I am sorry for Trudoau having been obsessed by his “soul of a shrimp.” We often see and hear that many people are dissatisfied many things which they have owned such as their height, their weight, their look, their hair color, skin color, etc. Do people desire too much? What are facts behind those evidences? Discover those evidence behind. It is not a simple dissatisfaction mater. It is about the feelings of obsession they have gotten from their experience of life. These feelings affect who they become later also.
I empathize his obsession. We live in society. We cannot avoid the unfair treatment from the circumstance we are around. Also, you can't change the situation at that period when you don’t have that magical power. Otherwise, you are not big enough to help yourself to deal with all the terrible experiences at that age.
I don't think Trudoau makes too much his problem. People not only learn from book, and also learn from their experience. The early ages’ experience will go with the person's whole life. Even though later things have been changed, the hurts still remain there, in the memory especially at the fragile teenage time. Those terrible experiences may become a nightmare in the person’s life. It also may turn the person to opposite.
I think if parents, teachers, counselors can observe what happen on children from their actions at the beginning to give them help. It will be a great help for both of sides. One is to prevent the kids like Trudoau from having a bad experience at that age. To give them support to make them stronger in mind. The other is to teach the kids like bullies realize the things they have done are not good, unmoral when you build the happy on another's pain. Otherwise, people like Turdoau should learn to leave this kind of shadow behind and overcome it to stand on their feet become a strong person with a positive statue after they grow up.

  1. What a very thoughtful, mature response. You cover a lot of ground here (an idiom that means you have talked about a lot of material!). I think you raise an interesting point in your last paragraph about parents and teachers trying to help out, especially in those fragile teenage years. That is part of the reason I wanted to be a teacher!
