I Was Bullied At School For The Way I Dressed
- 5 years ago
This is Valerie, and she’s a superhero. Not really – she’s no superhero, but she does lead a secret life. During the day, she’s an ordinary schoolgirl, and not the most popular one at that. But in the evening she turns into the gorgeous lifestyle vlogger with thousands of subscribers. She wants to tell you how to punish the haters at school using your double personality in four simple steps.
STEP ONE. Be yourself and let the haters hate. Valerie has never been super-popular at school, because her schoolmates think she’s weird. She’s not unsociable, nor is she a psycho. So, what’s the problem? There’s a very simple reason – for several years she’s been developing her own fashion style, which is a mix of retro styles – from the 1930s to the 1960s. Valerie is very interested in the history of clothing, so she decided to make it her trademark. Obviously, her hairstyles and dresses are ridiculed by all the super-popular girls at her school, who all dress in stylish jeans and tops, and so she quickly became the school outcast. Ironically, she dedicated her lifestyle vlog to the same retro-style, and it’s really popular among the very same school celebrities.
Obviously, Valerie’s channel is anonymous and she never reveals her face – because who would listen to fashion tips from a 16-year-old girl? But this also makes her mysterious, and it adds a lot to her popularity. So, on a daily basis, she hears them first discussing her wonderful hairstyling tips that she made as a blogger, and then they turn to mocking her for her victory rolls. Hilarious!
STEP TWO. Be an example to yourself. Yes, literally, that’s what happened one day and that triggered Valerie’s sweet vendetta. One evening she made a video about makeup in the 1960s – it was about using heavy mascara and bright lipstick. The next day, she arrived at school and heard that the girls had already seen it, and were discussing it in hallway. Her channel was pretty popular, as people knew that came from their town. So all the girls from her school followed her. Valerie passed close to a group of school “celebs” in their dull outfits and they started mocking her. “Hey Val, have you fallen into your beauty case again? What’s with the smokey eyes disaster? Why don’t you watch a bit of – she explains everything so clearly that even you would understand!” Needless to say, she had on the very same makeup she’d been talking about the night before. Thank you, girls. That was an own goal from your side. She knew clearly what to do next, which was...
STEP THREE. Get endorsed by a celebrity. Which, in Valerie’s case, essentially meant “endorsing yourself”. She thought that if she made a video telling the whole world that a certain girl called Valerie from a certain town had a wonderful style, finally the school’s superstars would leave her alone.
