Hey, I’m Saanvi. Just another normal teenager. Every day as youngsters we hear from our peers these clothes make me look so skinny, it’s better if you pose like this it makes you look slim. We say all this as if being a little chubby or fat is bad. Why can’t we normalize being fat? Bullying your friends for being fat doesn’t make you seem popular or cool. And this doesn’t end here; people are bullied for being skinny too. You may have been a victim or a villain. God has made us all with the same blood and flesh after all. Why not appreciate all forms of beauty? We are so focused on looking a certain way which we now describe as perfect. This ‘perfect’ is actually toxic .A perfect person is someone who has learnt how to find beauty in everything. So, why don’t we normalize all body types and stop making people feel left out for looking different. We all have experienced some sort of putting down on the basis of how we look whether it be online or physically. From now on make a promise to yourself. I will find beauty in everyone and will stop body shaming.

Depression
I used to feel like running away and daydream of leaving everything and everyone behind. Not forever, just as long as it took for me to feel better. To be okay again. I thought that if I went somewhere new and different, that I’d be different, and by different, I mean feeling like my old self again. I felt unsettled, discontent. Like I was being pulled towards something but I couldn’t see what that something was. And that “not knowing” caused me anxiety, stress, feelings of depression and sadness.
The Face Behind the Mask
My name is Amberly Clark, I am 14, and I wanted to try my hand at poetry. I love to write articles and short stories, but nothing can portray a message so deeply as a poem. I wanted to talk about mental health. As teenagers, we often feel like we are drowning. Like no one understands, and I hope that with this poem people finally will.
