SexIs Subjective: Your Body Is Beautiful So You Need to Love Yourself

Ever since I was little, I was picked on because of my body. I was a skinny little girl with no breasts and a little butt. As I grew older I went thru things a 14 year old shouldn't and I was stressed out and having sex. I was put on birth control and ever since then I have been gaining weight, and I'm still getting picked on for my body. I'm 21 now, going on 22, and I'm having problems getting comfortable with my own body. I honestly hate it but I'm learning to deal with it. It's a beautiful thing, but sometimes you just have to be careful with your body. Being over weight or even under weight isn't good. It leads to complications and that leads to death.

I feel as if these new sayings, "Fit is the new skinny," are just to make everyone feel better, but sometimes it doesn't work. Being a big girl isn't always easy. You can't buy certain things because it doesn't come in your size or just doesn't look right on your body. And for a skinny girl, people complain about how you look like you're dying, and when you buy things they aren't small enough for you. To be happy in the body you're in, you either have to try and lose or gain weight. Make sure you wear the right size clothing because the shirt can either be too big or not small enough.

Everyone is beautiful and special. No one should tell you different. Keep your head and your hopes high. You will make it like myself. You shouldn't care about what others think, unless it's someone that cares about you and is giving you advice. If not, tell them to kick rocks. You don't need to listen to them talk shit about you. Just live your life how you feel.
