Against Body Shaming

Hello!

Hello! My name is Flaminia Dell’Amico. I am 19 years old and I was born in Rome, Italy. I always lived in Rome even though I have a place in my heart that sometimes feels more like my actual house. It is a small town in the south of Italy called Sapri. Me and my family have had a house here since many years, and it reminds me of my childhood. Every time I go there I can see how much I grew and developed. I try to go there and spend as much time as I can! I love languages. Since I was little I was put in a school that is half French, and I could learn languages very fast thanks to wonderful teachers. I now speak French, English and Spanish. When I can I always try find time to travel, to be able to discover new places and practice languages. In high school I spent six months in New Zealand. Not only I became very fluent in English, I also had one of the best experiences of my life that let me be the person I am today. I met people that will always be in my heart, even if they are 18,395,76 kilometers away from me. My biggest hobby has always been music. I love to sing and play the guitar. Music allows me to show my real self and my feelings. I decided to write about body shaming because I personally struggle with body image and I always had. I think that this is mainly because of social medias that constantly show us a fake reality. Bodies are constantly edited and so many young girls and boys ask themselves how will they be accepted if they are not good enough. Well, it is a topic that really matters to me because I know how it feels.
