Allow me to share with you a very real problem that I have been dealing with for my entire life. Self-esteem. Confidence. Body image. These issues started to reveal themselves to me at an oddly early age, like when I realized that I was one of the tallest and heaviest boys in my third grade class or when I hit puberty before anyone my age. I don’t have an older brother so I really didn’t have an older guy to whom I could relate. Since I was often ashamed of the way I looked and clearly didn’t feel good about myself, I covered up as best as I could from others. For me, this hiding was a physical battle, and my shirt was my protective armor.
