For the bullied - Much love

Its okay!

You are not alone, almost everyone is bullied, and you'd be surprised to know that a lot of bullies have been bullied themselves in the past. Because of this they may not even realise that they are bullying you.

The most important thing is to hold your head up high, if you have done nothing wrong and they have made something out of nothing, that is not your fault, they are trying to get a reaction from you - don't give them the satisfaction!

Don't retaliate but don't suffer in silence, tell someone you can trust, whether it be a best friend, a family member, or a teacher (although I understand if you don't want to tell a teacher; they always have the worst methods of dealing with bullies *just an opinion*)

People are usually picked on because bullies are jealous, not always but on occasion, bullies have a stereotypical trait of wanting to make people feel small and worthless. You are not worthless. No one is worthless and should never be made to feel anything of the sort. But then again neither should the bully.

You need to know that what ever reason you are bullied for, whether it be your race, sexuality, situation, or simply because the person doesn't like you, it is never a reason for you to be convinced you are anything but who you want to be!

Honestly there is nothing worse than being bullied, especially in the moment. And just like everyone else I've had my fair share and experience with bullies. Truth is I feel sorry for them - my life is clearly more important to them than their own!  Why else are they constantly talking about me, thinking of ways to hurt me?? but;

There's always something you don't know about a bully, so who are you to judge, yes they may have done mean things to you and made you feel like nothing but we have to be the bigger people in situations like these; maturity is the answer!

Maybe even calling a bully 'a bully' is a form of bullying, I'm sure no one wakes up in the morning and says "yes, today I am a bully". Being called a bully isn't a nice thing to hear I presume, so yes, maybe these people are bullies, but again they will have their reasons and although not justified, they will not enjoy the insensitivity of being called bullies!

And as for cyber bullying, this is the worst form; because people are comforted by the fact that there is a screen protecting them from whatever they are doing. They don't see the person they are hurting cry, they don't see the consequences of their actions nor do they probably realise they are doing it! 

You need to remember that "Today you are you and that is truer than true, there is no one alive who is youer than you!" - Dr Seuss 

You are beautiful, who is anyone to say otherwise? 

You are in control of your life and no one should be able to influence you otherwise! 

Stay Strong

Stay Wild

Stay Excellent
