Hey! We all know what body shaming is, but do you know how it felt like?If you know the feel…you may be the victim.My dears, it's a body burning feel!!!
What is body shaming?It is the act of humiliating someone by criticizing their body.
There are various types of body shaming- fat shaming, skinny shaming, skin colour shaming, height shaming and a lot more!!!
Do you know why people are humiliating someone by mocking or making critical comments on their body type? It may be due to the insecurities of their own or thinking themselves as the perfect person or may be they think that there is a standard of perfect body.
Where can we see body shaming? The answer is everywhere!!! I am not exaggerating.Just look around and you can understand. Even in many families, people are being body shamed by their loved ones knowingly or unknowingly. Comparing the children between parents , siblings, neighbours , friends ,etc will spoil not only their childhood but also the whole life. It will remain as a trauma .
People are even not trying to understand why they are fat or thin. Many medical conditions like PCOD, thyroid,anemia can lead to weight change. Many medical conditions like gigantism, dwarfism, familial conditions lead to varying height.Same in case of skin colour. Apart those things, that is their body. If they are comfortable in that , then what makes you people uncomfortable???
The after effects of body shaming are dangerous. It leads the victims to several disorders like bulemia, anorexia or severely affect their mental health resulting in anxiety, depression, loss of self esteem, fear of public appearance and many more.
I wonder how people can play with others mental health!!!Every person in this world is unique and beautiful in their ways. Imagine all are having same skin colour, height, weight ,etc…How boring will be our world!!!The beauty lies in the diversity.No one in this world have the right to comment on other's body type.The physical beauty is not a promise.It can lose within minutes.
"The beauty lies in the eyes of the observer". If your eyes are not good enough to see the beauty, it's definitely your mistake.Try to see everyone as pretty as their souls.
My dear friends, stand up for the victims!!! Convince the people that body shaming is wrong. Don't promote any body shaming activities in social media, just report the account if you find any.
And my dear victims….Love yourself… you are beautiful…awesome…keep going…
