Reality TV personality Alex Unusual highlights the value of kindness and the effects of bullying through a personal story.
Alex Unusual shared on her Instagram page a memory from her high school years in which seniors viciously attacked a youngster.
Alex Unusual used her own experience to inform teachers, parents, and guardians on the value of instilling kindness in kids.
She emphasised that kindness starts at home and asked adults to show kids how words have a big influence and may promote happiness, healing, and upliftment.
She said:
“I wrote a letter to you. Send this to a parent, guardian or Teacher. Tag them if you know their handles.
Send it to other platforms. Show them if they are not on this platform or on social media. I’m not the nicest human on earth but I know that kindness goes a long way.
“Kindness starts at home. Let’s teach our children that their words hold power-to heal, to uplift, to make a difference.
When we show them how to stand against bullying and stand up for others, we plant the seeds for a kinder world”
In a different story, Alex Unusual spoke on the traumatic background that shaped her.
During a recent interview with the Unpack podcast, the reality star disclosed how she was subjected to harassment and bullying at school by both family members and peers.
Alex described being spanked for providing her aunt’s pigs with clean water to drink. The reality TV personality claimed she was accused of “intentionally trying to kill the pigs” after spending the holidays with her aunt.
“They had flogged me for giving the pigs clean water instead of dirty water. How in the name of the Lord I am supposed to go and get dirty water to go and give something that is living?” she asked.
“I literally washed all their (pigs) buckets and gave them clean water. Then these pigs refused to drink water all day.
“And next thing they came back and said I was trying to kill the pigs. They were like it was intentional. That I knew what I was doing.”
Alex said during her secondary school days, she was “labelled a thief and perceived to be very stubborn”.
The reality star recounted how she was a victim of mob action after accusations of stealing her colleague’s provisions.
