"Modern Family" star Ariel Winter continues to be a body positive inspiration.

After receiving a barrage of hateful comments on an Instagram photo in which she posed with her two young nieces on a boat while wearing a bikini, the 17-year-old shared a message reminding girls that no clothing can suggest they're "asking for it."

"This is for the girls who are constantly bullied whether it be online or at school," she wrote in the caption to an Instagram photo showing the derogatory labels women face at every possible skirt hemline . "You are not asking for anything because of what you are wearing -- you are expressing yourself and don't you ever think you deserve the negativity as the consequence to what you are wearing -- YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL."
