What's Wrong With My Body?

LIVING IN MID-BLOOM

Discussing my personal journey with body image and self-acceptance. I talk about the teasing by school bullies, the pressure I felt from society, and my own family to conform to certain beauty standards. I share my experiences of being offered surgery to change my body and the impact it had on my self-esteem. We must emphasize the importance of loving and accepting ourselves regardless of societal expectations. And I encourage you to prioritize self-love and embrace your bodies as they are.
