- Description
- American movies and TV want us to believe that there is only one kind of beauty. Girls must be tall and slim and boys should be muscular and manly. Often young people feel bad about their bodies, because they don't look like movie stars or models. But what is beautiful depends on the society in which you live. Among the Masai in Kenya, thin boys are regarded as very handsome. Among the Kuna Indians the shape of your nose is what counts! Read all about them on page 20. 'Upbeat is better than hot chocolate on a cold winter's night.' That's what one reader told us. And she's right. Winter is here and that's the time to be indoors with a good read - Upbeat magazine. There's lots to read about that will warm your heart. Read about Mpho Serobe who's in the movie business. He admires people who's businesses have crashed. Find out why on page 34. It's a tough life for young prostitutes. But there are people who care. Meet them on page 4. The more you read the more you learn about yourself and the world around you. So keep warm and enjoy learning and reading from this month's Upbeat.
