If you’ve been checking Facebook and Instagram for the last two weeks (who hasn’t?), your news feed has likely been flooded with countless pictures of precious children (most holding creative, bedazzled signs sharing teachers’ names and what grade they’re entering that are the envy of a multitude of Pinterest followers!) heading back to school. I’m sure that there are a bevy of you who have posted your own proud pics of kiddos growing up too fast and refusing to let you walk them into their classroom. I’ve enjoyed seeing every last one!
The back to school frenzy has been so intense this year, that the craze isn’t just for pre-K through high school students. I have one friend from college who has jokingly vocalized his disdain for the fad to the point where he has close to a hundred friends who are now tagging him in their back-to-school posts just to add more play to his notifications tab. He has retaliated by posting his 33rd first day of school and returning the favor–all in good fun. Of course, reality stars are getting into the game because, let’s be honest, they always LOVE a reason to hashtag yet another Instagram photo! Shahs of Sunsets’ Mercedes “MJ” Javid posted her own variation…and called out haters with less than nice comments. #bts, y’all!

Earlier this summer, Bravo announced that Shahs of Sunset will be returning to the network for a fifth season after the first installment of the Season 4 reunion drew an impressive 1.6 million viewers. To celebrate (and jump on the back to school bandwagon), MJ shared the above picture, captioning it, “Quick #bts snap shot of season 5.. A proper dress that fits like it was tailor made for the twins. #Shahs”
While the photo was flooded with compliments, there were a few people lurking on MJ’s social media writing nasty comments. Posting a follow-up to address the negativity, MJ shared a motivational quote which reads, “How To Be Successful: Focus On Your Own Sh*t.”
MJ called on her fans and followers, writing, “Lift people up. Don’t accept hate. Check cyber bullies. Remember that people who are unhappy with themselves are the only one’s who say negative sh*t. People that think they know but they don’t.”
The Shahs star continued, “It’s COMICAL that people write hatred on peoples wall. The same people would never dare act that way in person in line ahead of you at the grocery store. We respect strangers, but we think it’s cool to bash someone b/c they are real on a reality show. We have balls, among other things. Tag someone who [you] think wants to read this. #Shahs #LastDayOfSummer #BackToSchool”
Well, MJ certainly speaks the truth–we are all (myself included!) much more comfortable in spewing insults when we’re hiding behind the anonymity of our computers. It is certainly something I struggle with given the job I do! 🙂
