You Will Feel Better

I have been bullied before. I was the new girl in my middle school (which was many years ago), and for some reason a girl who I never met before decided she wanted to pick on me. What she and some of my other classmates did was a lot emotional bullying. After dealing with it for several months, I reached my breaking point and told my mom about it.

She encouraged me to talk to my teacher to see how I could resolve this problem, and I’m glad I did. For once, I felt powerful over the people who once thought picking on me was “fun” and counted it as a major victory. Cheesy, I know, but that’s what it felt like for me. So to the people who are dealing with being bullied, you need to stand up for yourself–NEVER stoop down to the bullies’ level. When they tell you “You’re stupid”, “You’ll never be able to do that” or anything that brings down your self-confidence, tell yourself that you are capable of doing anything no matter what they say.

If the bullying gets to a point when you can’t take it anymore, please go to talk to a trusted adult for help. Once when you get the help you need, you’ll feel so much better about yourself.”
