As only newcomers into life we don't understand the chaos and unfairness that sometimes comes along while living it. This is why I find youth to be a beautiful thing and why so many others say that youth is the time in your life that you should cherish most. It is the point in time where you live your life much more carelessly than it will soon become. However, as time progresses we are more aware of our surroundings and we live life with our eyes wide open. We begin to feel much more a part of the world and prepare to move on and become the leaders of tomorrow and the generations to come. Unfortunately, still being young, we can sometimes be susceptible to the pressuring image of beauty and harsh criticism that comes along with growing older. Beauty in the eyes of our modern world is men and women with the top clothing and body products to make us look as desirable to the public as possible.However, I believe that beauty is not a fact that a single person can decide. It is an opinion that each and everyone of us has. This is a characteristic that makes us all unique.

Jake-
I agree and think you have a very optimistic point of view. You do see that youth are careless people and that can be a good or bad thing, which you explain well.

I completely agree with what you say about careless youth. Last year my life was all bout having fun. I have turned into a person who constantly realizes the many horrors of life. I think that while were still young it is our job to use our energy for the benefit of others.

I agree with you, but you did nt say what you thought beauty for men and women was.

When you write it really makes the reader think about what their thoughts are on the subject. That is an amazing piece of writing considering you did it at 1 o'clock in the morning.
