Jasmin Thien lives in Seria, Brunei. She is feisty yet softhearted, impatient yet generous, impulsive yet self-aware, reserved yet friendly, and always ready to make anybody happy.
Jasmin’s blindness makes it hard for her to hide her eating disorder in social situation. Here, she questions why others must draw attention to a situation that is awkward for everybody.
When a teen writer is assigned to interview peers in Brunei who also have disabilities, she uncovers a dysfunction in her country she didn’t expect. This story is part of Teen Voices’ Girl Fuse series, featuring stories by and about girls with disabilities.
