Music Video

You are PERFECT

I am analyzing the music video for the song "Perfect" by P!nk. In my opinion is a really good and powerful song. It talks about a girl that has low self-steem, consumes drugs and tries to suicide. The video is about the life of a girl who was excluded since she was little and constantly disturbed, got bad grades in school, was not understood by her parents and was forced to do things she did not want to do. This girl felt inferior to the rest of the other girls that were thinner and prettier than her. There is a part of the video which is very emotional, when the girl is in the bathroom, cutting herself and wants to commit suicide, that part of the video matches the  the lyrics that says: Why do we do that? Why do I do that? Why do I do that?. And then she gets up and realizes that she must move on. Then she grows up and show all her feelings through art. She met her husband, and later they have a beautifull daughter, who is always reminded how beautiful and perfect she is.

The video transmits many feelings and emotions. I think there are many girls or guys who feel that way right now, being victims of bullying, for their physical appearance, their wealth or poverty and much more. It is sad to know that there are people who feel inferior about their physical appearance, but the thing they really don't know is that real beauty is found in the soul and not in the face or body. Many times these people need to be told how important they are, but instead of getting this kind of feedback, there are people ho make them feel worst.

I feel very identified with this video and this song, especially because of the meaning it has on me. I discovered this song when I was going through probably one of the worst moments I've ever lived. I've never come to the idea of wanting to kill myself or something, but many people do and we need to help them.
