Iqra Aziz shuts down trolls with strong message against cyberbullying

Pakistani actress Iqra Aziz's personal life is constantly in news these days, from dating actor Yasir Hussain to controversial beach pictures, she has been heavily trolled on social media.

Replying to all the negativity, Iqra posted a long message on Instagram regarding cyberbullying and increasing rate of depression cases in Pakistan due to social media trolling.

“It takes a few words to humiliate someone to the core, few words to fat shame someone, few words to thrust down their throat that they aren’t good enough for the world, few words to spread negativity and insecurities,” she wrote.

She further added, “Social media has so much power of its own and that means you have the power to make someone’s day or make them forcefully admit by bullying them that it wouldn’t make a difference if they weren’t around. 300 million people around the world have depression, according to World Health Organisation- March 21’ 2019. Why make them feel bad, when we have the power to make them feel good?”

It takes a few words to humiliate someone to the core, few words to fat shame someone, few words to thrust down their throat that they aren’t good enough for the world, few words to spread negativity and insecurities. . . . It take a few words to bring a smile on someone’s face, it would take a few words to save someone’s life, it would take a few words to make someone feel beautiful, it would take a few words to spread all the positivity you have. . . These are some of my thoughts after reading all the criticism/negative comments on twitter, instagram and facebook. These are the most used apps, this is social media, it has so much POWER of it’s own and that means you have the power to make someone’s day or make them forcefully admit by bullying them that it wouldn’t make a difference if they weren’t around. 300 million people around the world have depression, according to World Health Organisation- March 21’ 2019 . . Why Make Them Feel Bad, When We Have The Power To Make Them Feel Good⁉️
