I quit school because of constant bullying - Adwoa Smart

Popular Ghanaian actress Adwoa Smart, known for her role in the Akan Drama TV series "Obra," has opened up about the relentless teasing and bullying that led her to abandon her education.

In a report by graphic.com.gh, Adwoa Smart, real name Belinda Naa Ode Oku, shared that the constant mockery from her classmates due to her size 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 revealed.

Adwoa expressed her frustration with school officials who failed to protect her from the bullying. "The teachers didn’t help me at all. They were supposed to protect me, but they didn’t."

When asked why she didn't transfer to another school, Adwoa explained, "It was beyond me... I was very young and couldn’t make decisions on my own... If it were now, I would’ve continued."

Despite these challenges, Adwoa Smart has overcome her struggles and become a respected figure in Ghana's entertainment industry.

She has performed in several television dramas and stage productions for Obra and has also featured in many films.
