TikTok personality Sheedon has opened up about enduring childhood bullying, verbal abuse, stigma, mockery, and discrimination because of her physical appearance.
According to her, she comes from a family where everyone is tall, but she turned out to be small-statured. “People in our family are very tall. I’m the only small-statured one,” she revealed.
Sheedon explained that her childhood was especially difficult because she was so different from the rest of her family. She became aware of her physical difference at the age of nine, which led to emotional pain and social exclusion.

“I could see everyone was complete during games at school. I was the odd one out. After school, people would mock and bully me. They called me ‘dwarf’, ‘Adwoa Smart’,” she recounted.
“A woman even warned me not to eat with her child because I didn’t deserve to.”
Despite the emotional toll, Sheedon said she refused to succumb to insults and bullying.
“I have confidence in me. I don’t give in to such stuff. I know people will troll me, so I became used to it.”
Her sister, known as Lil Don’t Do, who appeared with her on the Delay Show, described how deeply the mistreatment affects their family. She praised Sheedon’s resilience, insisting that her sister’s courage surpasses her own.
“I feel bad about how people treat her, but you can’t intimidate her. She has more confidence in herself than I do. What the tall can’t do, she does,” she said.
She also admitted to being fiercely protective of Sheedon: “When I’m with her and someone tries to abuse her, I’ll fight for her. Even if you say nothing but look at her in a certain manner, I will confront you.”
Sheedon’s story highlights the importance of self-acceptance and strong support systems in overcoming stigma and discrimination.
