Bullying

Bullying... As this picture above says, "Cyber Bullying Affects Real Lives" and "Bullying Hurts... inside and out"! Well, it's not lying. Bullying does affect people, but all people react to it differently. Bullying does HURT! When I was in public school as a kid, I never got "bullied" as you could say, punched in the face, or anything like that, I just got picked on, and got name-called. Now, some people might say those things aren't really a big deal, and that I should just move on... But, I'm a very sensitive and emotional person. I don't take things very lightly. I take things certain ways, and can't help it when things upset me. Some things upset me more than others, especially when I'm being called "stupid" or any other kind of mean name of those sorts. But, I have *real* friends and family that convince me not to listen to those kinds of people, and that I'm smart, beautiful, and that I can accomplish *anything* with Christ!


Now, I have noticed other sorts of bullying, and that is..... Cyber bullying. I've seen it a lot, especially on Youtube, facebook, gmail, etc. People put up videos out of confidence and then just get nasty comments. I always want to cry while reading them, because what if those words were said to me? I would feel terrible.... What irks me more than anything is when people anonymously say bad things on their status' bashing people, and using foul language just to get the message across. I don't know that I've ever seen such terrible things being said (On Facebook) when bullying someone. 


No one deserves to get harsh words thrown at them... especially not the people already dealing with something; maybe with family or friends, etc. I know how it feels to get made fun of, and I have to admit, it's not a bowl full of ice cream.. But I've got it better than a lot of kids do. All kids deserve to have a happy high school experience, and the constant drama between people just makes it all the more worse. 


Some kids out there deal with anything you can possibly think of that makes them less confident, and there will always be people that are going to be rude and comment on how "ugly" they are. But the truth is, They have no clue what they are talking about! Everyone is beautiful in their own way.. Everyone goes through a stage of braces, glasses, and acne. Everyone *has* to go through it at some point, and it *will* pass! 


I've seen a quote lately on Facebook, and I really like it... "If you have a problem, Face it! Don't Facebook it!" I can expand on this quote and say, "If you have a problem with someone, talk to them in person, don't talk about it all over the internet!" People can get hurt in so many ways... It kills me to know that people are actually cruel enough to say mean things to a person on the computer... to someone that they may or may not even know, and to make sure that they feel as miserable as possible. Another thing I've heard is that when people are bullies, they are doing it to make themselves feel better. But, that's still not a good way to deal with things! Other people out there have problems, too.. And don't need to get more things put on their shoulders. 


BUT, when there is bullies, you can always find Jesus as a friend! He will be there through every obstacle that you face, and will in time, fix it. He wants us to trust Him with our life! He's got a plan.. We may not like what that plan is, but he has something that will come out of it.. 


Here's some advice for some of you... 
You are BEAUTIFUL, so don't let people get you down! You're too worth it to want to end your life over what people say..... I love you, God Loves You, and You *ARE* important!


I hope I have helped you today(:


Love and God Bless,
