Adwoa Smart, a renowned Ghanaian actress, open up about how teasing and bullying disrupted her academic pursuits.
In a current interview, Adwoa Smart, whose real name is Belinda Naa Ode Oku, obtained extensive recognition for her role in Akan Drama TV series, “Obra.”
However, she revealed that the continuous teasing and ridicule made her lose interest in education.
“I stopped going to school because my mates were laughing at me because of my size… It got so bad that I lost interest in going to school so I dropped out”, she said.
Adwoa Smart’s voice fell with dislike as she blasted school officials for turning a blind eye to her bullying ordeal at the time.
“The teachers didn’t help me at all. They were supposed to protect me, but they didn’t.”
On why she didn’t go to another school, the ‘Obra’ actress said, “It was beyond me…I was very young and couldn’t make decisions on my own…If it were to be now I would’ve continued.”
Despite facing immense challenges, Adwoa Smart has risen above her struggles to become a respected figure in Ghana’s entertainment industry.
Adwoa’s story highlights the devastating impact of bullying on young minds and the importance of creating a supportive and inclusive environment in schools.
