Have you ever been body shamed? How did you feel about it? And how did you handle it​?

Do you have any advice for others about responding to the situation?

Because I suffered with very early onset puberty as well a form of VBH ( Virginal Breast Hypertrophy) I was mocked, teased, body shamed, you name it, from the age of ten right through until my very late teens.

I continuously felt ashamed, embarrassed, and extremely upset, but fortunately I had an extremely supportive family and a very small circle of close and understanding friends.

Without this support heaven only knows what or where I might have been today.

Gosh! Thank you so much @softhoney for the MHO. x

Yeah, it has caused me to develop an eating disorder, low self-esteem and body dismoprah 😔

I’ve been skinny-shamed and fat-shamed. Know those people that the words skinny and fat both have horrible connotations? Thank goodness they stopped!

Yes I was bullied for being a beanpole and I didn’t react to it well.

[Wise4myage]

No, not that I am aware of.

Thankfully not
