And the response from her post has been an overwhelming influx of support and praise from strangers who are sticking up for the 17-year-old. Here are a couple of the comments left on her post:
Lynelle was shocked by the reaction to her post, but it’s given her a lot more confidence.
“After I saw all of the support I got after I posted that message on Facebook, my confidence was boosted more than before,” she told Today. “I’m overwhelmed with the response. I don’t even have words for it. I’m trying to show people to combat negativity with positivity, and I hope people are getting the message.”
I hope so too, Lynelle. Way to take a stand for yourself and all the other beautiful people out there who are being judged by superficial standards. Keep letting that light shine from the inside with your vibrant personality and love for people—because that’s the beauty that people will remember.
