Mental Health.

Mental health has many different stigmas around it.
We (as humans) create theses stigmas. So many people have a mental illness, theses can range from anxiety to depression to an eating disorder. 
In my (short) life so far I have had/have anxiety and depression. 
I didn't like telling people about it because of all the things surrounding the word depression and anxiety. 
But I now know its better to talk about it. 
Many people do not understand depression and anxiety as everyone has different experiences and most people have never really been told what it is.  
We need to talk about it more. 
People with a mental health problems feel alone and like they have no one to talk to. 
Mental health is something everyone can talk about but it might be hard for some people but we need to talk about it more! 
Talking about it can make you happier!

Don't forget to love yourself!

Body Confidence.

Body confidence is a big issue in this day and age.
Most of my friends, guys and girls, struggle with body confidence. I do to.
We are all different sizes, shapes and colours. We need to learn to love are bodies for how they were made. We are all to afraid of being judged because of our bodies, we forget that the people who we think will judge us are thinking the very same.
Your body is amazing.
It is unique and only you have it.
You are all beautiful in you own ways.
You can love yourself! You must.
Louise aka sprinkle of glitter (bloger/youtuber) has made me realise that your body is beautiful no matter what your size is or shape. No Louise isn't the skinniest person in the world but that doesn't matter to her nor to anyone of that matter.
the video 


I read on a website  that:
 33% A third of children say they often worry about the way they look and appearance is the largest cause of bullying in schools.
83% of adults do not feel confident about their body.
31% of 25-34 year olds say the way they look has stopped them going for a job. 
THIS NEEDS TO STOP. We need to teach children at school about body confidence and how they're all beautiful in there own way. 
Everyone is different. Your flaws make you flawless. I'm sure nobody is 100% in love with every part of there body, but its okay. We all like some parts of our body, that's great. Show off the bits you like and show off the bits you don't. Don't let people bring you down. Please. 

I love you all. 
Don't forget to love yourself!
You all have beautiful bodies.
