@icceyflosh Said, “She is the real definition of calmness and home training. Her parents deserve some accolades for raising such an amazing girl.”

 @_Abdussalami reacted, “An amazing girl, she sat there while her peers assault her and she didn’t even defend herself. Nahh, I won’t train any of my child not to defend his/her self.”

@yabaagi reacted, “How could you praise a TIMID child like this? Mr. Man, there is nothing praiseworthy in her character. Would you like to raise a child who would not apply equal force when bullied?. She could have been killed. That’s not calmness, it’s called cowardice.”
