A Teenage Girl Sees The Worst in Herself in The Mirror in Powerful Animated Short MY BODY

I’ve got a powerful animated short film here for you to watch today titled My Body. The story centers around a teenage girl, who starts to imagine the very worst of herself while staring at herself in the mirror. As she stares in the mirror her skin starts to explode with acne, her body starts to go crazy and changes shape, and her hair falls out. But, when she steps away from the mirror, she sees herself as she really is.

A teenage girl is staring at herself in a mirror. She doesn’t like what she sees; fat, skinny, ugly, she looks like a monster. Maybe she should just take a step back and realize she’s not that monstrous.

The struggles of being a teenage girl are all too real. I have been raising teenage daughters and watching this short is a reminder of what I see them going through all the time in how they look. I blame social media.
