MartianPrincess (OP) User ID: 1302027 United States 09/13/2012 06:36 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Occam's Razor, morans! |

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. |

ScreamItLoudMetalNProud User ID: 33421945 United States 01/31/2013 10:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: MartianPrincess 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).

kbrock1 User ID: 25705957 United States 01/31/2013 10:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

Its the bullys who always lose in the end. As for me, all I know is that I know nothing. -Socrates |

I think a lot of the first type of people simply can't take it. 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. |
OCD Chaos Theorist User ID: 29524680 United States 02/01/2013 09:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

The nastiness of people who billy just represent how miserable and insecure their lives are. A true reflection of themselves. It's pathetic and disgusting. "May the road rise up to meet you....
