Summer is here and it’s usually a time when people want to get in shape for the holidays and those much-awaited international beach outings.
While it is okay to want to look great, an obsession with body image can be crippling. Our June ‘Speak Your Mind’ topic explores how ‘poor body image has a negative impact on mental health’. If you have ever felt insecure in your own skin because you were a few kilos overweight, or because a rude comment in school pushed you to second-guess your worth, write to us, in about 100 words, how it affected you and how you might have overcome the resentment.
Email gdnnews@gdnmedia.bh or follow @gdnonline on Instagram. The most creatively written entries will be featured in the paper – only ‘original’ responses will be considered.
