This makes me think of a friend of mine.
She is very attractive, and always won beauty pageants.
She had many trophies to prove this, and many talents as well as beauty.
But the other girls of course were mean, and talked bad about her, though she was a very nice, church-going girl.
She did not deserve the taunts she received.
So, her last beauty pageant was for Miss North Carolina...who would eventually go on to try out for the Nation-wide title.
She was told by advisors that they expected her to win.
Yet, she backed out, and gave up pageants all together, just because so many people would use that against her in some way. She never went to the try-outs, and got rid of all her trophies. Nobody cared, and many people were shocked, but in her heart, she felt great! I hope your friend can find the inner strength that she needs to overcome these challenges in her life, and realize that she is in control of who she is, and nobody outside of who she allows can manipulate her future...
