I have always wondered why people are never comfortable with their skin. I am from Facebook and i have seen a picture of my friend back at high school and i had to look closely to really make sure it was her. She is so brown but when i knew her i knew a black chocolate skin girl lol. This bleaching will make me pass someone and them they will say i ignored them ha haa.

There are lots of ways to hide who you were, even just changing you hair color can do that. I have walked by old friends too not recognizing them.....

@Missmwngi what's funny was our other short male classmates were asking him what his secret was because some of them grew just a few inches after graduation but he became much taller than them.

Even in our country it is the same thing. The brown Filipinas are not comfortable with their natural skin tone and would go through bleaching or take bleaching pills just to make their skin fairer.

It just amuses me. Some end up not being as beautiful as they think

In our country, people always see fairer complexion is what's beautiful. They are still I'm that era where darker complexion is not pretty.

There are a lot of people who are not happy with the way they look. Personally I don't understand it. I am not perfect and have a lot of flaws but at 59, I am happy with who I am.

What do you mean by "bleaching" in this context?

This happens when one is not satisfied with the skin tone.

This is a normal phenomenon that a person is never happy with anything they have. They are always being attracted by the things other people have..!!!
