Motivation behind the project

Aware of the mass media’s idea of beauty and knowing the pressures and issues surrounding the area of self-esteem and body image, we understand how often young girls are feeling left alone.

The Pure Beauty 101 Social Network is all about bringing together girls young and old from around the world to express and discuss the many difficult issues they face in the world today. This network also helps to equip teachers in discussing issues surrounding body image and self-esteem. The site is open to nurses, teachers, mothers, social workers, young teenage girls, and any other women who are passionate about this topic. Our vision for this network is that it will spark new ideas in other educators or perhaps even open the door to other young women who are thinking of starting or beginning self-esteem projects in their communities. What is our Social Network all about?
