KESHA
“I was often bullied and shamed into hiding the things that made me unique. I remember hanging up the velvet pants I had made by hand and asking my mother to take me to the GAP to buy some normal clothes at one point. That experiment failed miserably. because it just wasn’t me. When I think about the kind of bullying I dealt with as a child and teen, it seems almost quaint compared with what goes on today. The amount of body shaming and baseless slut-shaming online makes me sick. I know from personal experience how comments can mess up somebody’s self confidence and sense of self worth. I have felt so unlovable after reading cruel words written by strangers who don’t know a thing about me.” People Magazine
