source: BBC news

summary: The article mentioned that Selena Gomez which she is a famous singer, has recently been criticize about her appearance and has been subject by comments that are disrespectful. The comments to Selena are getting serious also convey to body shaming. Later, she exposed her reason for having a bigger body due to she is under medication to treat ‘lupus’. Most people which are also under treatment for lupus were grateful and start to stand up for themself and support Selena to explain about incurable disease called ‘lupus’. 

Reaction: I was shocked after I read this article and news about what happened to Selena’s life. I think taking care of own health is a right thing to do. In social media these days, comments in way of either complain or criticize about someone’s appearance, sexuality or  personality happens commonly. I think discrimination and body shaming should not happen in anyways, to make our world a better place to live. Sometimes people commented without even thought of what will happen to someone’s feeling after seeing the comments. Everyone have been through completely different situation in life and I believe that everyone have our own reason for being who we are today.

Question: What can we do to encourage people to stop an action of discrimination?
