In 2nd grade I hated my skin
In 3rd grade I thought I was too fat
In 4th grade I didn't identify with being a girl. And I cut.
In 5th grade I hated how I wasn't getting curves
In 6th grade I hated how I was 'ginger'
In 7th grade I hated how I was naturally very skinny


The point of posting this isn't to get pitty. It's to show that issues like this aren't just things experienced by teenagers. They can happen at any age. And that people need to stop saying that someone is "too young" to understand something; because chances are they're not. Instead of just dismissing these things as issues we need to adress with teenagers we should start younger. Perhaps if we accepted the fact that even young children have body and self esteem issues then we could stop them there instead of letting the issues worsen as they grow. We don't want to think of little kids knowing about and having problems like these but lots of them do; and when we realize and accept that young children are at least partially aware of these things then we can more efficently fix them.
