People often ask me, 'Who is your role model?' and it sounds a bit cliche, but I've been trying to be my own model.

If your girlfriend is saying, 'Ugh, look at my stretch marks, look at my rolls,' don't say, 'Yeah, I hate my thighs, too.' Say, 'No, you look really cute today - and I feel good, too!'

You don't always need to be this flawless female with amazing skin and done hair. Perfect doesn't exist.

I'm very aware I have very young people following me - 11- and 12-year-olds. I want to do things that are aspirational, so I'm not going to pick a picture that's unattractive - even in the sense of lighting and angles - but I make sure that it's realistic. It is me, and it is my body. I wouldn't put anything out there that isn't real.

I started when I was 13 years old by entering 'Elle Girl''s search for the next supermodel in the U.K. I got to the finals and was signed by Storm.

I'm very much a positive person - I put good energy out there - so I don't feel like anyone would want to do anything nasty to me.

I felt like the sample size was right, and my body was wrong. I basically ended up going into battle with my body, and that's a daily battle every time you look in the mirror. Every time you see an image of a successful model or someone who you look up to who doesn't look like you, you think you're not good enough.

When I joined Instagram, I began sharing my raw photos along with my raw and honest thoughts and feelings.

I always encourage other people to share a story and voices. That is so important.

Invest in brands that make you feel good and that you believe in.
