Read Dr. Hart’s comments and summarize what you have learnt about BEAUTY.
Obsessive online photo editing indicates a lack of self-confidence and a desire for attention.
We’d better avoid presenting a false image because we might misjudge ourselves.

Being healthy is beautiful, and we should wear that beauty with confidence.
