[quote=Anonymous]I would start a conversation by asking her what she thinks is beautiful. If it turns out that she thinks that you need to be a certain race, height, weight, etc--which she probably will--you can use that as the basis for a conversation about why she thinks that, given how very, very few people in the world actually look that way. You can also point out how our history and media have influenced what we think of as beauty; and that beauty at different times and in different cultures meant totally different things. Beauty is totally subjective; your daughter is gorgeous to some, whereas her BFF is gorgeous to someone else. Also, beauty fades, dumb is forever -- for laughs, but true!!! [/quote]
