BBNaija star Alex Unusual recently shared a poignant video on Instagram addressing the sensitive topic of bullying.
Her heartfelt post recounted a distressing experience from her secondary school days and offered a message of kindness and empathy.
In her video, Alex Unusual revealed a traumatic incident from her secondary school years. She described how a fellow student was severely beaten by senior students until she lost consciousness. Alex recounted the emotional and physical toll of carrying her colleague to the clinic, only to collapse herself due to exhaustion. Upon returning to the hostel, she faced punishment from the senior students who felt embarrassed by her actions.
In her message, Alex Unusual emphasized the importance of teaching kindness from an early age. She urged parents to instill values of empathy and compassion in their children to prevent bullying behaviors. Addressing secondary school students about to enter senior classes, she advised them to break the cycle of bullying, rather than perpetuating it.
She also highlighted that some children may have had difficult holidays due to current socio-economic conditions, suggesting that kindness towards such peers is essential.
Alex Unusual concluded her post with a call to action, encouraging followers to share her message with parents, guardians, and educators. Her caption read:
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.’”
