Popular Ghanaian actress, Adwoa Smart, has made a startling revelation about her past, sharing how relentless teasing and bullying forced her to abandon her education.
In a recent interview, Adwoa Smart, whose real name is Belinda Naa Ode Oku, gained widespread recognition for her role in Akan Drama TV series, “Obra.”
However, she disclosed that the constant teasing and mockery 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 dripped with disgust as she condemned 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.
