Sameera Reddy remembered her teenage struggles as she shared a throwback picture from the time when she “stammered and was on the heavier side”. She also lamented the hurtful comments that would come her way at the time and added that she wants to teach her kids to be tolerant and accepting of all differences.
Sharing a picture of herself in a shirt, Sameera wrote on Instagram, “Because I had it hard as a teenager who stammered and was on the heavier side, I will teach my kids to be kind and more tolerant and accepting of all differences. Not everyone is the same. It was very hard to go beyond the hurtful comments I would receive and I wish I could tell this young girl that she was more than perfect. But looking back haven’t we created a world of perfection and high standards to live upto? Are we sending our kids into that same space? I’d like to believe we are more mindful, conscious beings who are compassionate #imperfectlyperfect #consciousparenting #throwbackthursday.”
