My Understanding About Body Shaming

Body shaming has its meaning encrypted in its name. It is actually the act in which a person is being taunted because the body parts is irregular or has the shape that was not supposed to be. For instance, a person may have extra long legs. Then, an individual will walk up to that person and say nasty comment about the legs. Then, the person is being body shamed. This phenomenon is not a new thing in our generation. Naturally, some people find it as an object of cruise to body shame other. They take delight in seeing this victim feeling dejected. These people are known as the perpetuators of body shaming.

Have I ever been in such situation

Actually I have not been in a situation where I would become upset about my body. My creator did a classic work of art in me. He never deny me of anything. All parts of my body are working in good shape and efficiently. This is one of the reasons I would be ever thankful of him (My Creator).

Is Body Shaming Harmful

Body shaming is a very harmful practice that affects only the victim not the perpetrators. Most of the suicide committed by people is causes by issues like this (Body Shaming). Body shamed victims usually feel dejected. Perpetrators of this issue has only one thing in mind ie Mockery or Cruise to that body part. The victim usually feel down and can't associate with people. The reason is that they believe other will mock them too. Another harmful effect is that the victim can go into a process called Plastic Surgery. This process can alter or enhance their targeted body part or the entire body. Plastic surgery if not done well can cause other complications to the human body. This complications can lead the victim to his/her early grave. Finally, body shaming has caused depression on the side of the victims. As a result of this, the victims can't associate with other making their life lonely.

My Advice Gor The Victims and Perpetrators of Body Shaming

Body shaming is now a major issue occurring in our today's society. In order to curb this issue, I have few pieces of advice I'll love to both the victim and the perpetrators.

To the victim: As an adage strongly uphold, "We cannot change the bad or awful yesterday but we can work on today to achieve a blissful future". I know that you cannot your yesterday of shame and mockery but you can change this phenomenon. When you are being body shamed, then just leave the arena. But, if it is too much, please involve the law enforcement agencies.

To the Perpetrators: Catching cruise might be a normal thing for a set of people. But, don't take your cruise off someone body. This is because you are destroying someone's reputation and life. Please stop this habit.
