This whole bullying thing has been on my mind since last night. If you follow me on any of my social media sites you will know why. I basically seen a picture of this girl named Lizzie Velasquez who was labeled ugliest girl in the world. This hurt my heart so bad. I dont know how some people can be so mean. She is human and she has feelings just like you do.. I think this kinda hit home for me because when i was younger i was with my brother at the mall and 2 girls walked up to him and said such hurtful things about him. Like "He is ugly" so on and so on. At this time my brother was a baby. My brother was disabled so he may have looked different then others. But who are those to girls to say what is cute and what isnt. Those girls didnt know his story or his life or what he went through. They seen his "shell" and judge him off of his looks. I cant stand when people pick on others who are disabled or who can'y walk or who may have some type of disorder . Everyone is different not 1 person in this world are the same.. Who are you to say what is beautiful or what is ugly. Beauty is only skin deep. True beauty comes from the inside. I will teach my kids that it is okay to be different and not to miss treat anyone that may look different or talk different. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Kids can be so so mean and i will make sure my kids knows that it is okay to be different. I will teach them to treat people the way you want to be treated. There are tons of things that i will teach my kids on the subject of bullying.
Back to my story. This girl Lizzie is my idol. I sat all last night and watched her videos and googled her and basically found stuff out about her. She is such a strong and beautiful person inside and out. I love that she is so positive about things and she doesn't let negative people stop her from achieving her dreams. Her haters are really her motivators.
