BODIES & SCARS
Deadline: GMT 00:00, 30th October 2018.
Person 1: I’m too shy of my skin, broken tooth and my cataract, I’m not proud of myself.
Person 2: I have big scars on my body, I can’t wear swimsuits. So I avoid going to the pool.
Person 3: I am not loved. I’m disabled. So I masturbate when I need sex.
Person 4: I’m gay and I’m scared to be judged. So I hide behind the skin of a heterosexual boy.
Person 5: I know very well that I am not beautiful. I have terrible acne all over my face. I hate my body.
Person 6: I’m obese. I don’t feel great.
Person 7: My students sometimes think I am their age mates. Often,
people mistake me for a child because of my body. I’m too smallish. I’m
slim and short.
