It's My Body. Back Off
Body shaming wasn't something you ever really heard about until recently. It happened. It still happens, but it wasn't big news. It wasn't until one of my students came in (they're 7) and said, "I'm on a diet. I'm fat." Shocked, I said, "Excuse me?" and they told me how their mother had put them on a diet. Now, this mother may not have done so and this child may have just been all talk, but at SEVEN the biggest thing a girl needs to be worried about is whether or not she's getting a Barbie Dream House...
