From a young age I always had low self-esteem, however as I got slightly older, I began to realise that it.

Unfortunately, this did not last for long as one day I received a message from a close friend telling me that I should lose weight and that no one could ever love me as I was.

This really broke down my already low self-esteem and I went down the rabbit hole of always putting myself down.

Eventually, I got the courage to talk to my family and opened up about it; they helped me through it along with some interesting websites that empower young people to take charge of who they are.

I have since talked through my problems and always speak to people when things become too overwhelming for me.
