Accept Yourself and Share Your Feelings
My name is Li Mei. Today, I want to share my story of growing up.
During my 8th grade, I went through many changes. As I was growing taller, I was gaining weight quickly. This made me feel bad about myself, and I often argued with my parents for nothing. At times, I was really feeling lonely and unhappy.
Luckily, my elder sister, Zhenzhen, noticed how I was feeling. She was always there to listen. With her support, I started to talk about my feelings. Little by little, I became more confident, and my relationship with my parents also improved.
Being a teenager is not easy, but I learned to accept myself and share my feelings. Now, I don’t worry about my weight anymore. Instead, I feel happy every day!
