Truth: whatever your skin tone your going to get smoke your way for it, but at the same time if your happy with the way your skin looks why shold you mind? and on top of that there's also bound to be people that like your color if you must have the approval of others.

Sincerely the only pale lady in an ethnic family.

Even the word "pale" to describe white skin is a recent ploy from the tanning industry to make young, impressionable people feel bad about being white. The correct word is "FAIR". You're simply immersed in a culture that is currently obsessed with tanning, tattoos, and body piercing. Don't follow the crowd, and learn about history. You'll gradually learn the truth, and see "whiteness" in a whole new perspective. Then, you'll actually want what you already have!

Not only do I spend far too much time and $ making my self…orange, but while I'm at it, I could potentially be risking my health or my life. I will not risk my health for the sake of vanity. I decided I am going to learn to be comfortable with my given skin color, and I absolutely will not hide under jeans and whatnot while everyone else is wearing shorts. I've got nothing to be ashamed of. Hopefully, I can be somewhat of an example to others that its OK not to look like you're part of the Jersey Shore cast. ;)

Next summer I’m going to wear shorts, world, so deal with my snow white legs the way I have to deal with your rusty orange ones!!!
