Recounting why she dropped out of school in her early years, she stated she faced bullying from her classmates due to her diminutive nature. Speaking on Channel 1 TV’s entertainment and lifestyle show, UPSIDE DOWN, Adwoa Smart revealed that the constant teasing and ridicule made her lose interest in school.
“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.
She also expressed her disappointment in the school authorities, who failed to intervene and protect her.
“The teachers didn’t help me at all. They were supposed to protect me, but they didn’t.”
On why she couldn’t continue schooling in 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 now, I would’ve continued.”
