in a society where young women are so pressured to "look sexy". Everything from music videos, to pop singers, to MTV pressures young black women to be "sexy, sexy, sexy"..Society thinks that women are sexy if they wear tight clothes, show their boobs, and walk around naked practically...But now that I'm an adult--I see that being "sexy" is not always good. A lot of women have STD's, HIV, and are in abusive relationships--just because they wanted to be "sexy". All of that pressure to be sexy foces women, especially us black women--to get all our self-esteem from the attention we get from men. That is not good...Its ok to feel sexy on the inside, because that is a part of being a woman; but please remain the way you are. Dont start dressing half-naked, trying to compete with all these sexy women out here. Whats important is discovering who you are as a woman, going to college, learning about new things, and discovering your life's passion and following your Dreams. And, in the end, Men will respect you 100 times better if your sexiness and Beauty comes from within, and if you have goals and dreams that you follow. Its better to be smart, to remain "pure" by not sleeping around and catching all these STD's (and really its better to wait until you get married), and its beautiful to pray and love God--and let God love you, and Guide you.
I'll tell you this--ever since I was 10, I was considered to be "pretty". But, that hurt me in a way when I got older, because I got low self esteem when I depended on attention from men to make me feel whole. Luckily I am thankful that is no longer the case...But, now that I'm older, I truly believe that what makes a woman "pretty" or Beautiful is something that comes from the inside. I got high self esteem when I realized that my spirit and my personality makes me truly beautiful, and that God is my Best Friend. Sure, I take care of my body & watch what I eat so I can keep a nice figure, take care of my skin so it will glow, and try to dress nice and have cute hair---but now I feel Beautiful, because I'm trying my best to follow God and loving me on the inside..

Why do you ask this? Are you not confident enough in your looks? I shouldn't have to answer that.
