Celebrities Help Prevent Bullying by Sharing Their Stories

Posted on August 29th, 2010 by  |  1 Comment »

Bullying is a hot topic these days, and stories of celebrities who have been bullied are even hotter. Olympic champ Michael Phelps talked about his experiences being bullied his story generated international interest.

Victoria Beckham(aka Posh Spice, one-fifth of hit pop music group The Spice Girls) has talked openly about being bullied in school. Recently she said, “People would push me around, say they were going to beat me up after school, chase me. It was miserable, my whole schooling, miserable. I tried to be friends with people, but I didn’t fit in. So I kept myself to myself.” There is value to these conversations because it shows that even a beautiful, famous and talented celebrity was tormented in school.  If she can be bullied, anyone can.

And even Presidential candidate Barak Obama talked about bullying in his presidential nominee acceptance speech, elevating bullying education to a national platform.

 Why are people fascinated with discovering that celebrities were victims of school bullying?  Is it comforting for bullying victims to know that someone else (and a celebrity, no less!) shared their fate, i.e., misery loves company? Or maybe it’s nice to know that someone successful had been beaten down and yet rose beyond the experience. In other words, maybe bullying victims really can have the last laugh.

Celebrity Diet and Fitness

If all humans were vegetarians, we wouldn’t be having the climate crisis we’re having today. There is very little way to incorporate all of the daily servings of fruits and vegetables within one meal and the body needs more than 20 grams of protein in order to remain healthy and strong. I have tried a lot of diets but  eating a lot of vegetables, not eating chocolate candies, biscuits or cakes and doing a lot of exercise didn’t work for me. Good organic fruit and vegetables don’t come cheap.

If your blood type is “A,” you should follow a strict vegetarian diet. Typically, these diets also include drinking lots of water and eating organic fruit and vegetables to give the body a holiday from trying to break down the food most people eat.

We’ve all heard about drastic weight loss only to be replaced by all the lost weight, and more. No more yo-yo diets and bouncing around.

I realized that I wasn’t living healthfully, and as someone who preaches health and fitness, I felt like a total hypocrite. But don’t listen to me — listen to the people whose livelihoods depend on their looking fabulous. I now attempt to do the detox every month and a half for a couple of days.
