I was mostly verbally (sometimes physically) abused as a child. I blamed myself for years. Now that I’m older, I realize I’m not and should not be held accountable for others’ actions. -HilLesha

This is such an incredibly inspiring and empowering post. I had terrible self esteem as a teenager, as I think many girls do.

I was physically and emotionally abused as a child and at the time it didn’t affect me much and I thought I didn’t need counselling. But as the years went on coupled with the severe bullying I was facing I began to think that I am not good enough and loathed the way I looked. Even now it is still the same and it is an uphill battle that I am trying to climb!
