My Story
My name is Katie, I’m 18 and I am currently in school studying Art History.
When I was ten I started getting bullied for my looks, I was told every day that I was fat, and was called names such as “Miss Piggy”, “Shamu”, “Whale”, etc.
Though I was NOT fat, I began to believe the words of everyone around me and found myself faced with a standard of thin I would not be able to meet without making myself sick or starving myself. (which I am thankful I never did)
However, this time in my life was very lonely and painful and hard to get through, I was left to struggle with anxiety and the memories that occasionally pop up and sting as much as the moments themselves.
To physically pledge myself to reach my goal of $1000.00, AND when I do reach my goal I promise to shave off all of my hair.
I want to resist what the media and society as a whole have taught me to be “true beauty” I want to take back my body and show the world that beauty doesn’t just depend on your hair, your clothes or the makeup you choose to wear.
