01 August, 2014: Samm Newman has always been a little bit thicker on the sides than most kids. Because of this, she got bullied in school. High school was especially hard on her: her hair would bubble gums stick on it and people would throw things at her. She did disastrous things to herself: cutting, hitting, stabbing. She even though of committing suicide during the last year of her high school. 

Thankfully, she recovered from her depression. She joined self-love communities and that made her feel confident about herself. She even posted a picture on her Instagram account where she was wearing a decent bra and boy shorts with the caption: “I
