I was obsessed with looking perfect

I was obsessed with looking perfect

"Thank you Kids Helpline for helping me."

Caitlyn, 14

"I felt ugly even when people said I was beautiful"

I looked at myself in the mirror everyday looking at my weight and general appearance. Every day I was late for school because I was obsessed with looking perfect.

Everyone around me thought I was beautiful and skinny but I didn't see it.

Kids Helpline have helped me by teaching me how to like the way I look. They also reminded me that no one is perfect. Thank you Kids Helpline!
