A young lady took to Twitter to share the story of an old lady who constantly tells her she's beautiful. She finally found out the woman's reason for the reaffirming words and she said it left her "shattered". You'll probably feel the same way too after reading this.

Zia says the old woman will constantly say to her, "promise me you believe you're beautiful."

These words from the old lady left Zia confused, but she recently discovered that the old lady's 20-year-old daughter committed suicide after being bullied for her dark skin. As a result, the woman has made it a point of duty to make other young black women feel good about themselves so they don't let the bullies win.

Zia narrated;
"There’s an old lady here who’s been telling me I’m beautiful, everyday religiously. I was so confused but appreciative.
Today I found out that her 20 year old daughter committed suicide after being bullied about her dark complexion. I’m shattered."

People just want to pull others down.
Never allow people's opinion of you to become your reality.

She needs encouragement

the thing is no one can make you feel inferior without your consent sometimes I wonder how people commit suicide cos I tried that shit and I nearly died

One bad derogatory remark can make you have bad days for weeks.

Mum may God console your heart.

commit suicide cos of skin complexion?
omg.


you see all of these we write on everyday pages of NL really make some people who doesn't really know their worth to bask in their everyday thoughtless inferiorities.



we should be mindful of what we say on social media; this is me referring to those two threads on fp,about what you hate on opposite gender physical looks.
that thread really brought some people's self esteem very low.

One thing we all should learn in life is never letting things people think about you pull you down.


BE STRONG AND ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

When People Envy You they Go As Far As Telling You Your New Dress doesnt Look Good On You or Your Hair Cut Is Terrible. All Because Your Looks Beat Theirs...


The Last Time Words Got To Me Was When I was In Secondary School because My Father Was One Of The People Who Used hateful Words but Today I Discovered That None Of Those Words Actually described Me In The Slightest...


I Built My Confidence Years Back, so When People Talk Shiit, I Can Still Keep My Shoulders High and Give Them That Hurtful Dead Silence...

How can you allow one lightskinned somebody bully you into committing suicide just because you have dark skin, black is the emerald of all complexions, beautiful and full of popping melanin, i can become light skinned in months if i want, buy nah I'm not trading my beautiful complexion for anything, black is beautiful and I'm proud of it. Allowing words to get to you will make you have low self esteem and you'll loose your sanity before you know it.

Don't qoute me to disagree please i don't have strenght to argue

don't worry, i'm not quoting you to disagree



this piece right here is beautiful....................,.....,..........,...melanin all the way!!.
