I have a great personal life, great sex life, and I think I look great. But when you see someone you care about hurting because of body image issues, you can't help but get upset. Sorry for biting people's heads off, but it's a touchy issue for me right now

That is terrible thing for your niece people are so cruel and nasty
Wish this damn thing called humanity would behave in a humane way.
I was the butt of jokes ( used to get called ethiopian etc because i was a rake) but i dealt with it through humour. But i am quite a strong person. The thing is you cant make people stop bullying but if your niece has body image issues how about building her confidence - not sure if she is big or too skinny but maybe someone to get her healthy and help her with the way she looks if its an issue.
The ideal body image even plays with adult minds believe me .
Get her in with others who are positive people
Good luck and I hope that she is ok above all
