She then proceeds to try, only making herself sick and unhappy. The episode ends with her giving a speech to the entire school about how everyone is perfect how they are, and singing Christina Agulera's "I am Beautiful." Really touching.

Why don't more shows give a little more light to the idea of acceptance? It's easy to watch one show about acceptance and say "yes" they did it right, that makes me feel good! Versus the reality that many shows don't do that, but instead give ideals about how life should be, for example The Hills and Hollys World and the Kardasians. Giving a glorified view on how it is to be rich and famous gives nothing for a young girls positive self esteem. I have never watched Glee, but hearing about this made me want to give it a try.

I usually just catch the episodes online after they air, but I knew this would be something worth watching that night. It left me thinking of what I would put on my shirt.
