    BODY SHAMING – YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
    (Library Information Services, COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, 2025) Abdur Rahman Nadeem; FA21-BDE-024; LHR TP 9648
    Body shaming is one of the most damaging ways to undermine a person's character. The worst part is that it is carried out in the guise of fun by close friends and family members of the individual's circle. Ranging from slim to fat, people are tall to short, but the most contributing factor is the change of definition throughout the years and the value it holds within society, taken from them. What started as a bad thing was considered wrong socially, religiously, and morally, but over time became common in any friend's circle, losing its true meaning. But the other side would be that the offender is doing it out of fun, consciously or unconsciously, which raises the question of whether they are driven by past experiences or insecurities that manifest in hurtful behavior. Understanding the intention behind body shaming can help address its negative effects on individuals and society as a whole. Which is the way that Imran Ali presents in his articles of effects of body shaming on young adult's mind, similarly the "Self-Discrepancy Theory" by E. Tory Higgins (1987) defines 'Self Discrepancy as the conflict in self-concept between the actual self and the ideal self (APA Dictionary of Psychology, 2020). A play-based story-based game is the result of this thesis.
