My Aunt is beautiful, but from that day she's had terribly low self esteem, and believe's she has a mild case of Body Dysmorphic Disorder. All because of those low-life immature bastards. It's sad. So sad.  |
Well there was a lot of emphasis on physical appearance in my family. So I was predisposed to let that comment get to me. Otherwise I might have told that boy where to stick it. I just wasn't raised to defend myself or feel good about myself. That is the actual sad part. This will always be an issue for me but I have largely overcome it. Children can be so cruel!
