Mary suffered from child cancer when she was 5 years old. The surgery helped her survive but she became very skinny by the age of 14.
She's so skinny...I know, right? She looks so ugly! She should eat more..
Omg, Hey Mary..been a long time..You have become so thin. You should eat more. No one is going to marry you with that thin physique .
Everybody keeps picking on me for being so thin. I hate my body!
Yes, she has become very thin. She is suffering from the after effects of child cancer. We consulted a doctor.
What's wrong sweetheart? Why are you crying?
Dad! Everyone picks on me for being so thin! I want plastic surgery to look nice! I want people to like me. I want to be normal like others.
You're beautiful just the way you are. You don't need plastic surgery to look better. Your beauty is on the inside. Be confident and kind and people will follow.
Yes dear, and the doctors have told us that your condition is going to get better if you just keep eating the right amount of food.
From then on, Mary realized that the her real beauty was hidden in heart. She ate well and soon became very healthy. She was confident and the kids in her school stopped bullying her. Just like Mary, several people are body shamed, and all they need is a guiding hand to give them the strength to go through it and rise above the bullies.
