In this video, a woman named Lizzie Velasquez was bullied on youtube and all over the internet. She was born with a disability of not being able to gain much weight. During the time of this cruel cyber bullying, she was a teenager in high school casually scrolling through youtube. Then she spot a video of her child appearance on Maury at age 11 years old describing her illness, This video on youtube got over 1 million views and it was titled the "Ugliest Woman in the World!".
You thought things could get worst that over a 1 million people viewed the video targeting her. She read the comments the viewers was directing towards her appearance saying that she shouldve killed herself...she need to die...etc. We all at a young age especially being a teenager confidence is really important. Teens do not need a person or group of people telling them they are not good enough or they are ugly. They will begin to feel self doubt and low self confidence. This is what happened to Lizzie Velasquez after she seen all the negative comments on that youtube video. No one said one nice thing about her so she turned it in to something optimistic. She created a book that is a documentary about her life called, "A Brave Heart".
