There was a girl named Brenda who was living in a small African village with her mother.She was very intelligent and beautiful.She was bubbly,nice,chubby and very competetive.Her parents divorced so her mother had to get a job so she got it and they had to move to the city and she was very sad to leave her friends and the people of her village but she had no chose.When they got in the city,Brenda realised it was not so bad because it was beautiful.With all the lights,houses,malls,tar road and beautiful cars and as soon as they got out of the taxi it felt like home already.She was already having so much fun and already feeling positive energy.They got to their new home and they started unboxing things and cleaning up the place.So the next day she had to go to school and things were different.Girls had weaves and make-up and when she was watching them through the window she felt really overwhelmed firstly because she has plated hair,no make-up,she was chubby and she did not have a cell phone but she did not let that get to her and she took her lunchbox.Her mother gave her a pep talk she told her be proud of your culture and where you come from.She felt like it was gonna be a good day so she left with her mother watching her and so proud of her.

She got to school and everything was different from what she knows and people were hugging each other and happy to see each other and she was sad that she had no one to stand with or hug but since she was a bubbly person she did not let that ruin her first day.She got to her class and she was happy that she got a wonderful teacher and sge was having fun but not everyone loved her.There were girls who were looking at her very weird and making jokes and she knew it was because of her weight.So as the school went on she had the same problem of being body shamed about how fat she was.Her mom kept on comforting her but it was not helping so she decided to take action because she was tired of this body shaming thing.She started reading magazines on losing weight.She told herself she will start eating less.She changed her diet and ate only once a day and her mother did not know she was in a new diet.Every morning her mother made her breakfast and gave her lunch but she would give the food to the first dog she met outside this went on for months and she was happy because she started seeing change in her body.She started saving money and bought a weave.She saved again and bought herself make-up.She was so obsessed to be like people from magazines and fit in and it paid of she started making friends but she also started getting sick.Her mother was noticing a sudden change of behavior but when she asked it was the same answer nothing's wrong.She got sicker and sicker everyday.When she looked into the mirror she could see her bones but to her it did not matter at all because she got her dream body finally.One morning she could not wake up because she had a huge headache her mother came in to check but she was not right at all when she got up her nostrils were bleeding and she fainted.


When she woke up she was in hospital and the doctor told her that she had anorexia and she needs to start seeing a therepist.So she started seeing a therapist and things started getting better day by day.She started knowing that you should celebrate and love who you are.That's how Brenda's obsession ended.
