Anyone who has ever felt like a stranger in the world could relate to PC Siqueira

Whether from the front or from behind, many people heard it during childhood and adolescence. From an early age, we feel pressure from family and society to be smart, successful, popular and unshakable. If there is beauty, even better.

This stereotype of perfection hurts you inside. It causes anxiety, fear and frustration. How many achieve such high expectations? Few. Most even try, but fail.

PC Siqueira represented the strange, the different, the anti-system rebel. A stranger in the nest, the ugly duckling. Who has never felt, like him before his fame, alone and excluded, out of place and snubbed?

It was fun to identify with that skinny, cross-eyed boy, with his bodily frailty hidden beneath his tattoos, making the allure of self-deprecation possible and cementing his space in a world that despises anyone who doesn’t fit the unrealistic standard.

Locked in his room (his world), the nerdy boy used YouTube to communicate. He projected himself through charisma. He ended up on MTV, the channel of modern and admired VJs. It has become the possible version of that image dreamed of by every family in relation to any child.

Success on the Internet and on TV has served as justice – or vindication – for the years of discrimination, persecution and contempt in childhood and adolescence, phases from which few of us emerge emotionally unscathed.

Then, off television, she experienced disrespect as cruel as bullying at school: summary cancellation. They pasted the pedophile label on her image. Although a police investigation proved his innocence, he never recovered.

PC had the courage to speak openly on the web about his ailments, such as depression and panic syndrome. You certainly have helped many people seek help to heal the invisible wounds of the soul.

His death, at the age of 37, serves as a warning: we must pay more attention to the silent suffering of those around us, fight hard against virtual harassment and take care of our mental health.

It’s not right to succumb to pressures at work, in romantic relationships, on social media, in life in general. We cannot accept them killing us while they are alive like they did with PC Siqueira.

Warning: if you suffer from emotional distress, with suicidal thoughts, consult a psychiatrist or psychologist. The CVV (Centre for the Enhancement of Life) offers free advice 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by calling 188.
