Yasmien Kurdi pen down an emotional note for her daughter and condemn against “Bully”

-




The well-known Filipino singer and actress Yasmien Kurdi took to Instagram to voice her strong feelings about the "bully," a cruel habit her classmates engaged in with her cherished daughter Ayesha. The statement that described the incident that the actress' daughter experienced startled many of her followers, who expressed empathy for her daughter in the comment sections beneath the post and story.

Actress Yasmien Kurdi's writing down opened with a detailed account of the incident, revealing that some of her classmates targeted her daughter Ayesha, a twelve-year-old in middle school. Ayesha was prevented from leaving the classroom by a group of seven or nine kids. Ayesha was prohibited from eating and even from using the lavatory, according to Yasmien. Because she is unable to message in the group for the impending Christmas party that her classmates have planned, Ayesha has been harassed by her peers at school.

Yasmien Kurdi said, "In other words, she was ganged up on."

The statement continues to unfurl the traumatic mental experience which Ayesha went through due to Paranoia and anxiety after the harassment (took video of her without her concern). 

“Ayesha is just a kid; she recently turned 12. And she has been enduring this type of bullying since grade 2, alarmingly this has led to the creation of an online “AYESHA HATE CLUB” targeting her. For some reason, some of these students are now in her class”

She blasted the parents of the bullies who questioned her daughter's behavior, calling it ridiculous and further distorting the issue, and the school administration, asking, "Will the school do something about this?She included an illustration in the same story that uses visual rhetoric to discuss "banning the bully."

She ultimately apologized to her daughter emotionally and shared a black-and-white photo of her. "I'm so sorry, Ayesha," she said. I am your mother, so you must endure all of this. I'll be here for you no matter what. I will do everything in my power to keep you safe.
