We live in a society which is full of harassments of all sorts. Bullying, peer pressure and body-shaming are the things that are prevalent not just in our schools but even at homes. It is something we have to face every day for being obese, skinny, dark or anything else. So much so that sometimes we do not even realise that we are being harassed or that sometimes we are participating in it. The practice of body shaming exits in office, home, showbiz, sports, classroom and almost everywhere. It is a habit of making irrational fun of others in an effort of making them insignificant or small.
Everyone is beautiful in their own form. We have no right to mock others for their physical appearance. We need to teach our children to be okay with their body first, and respect others' appearances. Public awareness against body shaming should be raised for its elimination from society.
