Body shaming is a problem for centuries. For centuries there were people who were victims of body shaming but now people have started to take a stand against this. Earlier people had so much bigger problems in our society such as drug addiction, child marriage, dowry, killing female infants, and many more that the victim of this problem never gets such desire. Though this problem is still there and many more new arise but people have now started to give their victim an equal desire as the victim of other crimes.

Actually, the victim of body shaming now gets desire also as people have seen that like there are laws for other crimes there are also laws against body shaming which makes them understand that it is an equal crime like others. But it is our prime responsibility to make people aware of this body-shaming that it is not a joke or fun but a serious crime. As many people do this as fun or a joke but we need to make them understand that maybe it is just a joke for them but it hurts someone’s soul, so they shouldn’t do it. And all those people who think that it is not a serious issue scroll the media you will understand what these body shaming can do or what it has done. Many of our people have faced it.

It is by nature that we (humans) have deficiencies in body or mind or intellect.  God doesn’t creature everybody equal in all respects. There is individual difference. But everyone has the right to develop gifted potentialities, acquire knowledge and skills, work for leading a decent life. Humans can’t be all perfect, then why do we shame others. 

There are two main reasons which I believe for what we have no right to shame others bodies.

 Firstly I think that we all are having some flaws in our body then we have no right to tell bad or criticise others on their shape, size, height, colour,etc. 

Secondly, if it’s a known fact that human beings differ in attributes then there is no point to criticise or abuse someone on his or her body formation, mental make-up, choices, wishes and desires. 

There were many people also who don’t protest against the tendency of abuses. But now we have to realise that body shaming should be considered an uncivilized practice. It resisted morally and socially. Civilized people may raise their voices against it. Unfortunately, we don’t take the issue seriously but those who went through this shaming know how much mental torture it let loose on people. 

And sometimes it also happens that people do body shaming of theirs own,i.e, they criticize about their own body. Trying to improve yourself or trying to get a better version of yourself is good but being dissatisfied with your look or in trying to improve it doing physical torture to ourselves is one sense doing personal body shaming. 

In everyday life, we see people discussing someone if that person is dark, excess thin or fat, short or excess tall. “What matters to u ?? Maybe I am the worst looking person in the person.. Ur isn’t paying me. So just stop teasing upon my look u too don’t look like a fairy, you are also like me. So if you shame my body, then I can also do the same with you. Then only you will understand what one goes through when you shame that’s person body.” This phrase should be said to everybody shamers as it is a perfect line which people of this mentality deserve.

This body shaming may seem a very simple issue but this can lead to even death of someone as the pressure or insecurity about your look created due to body shaming makes people start to think that they need to change and in order to change their look, they sometimes start to take fake weight-loss tablets, becoming tall tablets, fair creams, etc due all these tablets and creams they might face physical problems. These tablets often contain harmful chemicals which are very bad for our health and people might develop serious diseases due to it. These tablets often led to the death of the people. Using unknown and fake fair creams people may develop skin infections as this Cream may sometimes contain harmful chemicals which are very bad for our skin. Except for all these problems this body-shaming also led people to go into the dark world of depression as this body-shaming causes a lot of mental pressure on some people that even led them to sacrifice their own lives. Body shaming hampers sound development personality and the building of a career. 

I believe that all those people who went through body shaming should remember these lines as it may help them and rectify them so that they don’t repeat the same mistake again.                                                                                                       

In hope of making yourselves the best in the eyes of these shamers, you are killing yourself or becoming worse in the eyes of your own soul. So just think if you should listen or become insecure about yourself only due to their remarks. I know we all have to face this but never let anyone judge you and taking anyone’s judgments seriously especially these type of people is just foolishness. If a person loves themselves then they could take a stand for themselves. If hearing someone judgment about you who those do not know you properly you start doubting yourselves. Then who will punish this fellow person,who will realize them their fault , who will tell them that you are not imperfect but their mentality is imperfect?

If anyone sees a person being body-shamed then don’t stand quiet, go and fight for them. As one slap on the body shamers can save one life. So from next time just take a stand for yourselves and anyone who is a victim of these and every stand which you take against these people is showing love to yourself.

Stop body shaming, stop killing souls.

A famous poet wrote -:

“You are not a mistake. You are not a problem to be solved . But you won’t discover this until you are willing to stop banging your head against the wall of Shaming and caging and fearing yourself.”
