Dear Body Shamers,
First off, congratulations on being one of the many reasons girls like myself wake up every day and find themselves obsessing over what they look like. I could be spending time preparing for class or enjoying a nice breakfast in the morning, but instead, I sit in front of the mirror and perfect my make up and freak out over my outfit just so people cannot find things wrong with me. Hearing the hate you spit, the garbage you say about people and how they look, I don't think I want to be your friend. When I leave the room, are you saying how I'm too skinny or too short? Are you commenting on how I look just as you comment on all the other girls you call your friends? I don't think anyone should want to be your friend. No one, whether they be fat, skinny, tall, or short should ever have to hear your opinion on their body. It is their body; not yours. It is not your place, your right, or your job to critique me, I do a fine job of critiquing myself as is. A little respect for the fact that I do not look like you, or look like the idea of beauty that you've created in your head, would be nice for a change.
By the way, congratulations on joining the Meghan Trainor's of the world. The girl's who believe you cannot be beautiful unless your body curves the way theirs do. Or the girls who think being too tall or too short will be the reason you'll end up in your late 20s and single. I'm sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. I spent my middle school years picking myself apart, and I am not about to let you do that to me or to any other girl ever again. I am putting my foot down and letting it be known that women come in different body types and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Oh and congratulations on having zero respect for other women. I take every compliment you give, if you ever even give them, with a grain of salt because I know you don't accept anyone or anything that doesn't look like you. Yes, love your curves as you should, but remember that no one comments on your own physique. The only thing I will ever critique is your attitude. I find a major issue in the fact that you call yourself a strong woman, when in fact, no strong woman would ever raise them self up by bringing down other women. Every word you say, every ounce of hate that your have spirals from jealousy. Maybe you wish you could look like her, maybe you want to be the skinny girl that you say you hate so much. Love yourself as you are and no one asked for your opinion on whether or not your love their body as well.
