Shishkova suffered from being judged for being thin since childhood: “They said: ‘Do your parents not feed you at all?’”

Recently, Alena Shishkova revealed that she had been struggling with anorexia for many years. Indeed, she has been criticized for being too thin for many years. The model’s mother shared that her daughter has encountered similar comments since childhood. 

Shishkova suffered from being judged for being thin since childhood: “They said: ‘Do your parents not feed you at all?’” Shishkova could not bear the massive hate on the Internet, which only aggravated the situation. “Beauty and health attract, delight, and when suddenly something is wrong, it immediately begins: go eat, your legs are like matchsticks, your arms are thin, you injected fillers, you have ball cheekbones and in general, how could you screw up such a beautiful appearance?! After my appearances on the TV shows “Heirs and Impostors”, “Stars in Africa”, mass criticism poured in, it was in all media. Endless “before/after” photos were circulating on public pages and Telegram channels,” she wrote.

Alena’s mother spoke about the time when she was very little. Once upon a time, the girl did not worry about the opinions of others.

“When Alena was two years old, my sister (an experienced and talented teacher) strongly advised me to send my daughter to kindergarten. Arguments: the child needs to socialize, and not sit with his grandmother. And the sooner he goes, the sooner he will get over everything that a child needs to get sick with, and he will be ready for school with good immunity. We obeyed and did not regret it. Of course, there were many problems with sores. But they all made it to school. And, it seems to me, these were the best years of our daughter’s early childhood,” Nadezhda recalls.

However, soon everything changed, and even strangers began to condemn Alena for allegedly not eating enough. “She fell in love with kindergarten from day one. The best incentive was the words: “If you behave badly, then you won’t go to kindergarten tomorrow!” At matinees, my daughter sang, danced, participated in all competitions and competitions and did not know what bullying by peers was, the inferiority complexes that were imposed “ kind “aunts in shops and clinics. “Don’t your parents feed you at all?” or “We have nothing for such skinny people,” they said. At the age of six we said goodbye to our beloved kindergarten and school life began,” the woman added.

Now Shishkova’s mother regrets that she did not let her daughter be a carefree child longer. “Maybe I should have waited until seven. Then in the class she would not be the youngest and most defenseless, but older and more confident. But in the kindergarten they told us: “Why leave her in the preparatory group again?” She is completely ready for school." And we agreed,” she concluded.
