Why We Need To Cut It Out With The Body Shaming

Body shaming does nothing but bring people down.

Why We Need To Cut It Out With The Body Shaming
thesun.co.uk

In this day in time, we are always worried about everyone else other than ourselves. We judge everyone else that is different than us because deep down inside, we find something intriguing about them and we feel we cannot be nice to one another.

Stop body shaming ‘bigger’ girls when they decide to work up the nerve to wear that two-piece bathing suit. They already feel like they are out of place, there is no need to keep staring at them and wondering why she is wearing it. Go over to her and tell her that she looks awesome and she is beautiful just the way that she is.

Stop body shaming the ‘skinny’ girls when they wear a bikini. No matter how you interpret ‘too skinny’ there is no need to judge someone that fits your criteria. There may be those girls who work out five days a week and cannot be anything but skinny. There are girls who have higher metabolisms, but that is no reason to judge them for it.

Stop body shaming the girls who are wearing the cheeky bikini bottoms. No, these bottoms are not for everyone. But there are some girls who love the way they look in them. We all have certain things that we wear that some people may not like but that does not mean we go and change. There is no point in shaming someone who feels good in what they are wearing.

Stop body shaming the guy that is a little bit bigger than you prefer. There is probably a girl out there who loves him for who he is and not for his looks. Some people are just born big.

Stop body shaming the guy who is ‘skin and bones’. There also is someone who loves him just the way he is. There is no point in shaming someone for something that they cannot control. Some people are just born smaller than others.

Stop body shaming the girls that are a different color than you. Everyone was made in their own special way and shaming them for how they were born, is ridiculous. We are all God's children and that means that we are all brothers and sisters. We need to love one another no matter what color.

In our world, we are always focused on finding something negative about someone. Every time you go to say something negative about someone's image, change it and think about something positive. You don’t have to say this positive thing to them, but knowing that there is one less person out there body shaming, makes the world a better place. God made us all how He wanted us to be, and we need appreciate every beautiful creature He has made.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
