Many teenage girls deal with issues such as low confidence and self esteem; and for girls dealing with burn and trauma injuries these esteem issues are almost unbearable. But one organization by the name of Angel Faces is working to help these girls regain there confidence. Adolescent girls are able to attend a retreat where they learn to embrace their injuries and their true beauty, they also learn how to deal with unfortunate situations such as stares, teasing, and rejection due to their injuries. After always hearing about the negative things going on in our country and world, it's nice to hear about something positive for once. What the people at Angel Faces are doing is a great thing and they deserve all the credit they are receiving. What are your thoughts on this organization? Do you have any ideas of other programs that could be created to help other people? What type of people would they help?

Great choice of topics Lauren and excellent job of replying to other people's comments!
I think this could be really helpful for females. Not only do a lot of people bring down their self esteem but, they have to deal with it everyday of their life each time someone says something rude or mean. This program could be terrific! I love the idea! This could really help women boost their confidence.
I think it's a really good idea too! I think it will definitely help a lot of people.
This is absolutely beautiful and amazing and I love it!! I think everyone should be happy in their own skin no matter what. I'm really happy that people care so much about others it just makes the world seem like it's a better place. Everyone is beautiful, and amazing, wonderful, and I could go on forever, but to see people to something about it is just great!!
I couldn't agree more!
I think that this is an awesome organization! It is just amazing that some one would think of this! Bullying is a big thing in our world today and this is a way that people can learn how to handle it and its just amazing. I think a group that could be started is just kind of a support group for anyone. Someone that they can talk to about their feelings and someone they can trust.
I agree! That's a really good idea and I definitely think programs like this are a step in the right direction to end bullying.
I think this is a wonderful idea! To help young girls have confidence in themselves is awesome! This organization is doing a good thing, for the community and those girls. This retreat is good, and I think there should be more. Not just for burn victims or young girls, either. Older kids, and we can't forget the guys. Low self esteem is not just a girl thing. With all the magazines covered with skinny models, and pretty women it can make you feel bad about how you weigh and look. Overall, I think this organization will grow and become successful. At least I hope it will. It is a good thing in this bad world. You don't hear too many good things in the news.
Definitely, I agree and hope that more organizations are created to help out different kinds of people also!
I think this is a great organization! Especially the way the world is today with not only face-to-face bullying, but cyber bullying as well. Maybe if kids are taught how to handle bullying not as many teens would be as depressed, and can tell off the bully to prevent anymore negative comments. I definitely think other organizations should be created for dealing with bullying, because when teens are in a life or death situation they could call/go to the facility instead of taking away their life or hurting others.
