When I was in fifth grade, I was bullied by a group of girls and a few boys in my grade. They would say nice things sarcastically, and I would just brush them off. At home though, every night, I’d cry myself to sleep and I would think that I was ugly and not worth anything. I had to start seeing therapists because of my severe level of depression. I almost committed suicide that year, but having an amazing best friend helped a lot. My friend was super supportive of everything I believed in and wanted to help me to love a happier life. She was super kind and caring at all times. We both have each other, always. She kept me alive, and I am one of her biggest support systems ever. So THANK YOU to all of those loyal friends who are there for each other. For all of you being bullied: Keep being you. The universe has chosen you wisely. The universe chooses ones who can fight and live through the bullying and help others to be bullied, so instead of considering it a weakness, consider it a honor. You have been specially chosen as a responsible, and kind person who can help others. Also, never let the world wipe the smile from your face. You are beautiful and special, no matter what, and remember that the universe has given you a purpose. I believe in each and every one of you!! Keep on being you, and don’t let anyone change that! You are not alone. Always remember that there is always someone in this world who will love you no matter what, and you can always talk to them. Whether it be a best friend, parent, or counselor, they have your back. And if all else fails, all of us who have been bullied love you, even if we have never met you. We care for you and we have that special connection through experience, even if we have never met. I don’t care who you may be and where you may be from, or what you look like, I am here for you and I appreciate and care for you all. Just keep being yourself and know that you don’t need to change yourself, instead, the world should change their perspective. You are all wonderful, and amazing people with bright futures ahead of you. You will get through this. I am living proof that you can. I have faith in all of you. Just stay you and never change. <3<3 😀
