LIZZIE VELASQUEZ


SOMETIMES WORDS CAN HURT MORE THAN ACTIONS...

15 comments:

  1. Hi!
    I just want to say one thing...she is a true hero!
    She has struggled against the world, against the bad comments and the haters and now she is saying 'hello' from the top of the world.
    The real humans are those people that are in the street, fighting with problems and making a better word for us. They are not weird, they are not unwanted persons, they are not freaks, they are differents. And let me tell you that the differences make us beautiful persons.
    We won't be able to spend hours reading at night if a clever guy wouldn't have invented the bulb...and Lizzie is doing something big and in some years we will be so grateful.
    Don't criticize just because they don't wear that kind of trousers, or if they love people of the same gender...hug them!
    Words are stronger than guns...they hurt you more than millions of crystals.
    See you tomorrow, xx.

  3. Hi classmates! How do you do?

    I can happily say that I’ve never been in bullying matters or ever met anyone who had suffered from it. These days, it’s incredible, one way or another, not to be in contact with bully-people, and I hope I’ll be never ever.

    I think this fascinating lady should be followed by all of us, as she’s a great example of overcoming and success! If it were a Nobel award of self-improvement, no doubt, Lizzie would win it over and over again!

    Anyway guys: just being good, charming and hardworking, you’ll respect everybody and achieve all your goals!

    Bye

  4. Hi!!!
    I have to say that I was really impressed with Luzzy, but with everything (her illness, the way she talked, all of the things she has done...)
    When she was talking, I realised that our lives aren't as difficult as we think they are. I mean, for us our problems are so big, but she has shown us that there are people that have to deal with more difficult things than we do.
    She has suffered bullying like a lot of people. But there are one big difference between the way she acted and the way that the mayority of people act. She didn't change anything because she couldn't, so she carry on with the way she was. Usually, most of the people change the way they are to be accepted by the other people, but this isn't good, because you're not acting like you really are.
    With that I want to say, that we all have to learn of her way she lives and start loving the way we are.
    See you

  5. Hello everybody!
    When I saw Lizzie for the first time in the video that we saw in class, a chill went over my entire body, because she was so different from the normal people that you can see every day. In the video she explains how hard her life has been because of her physical appearance, which is like this because she has a very strange syndrome that doesn’t even have a name, and it causes an extremely thinness, in her case her maximum weight has been 30 kilograms; she is also blind on one of hers eyes, so she has had a very difficult life till now.
    In the video she told how, when she was a child, her classmates laughed at her because of her physical appearance, and when she went home she prayed every single day to wake up one day and look like the other people. One day when she arrived home and navigated on the internet, she saw a video of her that was called “The ugliest woman in the world”, and when she saw this, she got a severe depression.
    My opinion about all this is that I don’t know how some people are so cruel with persons like Lizzie, that doesn´t have a normal appearance. This kind of people hasn´t got any heart and they don´t know how, with a simple word, they can “doom” the other person, so much that in some cases it ends in a suicide.
    Lizzie is a very big example of will and courage, because regardless of the bullying and cyberbullying she suffered, she didn’t give up and she continued fighting for life. Now she is proud of being who she is, and also she gives motivational talks in high schools and in other places, showing the world how to fight against the criticism of other people. In my opinion, her life and how she has lived it’s amazing.

  6. Hi classmates, how are you?
    Lizzie Velasquez is a clear example of improvement and how, on many occasions, trying to overcome the adversities that have rewarded.
    Lizzy is a real fighter, has managed to graduate in Communication at the University of Texas, one of the most prestigious in the world, has published 3 books and has become one speaker to convey their strength to the world.
    In my opnion, is a very strong girl and we have to thing that the bullyng is a very powerful weapon and we can hurt to the people.
    I congratulate her on her courage and for being able to fulfill his 4 objectives
    Go ahead and be happy, bye :)).

  7. Hi everybody!
    In my opinion Lizzie is an example of people who believe in themselves and they don't care about what people think about them. I can’t stand people who insult others because of their weight, their appearance, their likes, their nationality or even because of an illness (Which for me is revolting) because first they have to look around them and look for their defects. I think that your personality and your way to behave are more important that if you wear glasses or if you are chubby. If you have an illness and people use that to hurt you, for me, these people aren't worth. It isn’t the same but when a doctor put a cast on me nobody laugh at me because of my arm.
    For me, Lizzie is an example of woman because she has passed bullying and she is surviving to her illness. I wish everybody who is ill were like her. I can’t imagine my life with this strange illness and also bullying, videos laughing at me, nicknames... I think it is such a hell. Everybody should learn from Lizzie, some people need to learn how to live with illness and other people MUST learn how to be humans and respect other people because you don’t know how much damage you produce in one person.
    This is my point of view.
    Bye guys :)

  8. Hello there!

    I don't really know how to talk about this topic without rambling because I like to think my goal in life, what I aim to do for the rest of my life, is to try and make someone happy because I think every single person deserves a nice smile once in a while and I would go for hours talking about how much I hate this.

    For starters, I think this young girl is a living proof of bravery and hard working because she just went with what the world threw at her and she didn't even care one bit about other people at some point because she realized it was not worth it. I wish I was as strong as her, and even if she isn't the most beautiful woman on Earth -but then again, who is?- she knows how to play the cards and how to be happy with being herself.

