Be Who You Want to Be
Posted: 1/7/2014
Lately I've been thinking about my past and I've honestly came to realize I should be thankful that all the stuff that happened actually did happen. Cause with out it I wouldn't be the person I am today and I wouldn't be as strong as I am. I wouldn't be able to help others through things that they are going through like I did if it didn't happen cause I wouldn't know what to say. I am thankful for all the people who helped me get through it by standing by my side and with their love. Honestly I would never have come so far without you guys. Mainly my parents and siblings! I can't stop thinking about those times I let all those kids walk all over me and bully me. Honestly I shouldn't have let it get to me as much as I did. I let it cause me to almost fail school, I let it make me depressed and I never wanted to go to school. I was never happy. Do you think I honestly wanted any of that? No I didn't but it all happened for a reason, and that reason was so I could be a better person and so I can help others get through hard times cause I know what it was like to go through it all. Honestly all of that built me to who I am today and I'm proud to be able to say I was a target of bullying and I overcame it.
Targets of bullying: You may think this is never going to end and that you aren't able to get through it. But I promise you this. When you stand up and speak up it will start to get better. You may think it won't but it does slowly but it will. Don't be scared to stand up for yourself and tell an adult. Don't let the bullies tear you apart it's not worth it. Talk to someone tell them what's going on they will help you I promise. Never let them cause you to do something to your self cause that's not going to help you may think It is but it truly isn't. Talking to someone and venting to someone helps. Just know your not alone their are many others out their fighting to stay strong just like you and trying to get through all the bullying and depression. Just know your not alone take a look around you. There are tons of people who love and care about you and would be willing to help. So don't hide your emotions from people cause that won't do you any good. Your parents are there for you but you just need to speak up and tell them what's going on just vent to them. And one thing you need to know is your stronger then you may think you are you just got to take a moment to realize that. And you are beautiful even if they say you aren't cause the truth is you gorgeous and they are just trying to bring you lower then them cause they want to be at the top above you. don't let them succeed show them that your gonna shine and be above them and won't let them bring you below. That you know your better then they say you are. And don't change for any one. No matter what be who you are and stay that way cause the people who truly like you for you will like the person you are and not want you to change. And the people who are fake and are just playing games are the ones who want to try to change you into someone your not. So don't let them change you! Be who you want to be!!!
