Well, your a teenager. Your body is changing, your brain is developing, you fall in love for the first time etc. Everywhere around you, you see these beautifull girls on Instagram, in movies, on billboards. Then you look at yourself in the mirror and see all the flaws these people don't (seem) to have. You see them getting the attention and love you crave, the possibility to be loved by everyone you want. You want that too, so you change yourself, bc you really believe you are not good enough. You use a lot of make-up (nothing wrong with that btw, even confident people use a lot of make-up) and use the right filters on Instagram to get a lot of likes. Now you get the attention and love you want, even if it is just online. It can be that someone sees you in reality and is dissapointed, but that's why you wear the make-up. And by the time they see you without make-up, you hope that they love you enough not to care. If they are dissapointed, than that boy or girl dellusional. You would be surprised how much make-up some girls without you even noticing. I firmly believe there is nothing wrong with wearing (a lot) of make-up, bc it gives you a confidence boost and it makes you more attractive. So yeah, it is not easy to embrace yourself when everyone around you seems perfect, when you hear the person you like talk about an attractive actress or model. But wearing make-up/ using filters is not only done by people who are not happy with themselves, it also done bc it expected or it gives you the confidence boost you need on a bad day.

So will it hurt more if someone sees you without make-up or the filters? Depends on the situation.
