This is not in any way relevant to anything but my god is she stunningly beautiful.
(I don’t really want to say what I think of the kids who assaulted her. Rather focus on the positive here.)

  It’s a shame she feels she needs the wig, because she’s one of the rare ones who’s got the features to pull off that look. Like an Erté sculpture, almost.

  you are right - it’s not relevant....sometimes it’s better to just think these things, not share them!

A girl in my high school had alopecia and this same thing happened to her. She also decided to just forego the wig and wear big earrings to accentuate her look. I remember hearing an older woman compliment her close-cut hair and seeing how she beamed. I can only imagine how the cruelty and humiliation would have been amplified for her if the internet had been a thing back then. Kids have always been cruel, but it’s almost like social media makes them even more heartless.

The fact that she was comforting another friend shows this young lady is as beautiful on the inside as she is externally. I would love to see Rihanna reach out to Lulu and her mom to include her in the Fenty campaigns, because as everyone is saying, this girl is stunning.
I always feel sorry for the parents of bullied kids, how they are forced to restrain their anger. I don’t even have children and I want to knock the teeth out of the cretin who attacked Lulu.

  I don’t either but this makes my blood boil, so I dread to think what would happen to these little shits if I got anywhere near them.

I won’t bet on much happening to the bullies. Kids are assholes and bullies receive more protection than their victims.

  The perps who did this to this girl appear to be white (based off of the SnapChat video), so you might be right.

  She’s a beauty and could very likely model. I think she should file charges, this is assault and battery she was injured! File a police report, schools never do anything and these little ne’re do wells need to be taught a lesson.

  Thank you. I was looking for a word beyond beautiful to describe her look.
  Regal. That’s the word. She looks regal.

This is what happens when we stopped busting that butt. If this had been the 70s or 80s, parents would have been called to school and butts would have been lit up like a firecracker; not once but twice. One for Mama having to get off work. Two, for doing this to this girl.
Right now, in these times, instead of doing horrendous things to each other, we need to be uplifting each other.
I’m not saying not joke and laugh. We need to laugh to keep from crying. But do not do anything to each other that would lead to humiliation. We need each other. We need to stick together.
Take your power back young lady!

  Well, I might seem like a hypocrite by saying this, considering I mentioned what I would have done to the little shits had I been a student who witnessed this, but still not quite the same thing. I am glad we don’t condone parental violence as an acceptable form of “discipline” anymore–it’s child abuse and we do NOT need a return to those days. Where do you think a number of these kids learn their bullying tactics? Not all of them, but many get it from bad homes with bad parents. Unacceptable.

  With all due respect, the reason that I don’t have kids I can’t pay for or run the streets disrespecting myself and my family with drugs and booze is because my mother whipped my butt growing up.
  I do not advocate child abuse. However, some of these kids need home training. Talking, time out, grounding and taking items from them doesn’t work for some. The only thing that can get the message is a good spanking.
  I am 52 years old. My mom will still slap me stupid for disrespecting her or acting a fool. That goes double for my older brother.
  I don’t know your age which is not my business. But I guess it is a generational thing. I just know that half of what is going on now with kids like this wouldn’t have happened back then. Let us agree to disagree with the handling of this situation.

I feel for this baby, on many levels. Primarily, because she don’t need no stinking wig!!! I’m sure I’m going to offend a few with my next statement: this whole hair culture has gotten way outta control. In every image in media, from Congress women to new anchor women to whatever version of melanated women visible, it must be a requirement to stitch someone else’s hair on their heads in order to be able to viewed as beautiful and accepted?!?! I get fashion. I understand different “fashion moods.” It’s one thing to rock a look on a red carpet or a fashion show or a special event, it’s another thing completely to try for points through the use of someone else’s leavings. All of our icons From Beyonce to Serena, all wearing other people’s hair. I love them all. But, just like men “conking” their hair, this is a trend that should go the way of the Dodo. It has become detrimental to the health and well-being of women of color, this young woman is a case in point. Her actual hair has a condition. Perhaps, her mother was more than likely allowing the wrong professional to treat her condition (or, very likely, was a contributing factor to getting it in the first place). If she had started with a natural approach, that btw she now has to rock with no choice, her hair, more than likely, would be Amara La Negra superb.
Even the Queens of Kemet shaved their heads and wore “wigs” during ceremony only. I have had knock-down drag-outs with my then-16 y.o. daughters about adding pieces to their hair. I was COMPLETELY against it. As I told them, it is offensive to me, their mother and our ancestors and I would not allow it in my home. It is saying (to me) that “I’m trying to accept someone else’s standard instead of BEING the standard” because what they have is “not good enough.” I look at Lupita, Issa Rae, Viola Davis, Amber Rose (overlooking other statements that could be made) and anyone else that chooses to navigate Hollywood by bucking the trend of Malaysian, Indian or Brazilian follicular improvement. Playing a character often times requires it. I get it. Going to a vacation spot and you want to protect your hair with box braids and add some length (and it’s still “ethnic” in nature)? Ok, I get it. Does everyday life require the enhancement? It’s not good for us mentally. The minute we decided that putting someone else’s hair on our heads was a good move going forward, we were no longer winning. Physically it takes a toll as well. It has consequences.
Queen Angela:
It has destroyed her hairline. Naomi Campbell as well. Tyra. Serena. Not to mention the bank accounts of women (and men who assist) attempting to continue this trend. I work amongst middle schoolers. Some of these girls are on the road to permanently damaged hair from the adults in their lives contributing to this. I will never understand it. Yes, be empowered to do what you will, but if it means moving from authenticity, then what good is it? Them Beckies be adding pieces all the time. Let them Beckies do that shit and have that shit.

White people stay trying to violate Black women and our hair. Always trying to touch it and baffled and jealous by how we choose to express ourselves through our hair. Her mother has shown an incredible amount of restraint because I know she was tempted to go right to that school and lay hands on every pissant involved in this. Administration TOO for not acting on this sooner with their bullshit investigations.
I love this young woman for reclaiming her time. She showed them they can’t touch her even when they try. What an incredible teenager she is.
