Feeling less of oneself is one of the first insecurities of our life. During the teenage years, many people may get insecure about their looks. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s eldest daughter, Katherine Schwarzenegger, went through something similar in her preteen.

When she was a child, Arnold Schwarzenegger was the biggest action star in Hollywood. Moreover, her mother was a famous journalist. Sometimes, the pressure becomes enormous when your parents are celebrities, and you aren’t as perfect as they are for the world. Katherine wrote her first book in 2009, inspired by her personal experiences and growth from all those struggles.

In her book, she reveals how she opened up for the first time about her struggles with her mother. Moreover, she tells young people that it is a phase, not the whole life. She wrote, “‘I hate myself!’ I cried to my mother. “I’m fat, I’m ugly, I’m stupid, and I feel totally disgusting!” I was only ten years old and in fourth grade, and already suffering, but this was the first time I could recall revealing my worries about my appearance to anyone. …”

She continued, “I consider fourth grade to be one of my “chubby” years as a kid. I felt overweight, and looking back at old pictures of myself, I can honestly say I wasn’t fat, but I certainly felt that way.”

Katherine felt the same way as most teenagers do while growing up. That’s something not unusual. It’s just that it feels like that at that time.
