Victoria Beckham has urged her daughter Harper Seven to always be kind after reflecting on her own experiences of being bullied at school. The former Spice Girl, fashion guru and wife of David Beckham shared a poignant post on social media for Anti-Bullying Week, alongside a photograph of herself and Harper, 12.
"This #AntiBullyingWeek, remember to always be the kindest in the classroom. Kisses Harper Seven... I love u so much," she wrote.
Speaking in 2020, Victoria said she was "an awkward teenager" who "didn't have a huge amount of friends" and that looking back, she can recognise that she was bullied at times. The mum-of-four has also raised her daughter to be kind after both she and David Beckham were targets of hate.
The former England football star spoke about the horrific treatment he experienced after the 1998 World Cup in his Netflix documentary. Victoria also revealed her fury at the "bullies" who targeted him after England were eliminated from the tournament, with massive vitriol aimed at him.
"I still want to kill these people," she said.
David himself admitted that the experience "changed his life" and left him feeling "alone". He said in the documentary: ‘What I went through was so extreme. The whole country hated me. Hated me. It changed my life. I felt very vulnerable and alone. Wherever I went I got abuse every single day.’
Victoria's plea to her daughter to always be kind and stand up for those being bullied is a powerful message to pass on. It is a reminder that we all have a part to play in fostering a more kind and inclusive society.
