Confidence in appearance | YiWen Fan | TEDxYouth@NewtonCollege

Показать описание

I was told from a young age that being a good looking person requires large eyes, a well
rounded nose, and an elegant face. I was not confident about my appearance because it didn't fit into what is called beauty at all.

I'm going to be really honest here.

I also felt very self conscious about my appearance, specifically my nose. Someone pointed out its shape in my 4th grade class, and I didn't think about it much at the time. I was the only Asian in my grade, but tbh, I didn't know much about bullying or racism for that matter. When the pandemic hit, I was okay with zoom and showing my face and all. But once schools started going back to in person, I would specifically wear a mask for the reason of hiding my face. 5 years after my incident from 4th grade, I still felt self conscious.

I don't know how to describe how I feel now that I know someone else shares a similar story as me. Excited? No. But I feel like someone actually understands what I'm going through. Thank you so, so much for sharing this story.
