I’m going to be honest. It was really hard for me to look in the mirror and accept who I was. I know you’ve heard time and time again people saying, “Be proud of who you are. Be yourself.” But you’re probably thinking, “Why am I going to be myself if I’m just going to be made fun of?”

I know the feeling. It made me feel so alone and so vulnerable, like things were never going to get better. I’m sure many of you can relate to that. But listen to this, and let it sink in. You are not alone.

You want to know my little secret to get through the negativity and bullying? I set the bar higher and higher for myself and I make goals and I do whatever I can to reach them and if  that includes being bullied along the way, then you know what? I'll fight that much harder. But take action - don't let these bullies see they're winning, don't let them feel like they have the upper hand...I mean taking action by waking up in the morning and telling yourself: "today's going to be a good day" and be happy. Continue to live your life and set your goals and set the bar higher for yourself to make your life better.

Just a bit about Lizzie,"Lizzie was trying to live a normal life until one day when she was surfing videos on Youtube and saw a video titled as ‘Worlds Ugliest Women’ the moment she opened it she realized the video contained her own picture.the video had a million views and was commented by thousands and thousands which were all negative and mostly advised her to kill her self. Her being voted as World’s Ugliest Women by people “hiding behind their computer screens” broke her heart badly.the girl cried and cried  and later according to her she wanted to sit on computer and answer back each and everyone who had voted her the World’s Ugliest Women without actually knowing her but then the idea hit her that in that case she will be going down to the low level of people that were bullying her sitting behind their computers." -http://mishakhanpk.wordpress.com/
