I was very sad to read the media reports this week about a beautiful 11-year-old girl taking her own life because she thought she wasn’t beautiful.

The airbrushed stick thin look promoted by magazines and the beauty industry is cruel and unrealisti­c. It is important to teach children that beauty on the inside is what matters and beauty on the outside is fleeting and superficia­l. Maureen Lowndes, Geashill, Co. Offaly.
