What This Young Lady Did To Protest Against Bodyshaming Will Teach You A Thing Or Two About Bravery

16 year old Lulu has a scalp condition that causes severe dryness and hair breakage and loss, and had been so ashamed of her appearance that she had taken to wearing wigs in an effort to still feel beautiful but this mindset changed after a mind blowing experience.

We all know how easy it is to feel insecure at age 16 especially when you think you have something that diminishes your beauty. On the 28th of January, some boys at Lulu’s school had taken a $5 BET about pulling her wig off in front of everyone.

These kids not only tore her wig off in the middle of school, but video taped it. They followed her to the bathroom as she screamed and cried and proceeded to tape her over the stall as she cried and begged for her wig.

In a surprising show of bravery however, instead of Lulu to be depressed and try to get a new wig as fast as possible, she decided to shave her hair off and not let these bullies win. She did not want to feel controlled by her hair any longer, and so she took back her control.

Her mother, Myckelle shared the amazing story of her daughter on her Instagram page.

We have her mum’s Instagram post below

Yesterday I received a call from my youngest daughter screaming and crying on the phone, for me to come and get her from school. Apparently, some boys had taken a $5 BET about pulling her wig off in front of everyone. Lulu has a scalp condition that causes severe dryness and hair breakage and loss, and had been so ashamed of her appearance that she had taken to wearing wigs in an effort to still feel beautiful. We all know how easy it is to feel insecure at age 16. These kids not only tore her wig off in the middle of school, but video taped it. They followed her to the bathroom as she screamed and cried and proceeded to tape her OVER the stall as she cried and begged for her wig. Later I had to take her to the hospital for abrasions and whiplash. Lulu later decided to shave her hair off and not let these bullies win. She was not wanting to feel controlled by her hair any longer, and take back her control. I am only posting this with her permission but yesterday our entire family was angered and in tears about the way she was treated. The teen suicide rate has now DOUBLED and bullying has played a HUGE Role. If you have a teen in this situation, continue to uplift them and let them know that they are strong and beautiful and can own thier insecurities and take control rather than being controlled. I admire the strength and beauty of my little Lulu and know that she will inspire many others even through this difficult time in her life. #SayNoToShaming2018 Please share if you have a teen who needs to know they are beautiful no matter what! Bullies will not win in 2018
