Hey everyone! So today I wanted to write bout something I know all of you have heard about, and many of you may have experienced it. So, I'm gonna first tell you something; my blog, World of Me, is to share my experiences, thoughts, ideas and lessons with other girls my age who might read it. To be able to show others my crazy, confusing, amazing world. But the blog doesn't jst belong to me, or, I mean come on; it wouldn'tbe a blog. I write so that others can be inspired from "my world", and be able to take part and learn from it. So ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS comment, share, and join in.
On an entirely different note, I wanted to write about bullying. There are bullies all over the place. On the internet, at dance, volleyball, and even school. Not just guys, but girls too, wait around to make fun of us, and put as down in any possible way they can. I'm gonna be straigt out here; it sucks. They're rude,and often extremely hurtful. Even if they aren't that hurtful, but their constant mean comments can just get really irritating, that's a bully. Lots of us have been bullied before, and it really doesn't feel good. It may start to make you think,"what if I am fat?" or "what if I am hairy?" I am not just writing this as a total hypocrite, or to sound like one of those typical teacher advisers that come to talk to you about bullying either. It's happened to me, and I want you to know that you aren't alone. It happens to lots of us. And bullies are ALWAYS just really really insecure about themselves, and don't feel good about who they are, so they prey on you to make themselves feel better. The truth for them is; it only really makes them feel worse, even if they don't realize it. They are also, really, just downright jealous of you. Wishing they could be more like you, so they put you down in order to lift themselves up. Well here's the key:
Don't let them get to you.
They will often make mean, completely untrue comments to put you down because they want to see your hurt reaction. Don't give them that reaction, and let them know that they don't bother you. And I know sometimes it's really hard because sometimes, whether we like it or not, the coments do get to us(even though they're most often completely not true.) So when that happens, and the bully carries on, you need to stand up for yourself. Tell them that you don't like the way they are treating you, tell them that that makes them a bully, no one appreciates it and they need to stop. They may retort with something even worse, so give them no reaction and repeat yourself:"You need to stop. It isn't funny and it's making you look lke a bully." Sand your guard and don't EVER forget:
You are extraordinary, wonderful, and nobody can pull you down just because they're jealous of you.
Also, never be afraid to get an adult involved if you need to, because they can really help, even if you are worried about making things worse, it won't. Stay strong and don't ever forget how awesome you are. Because there will be bullies everywhere throughout your life, and we can't let them bother us. Because who asked their opinion anyway? WHo cares what they think as long as you know you are being the best you; you're perfect. And no one, especially not a bully, can change that.
I will write soon!
