Because someone’s always got something to say, but it’s usually pretty dumb.
When a determined runner flipped the script on her hecklers.
After enduring size-based harassment on a run through her South Yorkshire, England town, Lindsey Swift penned her heckler a searing, insightful, and ultimately (perhaps undeservedly) forgiving open letter. "Not that I have to justify my body to you, but I have a goal to run 10k, and I will get there," she says in the post. "Here's hoping that anyone with a goal, fat or thin, isn't put off by this kind of thing. I know I haven't been."
Since then, Swift's post has been shared nearly 30,000 times, and Swift even covered the November 2015 issue of Women's Running Magazine.

When a Victoria's Secret model made it clear she was not here to perpetuate the media's twisted narrative.
When TMZ asked model Magdalena Frackowiak what she was excited about eating after walking in the Victoria's Secret fashion show, she didn't take the bait. “This is stupid," she responded, instead of discussing how she'd been depriving herself as expected. "Ask more smart questions."
Do you need some aloe vera, dude? Because it seems to us like YA'BURNT.

When "Dancing Man" grooved his way into our hearts.
The odyssey of Sean O'Brien, aka Dancing Man, began when his photo (taken while O'Brien was dancing at a concert) was posted with a cruel caption on social site 4chan — but the post backfired when a group of good samaritans decided to organize an enormous dance party in his honor. Since then, O'Brien has attended his bash, which was DJ'ed by Moby and raised $30,000 for charity, and now works with the UK's Anti-Bullying Ambassador program.

When a Pretty Little Liar bravely spoke out about her health.
A person's health is between them and their doctor... unless they decide to inspire hundreds of thousands of fans by going public with their struggles. That's exactly what PLL's Sasha Pieterse did back in June, after receiving hateful comments about her changing figure. As an influence to young people facing their own body image and other health issues, Pieterse's candidness was incredibly inspiring.
"I have been facing a bad hormone imbalance that has thrown my body completely out of whack," Pieterse disclosed in an Instagram post. "We live in such a judgmental society that puts every kind of flaw, including weight gain, in the same category... YOU and YOUR health are what matters, not anyone else's opinions and assumptions of you."
