  1. my old "friend" said i was fat when i was around 8 or 9.
    And that made me ask myself… "am i really fat? should i change?"
    I'm just insecure and scared of people saying "you are fat" or "You are ugly"

  2. It's so sad that we start struggling with our body image so young. I think I started feeling somehow insecure back when I was 11 years old.. And it never stopped, it just got better or worse depending how I would feel about myself in those years

  3. There's certain things about my body I'm insecure about, but the one girl Mia, she is so freaking GORGEOUS and she's saying she can't even look in the mirror at herself?! What is wrong with her she is beautiful !❤

  4. I’m gonna be different and say that NONE of us are perfect. We all have our goods and bads. Don’t say anyone is perfect, say that they are just fine the way they are. If we were all “perfect” we’d look like Barbies, and there’s no fun in that, right?

  5. if I was in this video my biggest insecurity is probably my body hair because I hate that I hate my hair and it should be fine and you shouldn't get bully for having it

  6. I’m an 12 year old girl.

    One day, my friends thought it would be funny to make a joke about my forehead, they meant no harm but it easily ruined my self-esteem. I laughed along with them and now it’s a stupid inside joke of their’s. They share it with all my friends and constantly make fun of it. Almost every day it’s shoved right back into my face. Now I feel like my whole head looks horrible, and I don’t feel very confident with myself anymore.

  7. It's soo bad that women have high like HIGH beauty standards unlike men who don't have much beauty standards…maybe men will be targeted with many beauty standards in future who knows!

  8. im 11 and im really insecure on how i look 🙁 (i mean my face)
    i wish i had longer eyelashes
    i wish my eyes were a different color than brown 🙁
    i just wish i looked different :/

  9. All of these women are so beautiful and it makes me so sad that they've been hurt by people around them. Just remember that hurting people hurt people so if someone has hurt you you can try to forgive them knowing that they're probably going through something to😢

  10. Moral Is – People always judges u on ever step of your life and this is the only thing that makes you feel unsecure about yourself , So never let yourself down , always be confident , love yourself , Do what makes u happy and keep improving yourself..

  11. I am super insecure about my hairy legs, my voice, theighs, and mostly my weight. I have a friend who is so pretty she is so skinny and there is a girl and her legs and theighs are sticks she is perfect. But so am I.

  12. why are people only talking about how they are struggling to be 'fat' but not skinny. Just because ur skinny doesn't mean u have the perfect body and don't struggle, thats really messed up

  13. The fact that when I was 10-12 I would go meals without eating anything and I would obsess about fitness comparing myself against my friends, my teachers put me in the c team for sport so I thought the only way I could possibly be moved up is by starving myself. My friends would go out wearing crop tops whilst all I wore was baggy clothes because I thought I looked fat. All this because of the disgusting society we live in.

  14. I am 12 year old and My friends really felt it was funny to make a joke of calling me fat because of my bone structure and also my family fat shaming me bcoz i have a big chest and hip area. Idk why tho. I just stopped caring abt that now and just focus on loving myself<3

  15. hey! I am a 16-year-old and I USED TO BE insecure about myself but I have overcome them now. There's a trick I used that I think can help all of us do the same…It simply says that You have to shift your negative perspectives to positive ones…For example, I used to think that my brown skin resembles dirt or mud, but then, I shifted my perspective of seeing it more as a chocolatey colour. or, I was even insecure about my stretch marks but then I thought they just look like SUPER COOL lightning tattoos and even tiger stripes.
    HOPE IT HELPS!!!

  16. I am still very young and I feel very self conscious about my body. I sometimes feel like I need to be more skinny when my mum mentions that I need to do more exercise to not gain weight (I’m already underweight) I feel like I’m fat when she says that and I feel as though I shouldn’t eat when she says that but on the other hand I often get called a twig or really skinny or small, this makes me feel like I need to gain weight to be ‘normal’ then I try to eat more and it barely does anything and I feel sick to the stomach feeling like I’m fat or too skinny. I am also shorter then most people in my class and I feel so self conscious about being so short. My legs are ugly, the top of them are fat while the bottom of them are thin, I barely have hips and it makes me feel so ugly, and what is worst about this is that when I tried to think of something i like about I body I couldn’t, my whole body is ugly, I feel sick writing this, I’m still very young (not specifying my age) and I already hate myself this much, anyone else who goes through this on a daily basis, I’m here for you I get it, you’re not alone and I’m here for you.
