In The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao it describes a boy who once he hit his early adolescence years he was bullied and left aside. “He no longer went anywhere near the girls because at best they ignored him, at worst they shrieked and called him gordo asqueroso!” (Wao 135).

Body shaming is defined as that, when someone shames because of the body type or how that person looks. “The desire to be thin comes from the media’s constant fat shaming and promotion of the idea that thinness equals success.” (Tenreyro) Being a chubby girl is not accepted and is not very appalling to society.

No one should be pushed to gain or lose weight just to fit into what society deems right and or to avoid getting bullied.
