Madison Sydney For as long as i can remember, I’ve always struggled with my weight. Usually when you hear about someone struggling about weight, you would assume it’s difficulties with weight-loss. Not in this case. Most people think that “fat” people or people with size are the only ones with weight issues but that’s not the case. For my entire life I have always been the smallest in every class/group of friends, both in size and height. Even in cases where I’ve been older I would always look like the baby of the crew. I was never comfortable in anything I did. I especially was never comfortable in the clothes i wore. I always thought that I looked too thin, and people often reminded me of it. They would make a circle around my wrist with their index finger and thumb to indicate how small I was. I also dealt with a lot of smart comments like “what size are you 0 ?” or “you need to eat a burger” as if gaining weight was as easy for everyone. I tried appetite boosters, protein shake...

- Keana Smart I had a problem with my height , because everyone use to call me names for it and because if that I didn’t want to grow taller because it made me feel insecure. I get over this by getting closer with God,and knowing that I am beautiful strong and independent and that I don’t have to rely on others or their opinions. For god said I am fearfully and wonderfully , in him I put my trust and through all that I realized that I am favored by God and that is why I walk today proud of being tall. Sent from my iPhone

- kaiyah taylor I'm here to talk about women being insecure about their hair. For me I never had thick hair, or long hair. My hair is short and thin, and people love to talk about me and say i’m baldheaded. As a young lady I take offense to my own personal belonging; my hair because its an insecurity that i have dealt with in my life. I would be so scared to show my hair because of people laughing at me or viedo taping my hair as a joke. Now, as a Young adult I have come to a realization that I shouldn’t care what people think, because at the end of the day you are beatiful inside and out. Dont let people stop you from being you, especially insecurities.

It is confusing living under the emotionless and stern. Every other day is  like a battlefield of attachments and resent. Your memory is trained with the lessons that tears is your worst enemy but there can be agreement for moments to cry, the highest expectations are always heavily waited on you, there’s a force of having automatic commonsense, being asked what’s wrong is not actual curiosity it’s the statement to fix your issues, and also most importantly respect is your master without hesitation. Sadly my actions are mapped out plan ,by those who has more authority over me, with what to do, and what not to do. Learning that I taught myself that my reign of terror will not be given to me in my parents household until I have my own. For now I suffer a roller coaster of endless drama, expectations, and attachment with constant confessions. Every action done to another of the same position as I am in, is counted as a lesson. I would never dare to put myself into that same person sh...

Ketanya Stephens I  was living in west Philadelphia  for most of my life with my father ...I moved back to Tortola when I was about 13. I was happy to move back to be with my mother and sister. When I came I was supposed to be placed in form 3 but they put me back because I came from out of the Caribbean. As soon as I started attending school people would make fun of me because of my accent and how I spoke . They would ask me "why you yanking this tola ". They would also tell me that I talk that way because I feel I'm all that just  because I came from the states. They bullied me to the point where I changed the way I spoke just to fit in with everyone . After that they started bullying me about being in a lower grade than them. saying I was stupid and I failed even though I didn't. I used to get upset and argue with the other girls at school, but after a while I just ignored them. When they realized they couldn't bother me at school anymore they took it t...
