Bullies

Hellooooo

So as may notice by the title this post is about bullies. I not going to give it a witty,clever title because, well it doesn't deserve a good title. I, personally have never been bullied properly in my life but I have been downgraded by people before so I'm sorry if you think I shouldn't post about this because 'I don't know what it is like' but some of my friends do and they have given me an insight into what goes through their minds. 

Firstly let's just get one thing straight, bullies... you are not cool, clever or funny for picking on a minority, you are selfish, evil and loathsome people that deserve to be punished. It's bullies that drive people to do awful things such as self harm or even feel that they'd rather die than be who they are. This is sick and wrong, that you should have so much power and influence in their life that they feel that they have to change themselves. Because they're different from you, have different tastes, look different, learn different, love different, live different. No one should be bullied because no one genuinely deserves to be bullied because of who they are. So what if they have a bad family, like the opposite sex, look a certain way that gives you no right to pick them out and target them, because last time I checked no one is perfect and if someone targeted you because of your insecurities or your lifestyle choices you wouldn't be nearly as cocky or as mean as you are now. Consider that bullies, what would you do if someone said that to you?

When I was younger (year 7- year 9) there was this one person (who I will obviously not name) who would pick on me. She was older than me and hated me for some bizarre reason and me being me I didn't defend myself, because I can't. I'm quite a weak person. This may have something to do with the fact I never grew up having to defend myself but still she made me think" why does she hate me?" "What have I done?" And I can bet you a lot of bullying victims feel the same way. Let me tell you right now. You don't deserve to be pushed around by someone, you are not alone, they're ARE people who will help, who will understand, who will know what you're going through. Never think you're alone because you're not. 

Bullying needs to be tackled in schools, if you see someone, even if you think it might just be a joke being bullied. TELL SOMEONE. Because I can guarantee the victim won't want to report it so it's up to brave souls to help those who can't help themselves, to make sure they are not alone.

If anyone is reading this I hope this helps or encourages you to help someone
