Whatta B.

From what we started watching in class, I remember of a time where a girl made me feel completely worthless and ashamed to be who I was. This took place during 7th grade, I was walking home with this girl who I didnt consider a "friend," but rather just a girl I walked home with just to not go alone. We were talking about our crushes and I happened to tell her that I had a crush on this guy who Ive known since elementary school. It wast even an actual crush, more like a small, tiny crush. Well when I told her, she came off by saying,

"Why do you like him? Can you imagine yourself next to him? He's all skinny and white... You'll look super fat next to him..."

At that moment I felt speechless and I just wanted to cry, but instead I forced myself to play along and say, "Yeah.. I know." She was know to be *the B word and no one really liked her. And o this point no one really does.  I took what she said as a way to offend me and call me fat. From what she said, I felt ashamed to be who I was and how I looked. I actually began to hate myself more than ever but later in high school I began to accept who I was and told myself that the only way to "change" was to start working out and challenging myself.

I feel like in middle school is the period where the phase of wanting to be "perfect" hits. Wanting to have perfect hair, perfect body, perfect everything. I think the biggest target to advertise this issue is to middle school kids.
