Late night depressing post time, Lets go. The subject this time is bullying, and I dont mean just me, or just people I know or whatever, but EVERYONE who has ever been bullied (or is being). Everyone says that bullying is just kids doing what kids do. Or that its how we express ourselves. Were people, we know how to speak and express ourselves. People become bullies because its the only way (usually) they can feel stronger than someone. The old poem about Sticks and Stones that we all recited in Kinder isnt true. Words hurt more than a broken bone. Words can break more than your self esteem in the moment. It can also break your heart, spirit, your will to live. One of the main reasons people commit suicide is because of bullying. You go to your teachers or your principal and they say theyll take care of it, but they never do. It continues on and on, for as long as they can get you. And now with all the advances in computing, people can post pictures of you, record you, even copy your profile and pretend to be you. I was bullied from 4th grade to 9th grade. Will it continue in 10th? Maybe. But the best thing you can do is shrug it off. Dont show how hurt you are, or how mad, or sad, it makes you. Being bullied is what led me to being who i am today. If I had treated those situations differently, I would be different. I would have less depression. Less social anxiety. I would LIKE people. (I hate most people). If youre being bullied, talk to someone you trust and know can do something about it. Principals and teachers usually just shrug it off, saying Theyre just kids being kids, or the tell the other person to stop, which just makes them do it more. If you see someone being bullied, help them. You could save their life. If you havent, you whom is reading this, seen the To This Day Project by Shane Koyczan, you should. Its moving, and points out how bad the problems with bullying are in our society today. I think the bullying rate now, is higher than its ever been before. So, help someone whos being bullied. and ask for help when youre being bullied. It could save a life.
