What would motivate people to bully someone with such a terrible condition?
I admire this woman, in spite of her physical appearance caused by a lack of adipose tissue, giving her an unpleasant physical appearance, she is championing the cause of bullying.

This isn't a woman being bullied or picked on because of bad behavior or because she displays herself in an inappropriate manner; she's been bullied and picked on simply because of how she looks, and despite this, she's still trying to make something out of her life, attending college like any other girl her age. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, she's written two books to help her heal. Looks like she has a beautiful soul!

She has been ridiculed, stared at in the street and called 'the world's ugliest woman' by insensitive cyber bullies.

But, after years of misery and self doubt, Lizzie Velasquez says she can finally shrug off the hurtful comments about her looks as 'just words'.

Miss Velasquez, from Austin, Texas, was born without adipose tissue - meaning she has no body fat and, despite eating up to 60 small meals a day, remains at a delicate 4.4stone (58lbs).

I fail to see how picking on this woman would make anyone feel good. How sad that she is a rare survivor of this condition and still has to deal with the "people" problem.

What inspires me about her is that there are so many people who have been dealt a bad hand in life, and they waste away, feeling sorry for themselves, being ugly to others, making a ridiculous mess out of their lives, always circling down the drain in a downward spiral. Then there are people like her who overcome terrible odds and still try to live a normal life WHILE inspiring others. Not blaming others, but trying to educate them. I think a lot of the first type of people simply can't take it.

because she is different. she isnt "normal". the same reason imbeciles bully just about anybody. sad, but it's the way of the bully. especially if the bully is also "not normal", but less so than the victim of their shit.

because of that "freedom of speech" all the imbeciles on here are whining about....

I'm all for that freedom and lots more but with those freedoms comes some social responsibility there's a reason that yelling "fire" in a theater is against the law.

Sometimes people that have been bullied will bully others and sometimes people do it for attention to feel like the big

dog in the crowd or maybe because there click was doing it and they did it also just to fit in there could be a number

of reasons why people bully my sisters bully became her best friend after she apologized and they are still friends to this day


Today I am dirty
I want to be pretty
Tomorrow, I know I'm just dirt

We are the nobodies

Re: What would motivate people to bully someone with such a terrible condition?
Why does anyone bully anyone? It gives them a rush of power or dominance. There is only a couple of ways to stop a bully, either you try to ignore them or you put them in their place. Bullies tend to bully people who they see as weak, either because they dress differently, or have other personal problems or not even problems, just something that makes them different from the majority. Bullies quit picking on me when I stood up for myself, they did not expect it and it scared them, they quit doing it.

Some people are mean, ruthless, unjust, cowards. This is remedied by courage, mercy, justice, and understanding.
The people that ridicule her belittle themselves and prove a definitive degree of in-humanity in themselves while she overcomes her condintion and strengthens her courage and spirit in ways the hecklers will never understand. Its the bullys who always lose in the end.

This woman has amazing parents, too, for helping her grow up to be a "normal," well-adjusted person. Many, many parents of a "different" child think they are helping the child by protecting them from insults or teasing while growing up. In reality, they "weaken" the child and give them a disadvantage in dealing with difficult situations later in life. This girl's parents obviously did not do that. Kudos to them. She is amazing.

Re: What would motivate people to bully someone with such a terrible condition?
In this and similar situations, people are uncomfortable with what they perceive as ugly or deformed. By being belligerent, mocking, or cruel, they hope to drive the unfortunate person away and, therefore not have to see them. They are also ashamed they feel this way and hope, by being vocal, to find others who feel the same way.
I wish I had more time so I could do even less.
