Modern Family's Ariel Winter is often in the news for flaunting her curvaceous figure on social media and internet trolls have targeted her more than once for flashing a bit too much skin.

Instead of ignoring the negativity that's targeted at her, Winter has often chosen to talk about the need for body positivity for a celebrity who had to grow up in the public eye.

"Right after I started developing, I automatically started getting all this hate. I developed these boobs and a butt, and everything changed," the actress told Stylish. "And as I got older, it only seemed to get worse."

"I read a lot of the stories young women will send me about their body positivity and their body journeys, and that really helps me," she said. "There are a lot of young women who are going through the same thing that I went through, and I think it's important that we all empower each other. It makes it easier."

Her co-star Sarah Hyland is now going through a similar situation where there is a constant analysis of her body. But unlike Winter, Hyland has been accused of appearing too thin, and thereby promoting anorexia.

Taking to her Twitter, Hyland too decided to address the issue, by writing she is currently unable to control what her body looks like due to medical reasons. However, she decided to address the issue "because I've been accused of promoting anorexia in, ironically enough, an anti bullying post. And I want young girls to know that that's NOT my intention."
