Ariel Winter has hit out at online body shamers and asked them to stop the hate against her.
The 18-year-old actress took to Instagram and challenged her bullies to become more accepting of themselves and others.
"Every time someone bullies me online, it gives me a chance to re-emphasize to my fans, and even myself, how important self-acceptance is.

Winter went on writing, "Stop the hate. Accept all that you are and know your flaws are what make you the PERFECT you. I love my fans and I love my bullies for what they truly NEED is love.
"Take the high road, there is less traffic. XO (sic)," she added.
