negativity.When asked how she deals with being constantly stared at in the street, Miss Velasquez
says,“I always go up to these people and introduce myself,or give them my card and say,‘Hi,I’m Lizzie--maybe you should stop staring and start learning.’”
Miss Velasquez says when cyber bullies first started attacking her online it was hard. Eventually she realized that the people mocking her online were just cowards hiding behind a computer screen.

or have a norma1 life.”Rita Velasquez has two other daughters,and both of them are of average
