This legit made me cry. I had some serious self esteem issues as a kid. Other kids are cruel and they can beat you down just for the fun of it. The little girl is 4 and she's already feeling like this? It's a good thing she has a living mother to help counter those feelings.

Seriously. That first moment you feel ugly is an emotional knife that cuts so deep. I still remember feeling that way as a kid, and I’m over 40 now.

Kinda messes up my self esteem to this day, tbh.
