Ariel Winter Rocks with Her Breast Reduction Scars on SAG Awards

In her 18-years-old, Ariel Winter has already proved to be quite the role model for teens everywhere — but especially for those struggling with body confidence issues.

At the SAG Awards on Saturday, Winter wore a dress that didn't hide scars from her breast reduction surgery. A day after the ceremony, she spoke to fans on Twitter about the choice.

"Guys there is a reason I didn't make an effort to cover up my scars! They are part of me and I'm not ashamed of them at all," the "Modern Family" actress tweeted.

Dressing for red carpet events has always been a challenge for the Winter, who once had a 32F bust size.

She went under the knife in April 2015 in order to relieve the "excruciating" pain.

"I think it will be the only [cosmetic surgery] I'll have done, but I'm extremely happy with the decision I made," she told PEOPLE recently.

"It's important to talk about it because there are young girls suffering like I did, but there shouldn't be a stigma about it."

Last year, in an interview with Glamour, Winter said having size F breasts at 15 made life difficult to navigate.

But the TV star stressed the decision to reduce her size was solely her own.

"I got it for myself. I can't even really put it into words about how amazing it feels to really feel right," the teen said. "This is how I was supposed to be."

And she's proud of it. Winter had no intentions of ever covering her scars, admitting she was puzzled when asked if she'd planned keep it a secret.

"I kind of was confused by that question because to me it was not something to hide. I don't think anyone should have to hide anything in general for fear of being scrutinized."

Nigerian army Claims the Second Rescue of Chibok Girl

A second schoolgirl that was seized in the Nigerian town of Chibok has been found, the army says. But a spokesman for the Chibok girls' parents has cast doubt on the claims, saying that the girl's name is not on the families' list of those missing. An army spokesman said Serah Luka was among a group of 97 women and children rescued by troops in the north-east. Islamist militant group Boko Haram has abducted thousands of other girls in recent years, rights groups estimate. This comes two days after the rescue of the first Chibok girl, Amina Ali Nkeki. The army has previously given misleading statements about the rescue of the Chibok girls - in its initial statement after Ms Nkeki was found, it used a wrong name. In all, 218 girls remain missing after their abduction by the Boko Haram Islamist group from Chibok secondary school in north-eastern Nigeria in 2014. Ms Nkeki told a Chibok community leader that six of the kidnapped girls had died, but...

Obama administration Issues Transgender Access to School Bathrooms

The issue of directing public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity is being discussed by the Obama administration on Friday. A joint letter from the Departments of Education and Justice will go out to schools on Friday with guidelines to ensure that "transgender students enjoy a supportive and nondiscriminatory school environment," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life, which includes a legal standoff between the administration and North Carolina over its controversial House Bill 2. The guidance goes beyond the bathroom issue, touching upon privacy rights, education records and sex-segregated athletics, all but guaranteeing transgender students the right to identify in school as they choose. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on ...

Will Ferrell and His Bird Collectian As "The Birds are for God"

An acclaimed actor and comedic genius like Will Ferrell is incredibly pleased to spend some valued time with his incredibly expensive bird collection, according to his good friend Adam McKay. McKay, who has directed Ferrell in films like "Anchorman" and "Step Brothers," told HuffPost Live on Monday that Ferrell's home is brimming with birds of all kinds, and Ferrell himself is a bit of a bird whisperer. "He has giant cages on his property filled with different tropical birds, and these are the kind of birds that will bite you, that you have to be careful with, but when it's him, they just fly right to his arm," McKay said. "Often times if you're at his house ... he has, like, a cockatiel on his shoulder for long stretches." An affinity for birds isn't exactly surprising, but what will shock you is the enormous monetary value of Ferrell's flock. "He had to have his bird collection insured, and I think it's wor...
