[quote=Anonymous]Maybe, next time she brings that up, try listening and asking questions. “Why do you feel like that honey?“ She is opening up to you so maybe she will give more info. I will say that many women no matter what the age wish they were prettier and thinner so this is not uncommon. Maybe you could reflect back, “yeah there is so much Ridiculous pressure to look a certain way in our society...” Also, maybe “women are held to such ridiculous standard of beauty.” Or, “I can only imagine how rough it can be to be a teen girl these days, with all of those pressures of looking a certain way in school or in the media- most people don’t meet that ideal- there are all types of wonderful people out there beautiful in there own way on the inside and outside.” Also make sure you are not making judgmental remarks about other people based on their appearance eg “geez that woman has a big nose..” and that you are complimenting her on non-appearance aspects of her self and that you frequently talk about non-appearance aspects of other women that you admire.
