“It was so bad that the school had to take care of my safety,” Cui said.
She added, “I began to suffer from anorexia, depression and anxiety at the same time. I was bullied because I was fat since the age of five, and thus developed anorexia.”
And she continued, “I became eating 300 calories a day, and the bullying definitely exacerbated my anorexia, and my colleagues described me as too skinny.”
