Labels that Harm

We grew up with them, but we may not always like them.

You know what we're talking about, those characterizing and sometimes embarrassing nicknames we're given growing up.

Gorda, Flaco, Prieta, we could go on, They’re basically adjectives that you end up getting stuck with for the rest of your life; And because they’re said with cariño, no offense is supposed to be taken – at least that’s what we're told.
