As a child I have
always been bullied about my weight and how I'm not pretty like the
other girls.
I hated my body so much I wish I didn't EVEN EXIST.
I thought secondary school would be different, no one will care about how you look or who you are. Guess what I was proved wrong! There was one boy that made my life living hell.

Everyday he will say
how I'm to fat, I need to lose weight.
I just froze.
I wanted to be
strong and show him no satisfactory but..... I couldn't!
Now!
I have gain so much confidence in myself thanks to my dear family.
However the most important person that can get you out of your
problems is you!,
No one knows you better than yourself.

There was a time when I didn’t understand.
Why? Do we have religion?
How? Much suffering can one overcome?
When? Will it be over?
Why? Is it so hard?
But now I know that these questions were just a way for me to say, “I don’t believe.” But now I know! I know why. I know how. And I know when.
I used to look in the mirror each day and think, why am I not as pretty as the rest? Why am I not as skinny as the rest?
NOW I KNOW! I am me and you are you. I am unique and different from everyone around me. I am me! I am my own person. No one in the world can ever say that they are the same as me. I am unique, an individual.
As I say this over and over I believe it. As I know that I have been made different so that I stand out, not only on the outside but also by what I stand for.
Ways that I have come to appreciate myself is, by taking a mental note of my good characteristics and complement myself on them.
To me our bodies are a replica of who we are, what we think of ourselves and what we stand for.
For someone to instil a hurtful thought in a child's mind that they are not as God wanted them to be. To even utter the word that child is not special just because they are different is to me, the worst thing anyone can say.

Everyone on this earth is a creation of God.
There is no reason why another human being should feel like they can tell someone else that they are worthless or that they do not matter.
It is unacceptable.
It is so wrong that just because someone is a different size that they are made to feel like they want an end.
That is just not right.
I personally have felt this way and i would hate for anyone to feel like that.
Mostly because of this i have always had such low self esteem.
But not any more.
I refuse to let what ignorant people say to get the best of me.
I will stand up for the minority.
And i will say enough is enough!!
No one deserves to be made a mockery of because of how they look like.
I will take that stand.
Whether alone or otherwise,
I will share the gift of this creation.
