23-year-old Shelley-Marie Summer was an object
mockery in high school as her classmates would
bully her due to her severe eczema, which had
demeaned her confidence on social platform,
even as her skin clears up in subsequent years.
She grew out of her complexity after her
boyfriend Dean, made her realize how beautiful
she was and encouraged her to contest for the
2014 Miss Black Country beauty pageant, which
she won.
According to Shellie-Marie, her victimization
experience started back in her elementary school
but grew worse when she got into high school,
‘In primary school it wasn’t as bad as you’re only
children, but at high school the bullying got
much worse. People would try and get away from
me like I was contagious.

“We had to wear long-sleeved shirts so during
the summer, I was always going to see the
school nurse to put my eczema cream on and
cool down.”
She added that her small stature and laced skin
made her an easy target for bullies.
She has had the last laugh after winning the
beauty pageant at the regional competition as
well as competing in Miss England.
“It was completely mad. I was sitting on a throne
with this big crown on and my family was staring
at me in amazement. I was extremely happy to
have won it,” she said.

“It feels amazing to show the bullies what I could
achieve, despite all their cruelty”.
Shelley-Marie’s victory has not only improved her
self esteem, but it has also given her a new sense
of direction in life as she aims to become a
motivational speaker.
‘In the future I’d like to go into schools and talk
about bullying and self-esteem. I want to urge
victims to speak up and not suffer in silence like I
did,’ she stated.

It's not acne. People with eczema produce skin cells at a higher rate than those without. The skin grows and become crusty and scaly.
