4. Introduction
What do you mean by body shaming?
Body shaming involves humiliating someone by
making inappropriate or negative comments
about their body size or shape. As well as “fat
shaming,” you may also hear negative comments if
you're underweight or in reference to a specific
body part.

6. Types of body shaming

Weight
One of the most common reasons people are body shamed is
because of their weight. Someone might be body-shamed for
being "too big" or "too thin."
Saying anything negative about a person being "fat" is body shaming.
This is also known as "fat-shaming." Fat-shaming comments are
ones like "They'd be pretty if they lost weight," or "I bet they had
to buy an extra plane ticket to fit." Men are often body-shamed
when people refer to them as having a "dad bod."
People in thinner bodies can also be shamed for their weight. Often
called skinny-shaming, it may sound like, "They look like they
never eat" or "They look like they have an eating disorder."

Food
Food-shaming is generally done in relation to body size. For
example, when someone makes a remark about what a
person is or isn't eating, that can count as food-shaming.
Someone saying, "They look like they don't need to be
eating that," is an example of food-shaming.
 You can also food-shame yourself. For example, you might
say, "I'm so fat, I shouldn't eat this piece of cheesecake."

Attractiveness
Known as "pretty-shaming," the bullying or discrimination of people for
being attractive, is something that happens regularly. And even more
than that, people are bullied for being considered unattractive, which
is also known as "lookism." Lookism describes prejudice or
discrimination against people who are considered physically
unattractive or whose physical appearance is believed to fall short of
societal ideas of beauty.
 An example of pretty-shaming is how attractive women are less likely
to be hired for jobs in which they'd have positions of authority And an
example of lookism would be how unattractive people may receive
fewer opportunities.

Cause of body shaming
Our “selfie” culture emphasizes
outward beauty and we’re
constantly bombarded with
images of glamourous celebrities
in magazines, advertisements, TV
shows, and other types of media.

What you see every day on TikTok, Facebook, and
Instagram can understandably make you feel envious
of others or focus your thinking on your physical
appearance and any perceived flaws. You may
struggle to live up to these standards and experience
negative feelings and judgements about yourself. This
can become destructive when it diminishes your self-
worth and body image.
A fixation with how you look can create unrealistic
expectations that are impossible to achieve. Even
when you know that these idealized images are
digitally altered or enhanced, it’s easy to fall into the
trap of unfavorably comparing yourself—or others.

Body shaming
Adolescents are particularly vulnerable to body shaming, weight
shaming, and appearance-based shaming. In the teen years, your
attitudes and beliefs about body image and self-esteem are largely
influenced by your family members, peers, and social media. Mothers
can often be role models for their daughters, for example. If your
mother is continually complaining about her own shape or weight, or
pointing out problems in how you look or eat, it’s bound to have an
impact on how you view yourself.
As you develop during adolescence, it’s normal to be highly sensitive to
comments about body shape, weight, and appearance. Weight-
related bullying during adolescence contributes to negative body
perceptions and preoccupations with specific body parts. Adolescents
who are overweight are particularly vulnerable, and this can often lead
to depression.
You might think that only teenage girls are the victims of body shaming,
but boys can also be affected. They may be particularly concerned
about not being muscular enough in relationship to the popular concept
of masculinity.

Eating disorders
Having a negative body image
is one of the main factors for
developing eating disorders.
Anxiety and
depression
Body shaming can trigger or worsen
existing symptoms of anxiety and
depression. If you are body-shamed in
public or on social media, you may try to
avoid going to school or other situations
where this shaming might occur. You may
withdraw from others and feel isolated and
alone.
Excessive
Exercising
It can lead to persistent fatigue, injuries,
and susceptibility to illness or trigger
anxiety, depression, or irritability.
Physical
Health issues
Fat shaming, in particular, is rampant
in our society as obesity is associated
with being lazy, unattractive, and
lacking willpower to lose weight. In
one study, over 70% of adolescents
reported being bullied about their
weight in the past few years. This can
be harmful to your physical as well as
psychological health.
