Why can't we be happy in our own skin? Nothing is ever good enough. Why must we always believe that what we call beauty, is something so unattainable?

It's pointless to try to figure out what drives people to extremes in search for what is called "being socially acceptable"...beautiful... as we already know, many things influence people.

Why do we fail to see that real beauty lies within? Why must it take so long and be so damn hard to actually learn the lesson and stop treating ourselves this way...we know the consequences, sadly, some never learn...

I'm glad to say that I am not a slow learner and though I learned the hard way, I certainly learned my lesson.

When I was a kid, I was the chubby little girl. At the time, like most kids, I didn't have a care in the world. Then, the bullying starts; a lot of us know that story.

At school, I was often called names, made fun of, laughed at, critized, basically banned from hanging with the other girls; pushed to the point where I had to hide in corners just so I could eat my lunch...or throw it away...whatever I thought was best at the time.

Well this is my first soapbox article.
I was thinking about creating a spot like this yesterday.

It was all about one of my best friends. She´s bulimic. My friends and I are really worried. It has been a month since we know.
Every time she eats she excuses her self to the bathroom with some stupid excuse like she needs to brush her teeth. We try to stop it, tell her she´s too thing and that its dangerous but she just refuses to listnen and denys it.

She is really thin now, everytime you touch her hair it falls as its has no force to keep on hold, her fingers are burnt and callous.

At the beginnig she was just irritable. Her humor changed so easily, she could be happy and talking to you and the next second she´ll just yell at you. We didn´t make much fuss about it we thought it was just a bad day. But she was getting worse and more irritable.
We knew something was wrong now but we never thought of that problem, we thought she had problems in her house or something. One day we all decided to go to eat after school.
