Thirteen-year-old Olivia Vella has gone viral on social media after presenting a poem to her peers (requested by her teacher) about not living up to certain standards of beauty and what it's like to be mocked for one's intelligence.
Olivia's mother spoke to Today recently, adding that she was not surprised by her daughter's poem, as Olivia often talks to her about the issues she faces at school.
This schoolgirl is like a prophet. She is just 13 and is so conscious, wise, and in tune. It's no wonder this video has been watched as often as it has.
If you have a teenage daughter, the next time you are with her, please let her watch this brave and inspiring 13-year-old's video. Allow her to drink these words in.
