Mary wrote, “I am a 14 year old girl and have always never thought of myself as good enough. I am not as skinny as all the other girls in my school and I am very self conscious. BUT this movement has really changed the way I think about myself and all the women I see around me. I posted my first note in a bathroom as Longhorn and I felt so good! I cannot wait to post more! We are all made in God’s beautiful image and nothing can ever change that.”
Martina wrote, “I actually found about Operation Beautiful TODAY, and I was so surprised that someone noticed this and actually DID something about it. For ME, this is, not as refreshing compared to other people, but I am glad it was started. I’m in middle school and as they say, "it is the hardest part in your life socially…." followed by high school. And, it is. People CONSTANTLY bullying you about your body image, whether to get a laugh out of their friends, or to REALLY speak out the negativity in their own opinion. I have went through some bullying, partly from myself as well, about my image. Whether it was I was to fat or I was to ugly or If I looked like a guy, it was always SOMETHING, it wasn’t as harsh as what I’ve heard from others in Operation Beautiful, but I always DID feel like ‘I wasn’t good enough’ physically and emotionally. As I said before, Operation Beautiful is changing my life so far, and I hope it reaches out to more people each day.”
(The note says, “I am beautiful and nobody can change my mind!”)

I haven’t been on the site much but i know what it’s about. I’m fourteen years old and my bestfriend Annie told me and a few other people she wanted to meet after school to do something special. So the last week of school we met up and she told us the idea of this whole website. We wrote TONS of sticky notes and we posted them EVERYWHERE around the school. The moment kids started walking in they saw sticky notes. People were pulling them down and keeping them. It makes you feel special when you see tons of people smiling because of something you did. It made the last week, the best week in the whole year.<3
This site really makes me want to change someone’s view of themselves for the better. I will now start to leave “You are beautiful” post-it notes in bathroom stalls. You guys are an inspiration!
i realy have gotten something very important here.alot of people dont know how beautiful they are til you tell them.
