Blog 4: Bullying.

Okay so this topic is a really serious one because so many people are going through it as of this moment. Bullying is awful; hands down awful. Why would you ever want to make someone feel so poorly of themselves? To make you look cooler? Well here's a news flash- it doesn't make you look cooler at all. Why would you make fun of someone that is different from you? You have your weird/dorky side, too. Why would you want to make fun of someone that is smarter than you? Because you don't apply yourself so you get attention? Stupid. If you're going through bullying, show them you aren't afraid of them and that they don't hurt you. Yeah some things may hurt but show them you're better than them. They are honestly just doing it for attention so why give it to them? Let others laugh because you know that you have friends that like you for you and aren't ashamed of being friends with you. Or confront them. It may take a while to build up that confidence but once you stand up to them, you'll feel much better. If they're mean to you then too, just ignore it. You stood up for yourself and you took a stand. Don't let others control your life. Don't let bullies get you down because you have so much to experience. Odds are they arent going to be super cool in the future. And if things get out of hand, go to a teacher or an adult. They are always willing to help no matter what. You can talk to them about what's bothering you and they can confront the bully for you. That doesn't show you're weak at all, trust me. Keep your heads held high because life's a climb, but the view is great.
