Ever since elementary school,
I’ve been told that I’m overweight.
That I have curves that make me look older than I am.
I decided to lose weight when I went to university.
Even though I wasn’t really overweight.
A lot of people even told me that I had a good body.
But I still hated it so much.
Mainly because my family and relatives always called me “chubby.”
“What’s all this fat?”
They’d ask me.
I also got a lot of comments on the streets.
The number of comments increased as I got older and went to university.
Now I’m done with university,
But not with the comments.
They have continued to increase.
The harassment I received,
Which society merely calls “teasing,”
Made me hate my body even more.
