So this women told her two sons that dark skin is ugly and light skin is pretty and beautiful. She basically told them light skin people are better then dark skinned people. And she bleaches her sons skin every morning, she won't let them go to school without bleaching first so they're skin can be lighter. And even today Parents are still doing it to their kids and I've heard a few stories about mothers telling their kids they need to be light skinned to be pretty. Parents like these are awful all they do is teach their kids to hate themselves.

Personally I think it's a horrible thinkg to do to your skin, and that people look better before the skin bleaching.

For those who don't know, skin bleaching is when you use certain lotions or soaps that lighten your skin color. My mother is African and we had took a trip to Africa about a year ago and almost all the women there use lightening lotions. My mother uses lightening cream and she is very light and my dad is actually black but he is lighter than me too and I used to wonder how and why I have dark skin if both my parents are light. Turns out, my mom was originally my color. Also, I have an Asian friend whose mom using lightening cream and her mother is very pale and I'm just like your mother is already very pale, why is she using it and she says its the "style".
