It was never easy. having certain health issues that people didn't understand made me an easy target growing up, and of course, being depressive didn't make it any easier. I overcame thoughts of suicide (four times) through compassion from those that loved me along with counseling and therapy and have become a fervent advocate for this cause. This is one cycle that we need to break! No ifs, ands or buts about it, IT NEEDS TO STOP. 

You are loved, you boys and young men are handsome, and you girls and young ladies ARE beautiful, we've all been there. is it fair? No. Do you deserve it? 

Not at all whatsoever.

Remember: You are loved, you are beautiful, and just remember when you feel like nobody thinks so?

I do.
