You couldn't be more wrong on that stand,take the case of army veterans with PTSD for instance,are you saying those men do not have the resolve or enough mental training.
Are you saying people are bipolar or schizophrenic because they lack emotional restraint. These things have to do With the mind,it's a powerful alteration and there is little to nothing you can do about it.it doesn't matter how strong you are.

You are going out of pocket; going through the trauma of active combat is in no way comparable to somebody seeking validation for their appearance from strangers who dont owe them any and then making themselves ill from lack of indulgence.

Bipolar disorder and schizophrenia have nothing to do with it either. This girl needed to be given a good talking therapy, some good books/videos and a hobby to take her mind off these things.

Stop making false equivalences. Children who are growing into adulthood need to be taught that not everybody is going to like or admire them, and thats okay. Refusing to bend the whole world and make it "nice" for children is not the same as condemning the person.

I don't need a psychologist to tell me that your behavioral pattern is what influenced your comment.
You're egoistic and you can't help it,so it's not surprising that you don't understand what this girl went through.

What are you even on about?

All these human beings who read comments without understanding, I sincerely need to learn to ignore yall. Smh

All these Instagram Models..........

TheSourcerer:
and you know this how?

Because she didn't beat sense into her.

beating is training gotcha!

chaii. see how she just wasted beauty with the food that made for elder to relax in the night

QueenSuccubus:


Yeaaaah, she's no different from others who comes here to troll & attacked for LIKES.

Social media is where they feel they truly exist, they become relevant & that is why it has a big impact for the millennials, we can't deny that. This is where most of us our lives evolved.

I wanted to like your post...but on a second thought ain't you wanting the likes to

post=85678314:

So sad and funny at the same time.
What a wasted life!
Beauty without brain.

This remind us of a kid here on Nairaland always bragging about the number of likes he has, even making it his signature on his profile, as if that is what will make his momma proud of him in life!
Kids everywhere!

you must be talking about Seanwillams

Radarada

She was living for others not for herself....... Nonsense and foolishness

WHAT A SAD STORY

Bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and other organic mental illnesses have nothing to do with it either.

Stop making false equivalences. Children who are growing into adulthood need to be taught that not everybody is going to like or admire them, and thats okay.

You just proved my point, you live in a completely different world and you think those parents don't know that, human minds varies MR,do you know the kind of social contacts or relationships she's had or subjected to everyday, an introvert for that matter with no friends and surely a whole load of bullies calling her a weirdo and you telling me she shouldn't find a means to escape her reality.I can't even begin to explain to y'all cos like I said Nigerians don't understand this things at all and we have the government to blame for that.

na selfish and stingy ppl I blame for dis ...after luking person pics ....dey can't afford to give likes out ...sth dat is free ...tortoise ppl

A teenage girl who was addicted to social media ended her life after she failed to get enough “likes” on her photos.

Chloe Davison, 19, was an aspiring model who relied on social media to feel good about herself, according to her older sister Jade.

“She thought she wasn’t good enough unless she was getting loads of likes and comments,” her 20-year-old sister said.

The selfie-loving teen hanged herself in her bedroom moments after she had been active on social media.

After the girl started using social media several year ago, “all she would talk about was how many likes she got,” her mum Clair Reynolds, 44, said.

“She was addicted to apps like Instagram and Snapchat,” said family friend Nick Coombs, 55, who had known Chloe since she was young.

“She would spend hours taking the perfect photo, but would delete it later if it didn’t get popular enough,” Coombs added.

Chloe struggled socially at school and rarely went out with friends, instead staying indoors and taking pictures of herself for social media.

The pretty 19-year-old was often targeted by online trolls who would send her nasty messages and mocked her appearance.

“Chloe was crying many nights because someone had said something horrible about her online,” her older sister Jade Davison told the news.

On Friday night, Chloe’s mum and sister returned home from a bar around 11:30pm, and found the teenager hanging in her bedroom.

Chloe had been taking selfies moments before she killed herself, according to Nick Coombs, 55, who was at the house when the brunette was found dead.

“When we took her body down, her hair and makeup were still perfect,” Coombs said. “She was wearing some new lingerie that she’d been excited to model.”

The girl’s mum, Clair Reynolds, said she blamed social media for what happened. “Social media took over Chloe’s life, whether that be Snapchat or Facebook.”

She added: “Chloe was beautiful, but she didn’t see that. She cared too much about how other people saw her.”

Coombs said that too many people felt they could say whatever they wanted to the attractive teen because it wasn't face-to-face.

“She’d get hundreds of messages each day, mostly men asking her for sexual stuff,” Coombs said. “Sometimes they were nice, but other times they told Chloe they wanted to hurt her.”

Both adults agreed that the girl had low self-esteem and relied on social media for reassurance.

The 19-year-old had thousands of social media followers when she killed herself.

What other kind of validation does this sweetly gorgeous girl need, because of God?

The busybodies wey no dey let us hear word are not half as pretty as this na. Kai. This is terrible.

Kingosytex:
Just because of some useless and worthless instagram likes.

What on earth is she gonna tell her creator?

Some folks on Nairaland can do same, judging by the way some struggle for the first to comment stuff as if their lives revolve around that.

Ndi ara na ata guava!!!!

U sure ur not dat suya guy..

May her soul rest in peace.

When people like these are correct they and those who come to their defense say it's their life that if you get happiness from social media take it.

The phrase it's my life so I should not be corrected is what killed her not social media.

You just proved my point,a person without an ego problem wouldn't take what I said as an attack.

When did I call it an attack?

Wait, you are making me believe you need mentions to feel alive because I have searched for your point and I still cannot find it.

Lol.... He's made so many enemies, I think he's intelligent but he's incredibly judgmental, too partial in views, an extremist

Whoa

He is a sycophant and an unrepentant fanatic. The only thing that sets him aside from Boko Haram is that the former are armed while he himself is not.

What the young lady didn’t know and understand is that beauty comes from inside. U hv to love urself 1st no matter what. The others/haters can go fvck themselves while u work on ur craft or passion whatever that may be..

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

MrBrownJay1:


imagine being the parent of such child.... you raised, cared, worried, cried, had sleepless night and did everything possible to make that child to become a great human being... and then due to something as flimsy as social media "likes", all is gone!

some people dont see the beauty in their lives, unless everyone on social media gives a thumb up.

Exactly; you are making excuses over nothing my friend. Whats wrong with having a "different" mind? Why is it automatically a disease? What do you mean "escape her reality"? So your advice for a teenager is to escape from reality

If she is not well-socialised or has some anxieties then she needs to be given help, that is send her for volunteering with elderly people, orphans, disabled people etc let her see the other side of life. Or since she's interested in fashion and wants to be a model there are dance/catwalk classes she can attend that will improve her confidence.

You dont coddle people's weakness, you give them the tools to be able to overcome them.

Instead of you to tag social anxiety or depression as a reasonable point of reference for her behaviour, you suddenly jumped to extremes like PTSD and schizophrenia just to sound interesting.

We have a bad attitude to mental health in this country but in this case, it has nothing to do with Nigerians; any enlightened person on the planet will explain this to you. Youre the one who is being timid by overcompensating for personal weakness in a bid to look less "Nigerian".

Just like those ones the other day who insulted "Africans" for being afraid of owls, when countries all over the world cant cope with owls! Inferiority complex everywhere smh

Parents should do their utmost to be close to their children so that they can share anything with them

The Kenyan actress in 12 years a slave used to think she was ugly because she was dark skinned. Her mom told her otherwise, probably many times.

She's now a claimed to be one of the most beautiful women in the world.

Dis one wey person go take catch client now...nairaland don cad ham
