Body Shaming | Isabella Gong | TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai

A message to people who have experienced body shaming - you are perfect as you are! Being a victim of body shaming, the negative impact can become quite severe and lead to mental health issues. How can we learn to cope when body shaming occurs? How can a person develop healthy mind habits and realise they someone who is loved and cherished? Although the process is not easy, I will tell my story and what I did to overcome it. Isabella (Junyuan) was born in Shanghai, China. As a student, she studies a range of subjects and hopes to further her education in either biochemistry or criminology. In daily life, Isabella loves doing sports such as soccer and basketball. She loves how sport can help to relax people, but also sees how team sports help to promote relationships, social development and teamwork skills. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

How to show empathy to those actually "need" it, then 🤔 ? I mean I just concern that I couldn't help to say it, but never comes up in my mind to body-shame anyone 😔 I mean what words to replace those "words" 😅
