impossible??

I got this quote from Kristine Chin's response to change for who?:
We have to realize that we are all beautiful no matter what society labels as it's definition of beautiful. There shouldn't be a time in which you don't feel like your're not enough simply because you are not society's model of "perfect". Do not let the voice of society keep you from being you and believing that you are awesome the way you are.

I agree 100% with this quote but I believe it is impossible to accomplish.How can people possibly feel this way when there's a whole bunch of pressure,teasing,and taunting around them that hurts and lowers their self esteem?There aren't many open-minded people in this world who accept you for how you look and for who you are.Im not saying that people should keep falling into societies pressure,I'm just asking for good ways for people to feel confident and not let the taunting get to them? I mean nobody is forcing someone to change their looks.If you get taunted or bullied for how you look and you feel as if you have to change or do something about it,it's nobody else is decision but yours.What are you supposed to do when you don't fit in with the rest of the other people not mentally or emotionally but physically. For example,at your school there might be mostly slender girls but there's one chunky girl,as you can see that can bring many insecurities and anger towards yourself. You might feel that there is something wrong with you,when really there isn't, but no one can change the way you feel no matter the amount of compliments you get.In most cases taunting is more powerful than compliments. It's especially hard for women to think like that because the media mostly targets women.Women change or modify themselves to be thought of as beautiful for either themselves or men.How are you to love yourself when there is a bunch of beautiful girls in magazines thought of as perfect? Also,when people agree that you would be better off looking like them?
