My Body Insecurity, share yours by Abetterperson: 4:01pm On May 10, 2020 |
Growing up funny enough I didn't even know I had problems with my body until a friend back then pointed it out to me. When I was still a SS 1 student.We were all walking back from school one day when she told me that I don't have a big butt��. This girl made it to sound like it was a life problem. She told me that since I didn't have a big butt guys wouldn't find me attractive (funny thing this girl butt nor big o), she made me feel like am ugly and soon started instructing me on want to do to have a big butt. That day marked the start of my insecurity. I was so adamant to have a big butt. I would hide from people for days at one period it affect my education because I didn't want to go to school, I didn't want people to see me. It got worse day by day. I would Google in things that can make the butt grow, I wore bagging clothes to hid my figure. I even thought of going for plastic surgery. That want body insecurity does to you, it messes with your brain. It didn't take long before I started notice all the things wrong with my face. I thought I was ugly and tried to hide from people. My body insecurity got the best of me even people I knew am far more attractive than started using it to insult me. How I overcome it is a testimony in is own right. I left that my friend group not only because they were the cause of my body insecurity but they will remind me of everything that's bad about me, leave their educational purposes to start gossiping other people. They were just toxic and brought out the worst in me not only physically but also mentally. I started to love my flaws and accepted my imperfection, I allow my body to do it's thing. Body insecurity is something most teen and even adults have. It's natural to feel you are not beautiful enough but you should always love your body. It's yours and no has the right to tell how it should be. You look in the mirror and you don't like want you see and lable yourself as ugly even when you are one of the most beautiful creature the world is lucky to have. Be happy with your body #SPEADPOSITIVITY #SAYNOTOBODYINSECURITY I have decided to write about the things teens go through so as to help parents understand their kids and build a healthy relationship with them. For parents tell me what else you will like me to talk about 7 Likes 1 Share |

It's all about packaging, your self esteem and confidence. Back in my high school days, the most sort after, envious, popular student then was very short(Not claiming short people ain't attractive, don't get me wrong please) average beauty yet she acted like she was the Queen of every female on planet earth! She even became the Head girl due to how she carried herself amongst other students. You are beautiful only when you see yourself as one. 15 Likes |

Well, as a teenager, I was insecure about my boobs. I was thin with small boobs and the hips of an adult. Friends would jokingly ask me why "front no resemble back". E pain me that year o. There was a day I was walking with a friend and two guys were behind us. All of a sudden, they stopped talking and walked past us. One of the guys looked me in the face and said something about how the boobs aren't big enough to complement the ass. Got home that day and cried myself to sleep. I was 16 then. I'd pray to God to please increase the boobs and take away the hips. My first love helped in rebuilding my self confidence. 11 Likes |

This reminds me of someone I know. She would always tell me that I'm attracted to her even when I had said no such thing, so one day I asked her outright if she actually thought she was that beautiful. Her response was astounding, yea she actually believed it even though all the physical metrics proved otherwise. She was a real psycho, but her confidence level was off the charts and that was her most endearing quality. NO I still don't think she is beautiful or attractive, but if she thought so about herself and believed it, then that's enough. 5 Likes |

Abetterperson:I had similar experience dear,mine was envious mates using the woman part of my body to shame me,they will gossip to my hearing arguing why I developed some parts so quickly than my mates,they gave me a nickname and I began having issues with myself,i began to double my mums wrapper to press down my chest so it will look flat like my mates,i was starting to assume some postures to hide things(curved postures so that my chest can be hidden)and that was when my mom noticed, she had to step in and sharply built my self confidence for me back.I bounced back hard on those girls ehn,when we got to the sss class I became center of attraction in the whole school and everyone wanted to become my friend including those group of girls and ever since I have never allowed myself to be in such situation again.Even though I'm naturally a quiet and reserved person,my self esteem remains top notch 6 Likes |

We obsess with our perceived imperfections because we all want to be loved and accepted. How I wish we lived in a world where our inner assets would be much more important than vanity, where character would be what counts and determine the way people see us. But we live in a shallow world "glorifying false gods". |

I think most everyone has an insecurity and wrong body image story. It's a part of growing up and teenage years. For some, it ends well. For others, it's a long, draining esteem destroying battle that leads to neediness and validation from the wrong kind of people. In high school, I was so underdeveloped, I had one of those ridiculous nicknames to go along. And it wasn't just a physical something, even internally. No breast, no ass, short legs, no menstruation, no pimples (it was considered evidence of growth too) nothing. The only thing that grew were my brains and nails. Fortunately, the story changed when I turned 17. Although, I has finished school then. |
