Why Society Is Wrong About Me

It was society that taught me to hate who I am. It was bullying that taught me from a young age that being a different shape from the rest of the girls wasn’t acceptable. That being academically advanced wasn’t cool. That bringing in an ASDA bag for my PE kit instead of an Adidas one was going to cause problems socially.

I grew up and though I’ve experienced bullying in my adult life, it’s not ground me down like they did when I was a kid. I used to want to be popular. One of the cool kids. But I look at them – and me – now. I’ve fought battles they never thought existed. I might still be fat lol but I think of all I HAVE achieved and that’s worth everything.

I’ve no reason to hate who I am.
Society is wrong. Not me.
