I am beautiful

Look on the inside

im buetiful no matter what anybody thinks

My friend Lesa

Got inner beauty?

If you or someone you know has inner beauty, you can have the chance to be featured in New Moon Girls magazine's 10th annual "25 Beautiful Girls" issue!

Aftin Long

A beautiful girl doesn’t pick favorites. A beautiful girl listens when you want to talk. A beautiful girl is there when you need her.

Clare Fortune-Agan

My sister, Clare, is incredible. She finds inspiration in many different places and wins admiration from people around her.

Megan Irene Behnke

Megan has always loved interesting, strong, and eccentric women. This is not surprising. She, herself, is interesting, strong, and eccentric, like her favorite characters—Anne of Green Gables, Lucy of Narnia, Captain Nancy (of the Swallows and Amazons), and Orianna (of Dinotopia).

Zella Redus

You want to know why my friend Zella is beautiful? She is one of those extraordinary people whom you can never get mad at. I mean, you can want to be mad at them, or pretend to be mad at them, but it never really works.

Jordan Blumberg-Enge

I met Jordan at an outdoor summer camp. Jordan is beautiful in more ways than one. She plays the guitar and writes her own songs. Jordan speaks for what she thinks is right and doesn’t hurt anyone’s feelings by doing so.

Jessica Leving

How many kids spend their entire allowance sponsoring a needy child in Colombia? Or sacrifice their whole summer to volunteer at a neighborhood nursery school, their local library, and a daycare center for underprivileged kids? Or help create an award-winning website about disabilities?

Hannah Foden

Hannah, 13, has a non-verbal learning disability, meaning that she can’t write or run as fast as most kids her age. But she has never let that stop her. Check out all the things that make her beautiful.

Amy Guan

Amy loves purple and volunteering at the library, and she stays calm when speaking with police officers, too! These are a few of the things that make her beautiful.

Havi Mirell

Whether she’s decorating for the holidays or playing concerts with her friends, Havi does everything she can to brighten lives.

Jordan Jin

Jordan Jin loves drawing Japanese manga, designing fashions, and astronomy. She appreciates it when people get to know her as a person, instead of as a Chinese stereotype and assume she’s passive (she isn’t!) and knows Kung Fu (she doesn’t).

Hallie Siegel

Hallie makes people shine! If she could, Hallie would belong to every club and participate in every activity in her school and neighborhood. These are a few of the things that make her beautiful!

Ashley Bartoletti

Ashley is definitely a “modern” young woman. She plays softball in the summers and volleyball during the school year. She bikes, swims, and rollerblades much of the year. She also loves to be in the kitchen, takes a sewing class each year, and plays the piano and trumpet.

Ann Jennings

Ann's friend writes why Ann is beautiful -- in poetry!

Stephanie Dye

Stephanie's ever-present smile, endless curiosity, and intense passion for music are a few of the things that make her beautiful.

Claire Everett

What makes Claire beautiful? She helps her neighbors after a storm and doesn't like stereotypes, but that's just the beginning.

Marjorie Gomez

Marjorie is a spokesperson for human rights and a warrior against unfairness, and she speaks up even if her view is not the popular one.

Caitlyn Hunter

Caitlyn has given to her community since she was 5 years old. At age 12, she's still a beautiful girl!

Allyson Parson

Most people wouldn't call Ally a hero, but to her friend Rachel, she is. That's just one of the things that makes her beautiful.

Zoe Foster

Zoe Foster walks on her own, rides a bike, and attends camp every year. Not surprised? Well, Zoe lives with cerebral palsy, so her body works differently than most girls.

Jessica Lukefahr

Have you ever seen a wheelchair dance? Believe me, it’s a beautiful sight to see. And on a Thursday evening during football season, you might just be lucky enough to see Jessica Lukefahr, an eighth-grade cheerleader and honor student, make it happen.

Alyce Beryl Crescent Regan

Alyce is beautiful because she can make the ocean between her and her sister feel like a puddle.

Aparupa Biswas

My best friend, Aparupa, is a beautiful girl. She is an intelligent, kind, hardworking, and wonderful friend. I met her four years ago when my family moved to India.

Olivia Lemley

Have I got a beautiful girl for you! Olivia is beautiful both inside and out. She enjoys making others feel good about themselves.

Kori Higgins

Everyone knows who Kori is; she never hides herself. If she feels like acting weird, who can stop her? Last year, her family moved to Japan for six months.

Karen Wilfrid

Karen is a wonderful and amazing friend, who has been labeled a “nerd” because she is really smart and loves to read and write and do art. She’s a very fun and creative person.

Lillian Mae Hatleberg

My very good friend Lillian is beautiful for lots of reasons. Lilly is understanding and listens to my problems, fears, nervousness, broken friendships, crushes, happy thoughts, and memories. She’s always there for me.
