Online bullying is experienced by mom Kyla and TikTok sensation “Bella Brave.”

Bella Thomson, a popular TikTok user with millions of followers, isn’t letting cyberbullies control what she posts. She goes by “Bella Brave” instead. She is using negativity as an opportunity for activism, along with her mother Kyla. Bella has motivated people all throughout the world with her positive attitude and tenacity despite having several serious medical issues.

The Thomson family recently experienced cyberbullying as a result of joining a popular TikTok craze. Other well-known TikTokers defended Bella after some viewers reacted poorly to her presence. Even though Kyla normally stays away from online trolls, she thought that this particular instance called for a reaction.

Bella’s long medical history and dwarfism are things that many people are unaware of, so Kyla decided to address some of the criticism. She wants to raise awareness of the difficulties Bella has faced, which include more than a thousand hospital days, multiple operations, and a bowel transplant that saved her life.

Bella’s self-assurance is illustrative; she frequently advises her mother to disregard the critics. While Kyla is pleased of her daughter’s strength, she also understands the need of open communication and taking time off from social media when necessary, as PEOPLE reported.

The Thomsons don’t let the negative get in the way of their devotion to their “Bella Bravelings.” Bella and Kyla continue to produce positive content and advocate for families dealing with medical issues and pediatric organ donation, driven by their support. Their goal is to encourage an online community that is more understanding and upbeat.
