Chloe said: “I have finally completed my first-ever animation – after laboring over 415 drawings!

“The animation shows the effects of bullying, media representations of the idea of perfection, and other forms of abuse such as domestic violence and self-harm which leads to a lack of confidence in your appearance.”

Chloe, 19, is in her third year of studies at Yeovil College having previously been a student at Preston School in Yeovil.

She hopes to continue her studying of animation and illustration at university later this year following her time at Yeovil College.