    I absolutely hate when people make fun of others with just the purpose of hurting someone, like, what is wrong with you? What have they done to you? I never understood how somebody could sleep at night knowing they are making someone's life hell. Everybody has flaws, just because you think you are like the coolest you have the right to make other people feel low about themselves.

    I can believe that we have to see things like this one on the 21st Century. I have witnessed cases of bullying, and it's not beautiful. I had held someone in my arms until they stopped shaking -crying themselves to sleep, I had dried the tears of an innocent soul and I had been left on the floor trying to mend the missing pieces of a broken heart just because a group of reckless, rude kids couldn't keep their mouths shut when they saw something different from what they've been taught.

    Like, what now? Do we have to make fun of someone because they are short, taller, funnier than other person or how is the thing? In terms of society, you are never enough. You can perfectly see someone laughing at other because they are tall and in the next second they are making fun of you because you are short and I just think, do you think you could make up your mind? Because minutes ago you were calling another human being names because he was tall and now because I'm short you are insulting me, what do I have to do to be perfect?
    It doesn't make sense, the society, because no matter what you do you will always be too much or not enough in their eyes, so f*ck them and do whatever YOU want and be WHOEVER you want HOWEVER you want because no matter what they are going to judge so you might as well just enjoy it.

    The other day one of my friends told he was having a walk when someone suddenly came up to him and called him a faggot, who does that anymore? It's unbelievable, and yes, he is gay but what? Did he even know my friend to have the right to call him names like that? Just because he saw the boy liked different things he went up to my friend and started disrespecting him. He didn't do absolutely anything, he wasn't with another boy making out or whatever, he was just chilling and all of sudden that man comes to him and that just leaves me thinking "What is wrong with them? What is this society getting in to?"

    Lizzie Velasquez is actually one of the bravest girls I've seen, and I'm happy for her because she didn't break down although she had a chance of doing so multiple times. I just hope there were more people like her, or more accepting people like their friends and parents. I wish the best to her because she truly deserves it and I hope she accomplishes all of her goals in live -Which I think she will.


    Yasss that's all, I think.
    Bye xx.

  9. Hi friends! How are you?
    Incredible video, isn’t it? From my point of view this is the way you have to deal with problems. Lizzie didn’t give up, she had some goals and she has achieved them making a huge effort.
    With these videos I realize that there are lots of cases similar to Lizzie'z one. Sometimes you don’t think about the other person’s feelings, but what about if you were on his or her situation? It’s true that we don’t usually think about the consequences, but imagine… You can be hurting a person who is strong enough to ignore your comments, but what about if the other person is really sensitive and when he or she arrives at home from school he doesn’t want to talk to his family just because someone is making his heart cry? What would their parents think about that? I mean that when you attack one person you can be destroying a family. This opinion looks very extreme, but I’m sure it isn’t.
    Lizzie’s situation is a good way to open our minds and think about the people around. They are not disturbing you, do you think is necessary to bother them just to feel better than them? An ignorant person would see you as a leader, but be sure you aren’t.
    I think this is a good topic to discuss about…
    See you!

  10. Hi guys! Now I can write this comment after a lot of days
    Well...I think Lizzie is a person who had suffered a lot throughout her life I think she is a breve person because I think people can´t suport that, and she with a little bit of hope could make her wishes come true. All her goals were achieving.
    I think if any of you are in this situation you can't make the effort to make them possible.
    There are heroes but not all of them wear cloak.
    She happened by an awful moment and it was when she found the video in which the title was "the ugliest woman in the world" I think the people who made that hadn´t got any heart because there are bad people but those people were horrible.
    She was, is and will be the bravest person in this world.
    Bye Guys!!!!!!

  12. Hi dear classmates, first of all, Im sorry because I was late :(
    So,I have seen this video too many times, but I am always surprised. Lizzie has lived a lot of bad things, If someone upload a video of me, and I see comments like that,probably, I wasn´t here, It´s a big problem, when you are living, you don´t give the importance that must have.
    It´s incredible how a person can be, the strenght, the courage, and also the actitude that she has now, I think she is a person to admire, to see what you have to be in your life, a role tu follow.
    There is an idea that come to my head sometimes, Are there people ,now, suffering those things? This terrorise me, maybe they are, and they don´t know how to continue or how to escape. I think these people need help.
    Lizzie transmit hapinnes, she is proud of her, for me, she is the best example os motivation and the best form to tell you ''get your own goals'' You can
    Thats all guys, I will motivate you>> Tomorrow is monday :-) Je Je

  14. Hi classmates!
    Firts of all sorry because I was late.
    I have seen the video and the other video that Cristina put in our class and I admirate this girl and her mental strength.She ignored the comments that the people put in the youtube about his video and reflexionated about the mental of the people and the advice they gave to her. She has a strong personality and the comments did not affect her.She overcome all of the problems that she has in her live.Her future plans are great she gets two of the three or four future plans that she had.
    She motivate people with her syndrom , If she do it all of us can do it , can overcome all of the problems.
    All of us had problems but this girl face the problems and she had good results. I think that Lizzie It´s an incredible person and his courage strenght and actitude is to admire it and admire her.
    thanks for reading me.
