BULLYING

Every single day, I hear about people getting bullied and people committing suicide because of being bullied. It hurts my heart seeing how terrible society has become and we have no one else to blame but ourselves. Bullying, it's just horrible. Being an outcast, disregarded is the most outrageous thing that some teenagers have to go through. 

A few weeks ago, I saw a post on Twitter. A girl was telling another girl that her birth was an accident and she should die and do the world a good. This is not the first time I'm seeing something like this. This has even happened to me and I'm not going to deny, it hurts! I just can't believe it. What has the world turned into? How dare you tell another that them being alive, being born into this world is a mistake? An accident? Who are you to say that? Are you God? NO! Everyone is brought into this world for a reason, a special purpose. They are here to live their life with that special purpose. You have no right to judge anyone. Judging someone does not define who they are, it defines who YOU are. 

It kills seeing the amount of teenagers suffering from depression just cause of bullying. Depression resulting into self-harming cause they feel that no one cares. Who made them feel this way? Society does! Society is just cruel. The world is cold and judgemental. Being judged for everything and anything that you do. It's just really sad to see what people have turned into. How I wish the world could be a better place. Just full of love and ever-green smiles.

I'm often questioned, "Who are you to talk about bullying?" I can talk about bullying only because I've been through being bullied for about 10 years now. Constantly being disregarded, treated like an outcast, insulted, mocked, being put down; it lowers my self confidence and self esteem. Even till today, I'm constantly being bullied. I can never deny, it really hurts. But H.O.P.E = Hold On Pain Ends. I live by this quote, 'All the waters in the ocean could never sink a ship unless it gets in. Likewise, all the pressures, problems and pain in life can never hurt you unless you let them in.' I know that words do cut like knives but we can make a choice and that is to not let it affect us. I'm not saying that it is going to be easy. It take time, strength, faith and hope. But you can do it, just give it a try, I have faith in all of you. If I can do it and push away all the hurtful words being thrown at me, all of you can do it as well. None of the words affect me like they used to. I treat these hurtful words just like a piece of trash; meaningless and worthless. So give yourself a chance. Throw away that piece of rope that you're clinging on and grab onto a ray of hope. 

To all those teenagers out there who are going through bullying, you are NOT alone. There's always someone out that who cares. I CARE! You are never alone. Your imperfections are what makes you perfect. And being just the way you are is awesome. You're awesome. You're beautiful/handsome, you're worth it, you're amazing. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. No one deserves to be treated terribly. Each and everyone of you in this world, are priceless gems and I love all of you just the way you are.

To society, bullying has to stop. It's time for a change. Be one of the kind. Be the change in this world, help make a difference. Each and everyone of you, open up your hearts and open up your minds and listen. Silence is the most powerful cry. Even the most simplest thing, like a comforting hug or a listening ear, can do lots to a pleading heart. The change has to start with yourself before you can change the world. Be one of the kind, change for the better.

BE ONE OF THE KIND!
