#ImWithLizzie Bullying leaves lasting effects but how you deal with it is paramount. Confidence and tuning out ignorance is key!

In times like these where we are living under the covers that we created to survive around the people who believe that hurting others make them stronger you Lizzie had became that beam of light and encouragement to guide us in dark moments when feeling that hope is lost to us and to stand with pride that we are as unique and beautiful as we are....thank you for been part of my role models and inspiration...

Lizzy, I'm so sorry you were bullied. I was a victim of bullying too. It's hateful and hurtful. I was bullied by a boy with teeth that were sooo bucked! I didn't realize then though, that he had NO room to talk!

OMG HI okay so I wanted to tell you a story : I've been wanting to search you up, you have been a TRUE inspiration to me and my whole entire about 600 people in my school, we have watched how you have been bullied and turn into true inspiration to almost everyone. I can't see how people can call you a monster you are beautiful in your own way and NO ONE can change that just know that I am always here for you ❤️❤️ Ps; I would just LOVE to meet you in person or even get your number ❤️❤️

[minecl]

You're beautiful because you have a good heart and are kind, not because of your looks.

Honestly she's not really all that ugly, I think she's normal. but I can see how some people might think she's really different 🤔
