Siobhan's story sounds a lot like my daughter's. When she was 15, in her helpess rage about her thighs, she CARVED -- yes, with a knife -- the word "FAT" into her thigh. (She has a scar -- the word fat, forever on her thigh. OMG.) The psychological consequence of feeling like you are cursed is bad at any age but at that age, in that way, it's pretty horrible indeed.
