Now, a lot of you know that I'm really skinny and that I've been this way ever since I was born. In middle school and the beginning of high school I was bullied because of my weight. Mainly every day when I was a freshman, a senior would come up to me and call me an anorexic bitch. Every day someone would ask me if I was anorexic or bulimic. And when I said no they would call me a liar. I am NOT anorexic or bulimic. The bullying went on until the end of 9th grade when the senior that bullied me graduated and I didn't have to deal with seeing her anymore. But I still have to deal with people today who always ask me about my weight.
Now there are a bunch of effects that bullying can lead to. Things such as depression, insecurity, even suicide! What people don't realize is that people do kill themselves because of bullying. People need to understand that. Because of what people say or do to them teenagers go home from school and look themselves in the mirror and feel disgusted. They have scars all over there arms and there legs. They starve themselves to make them look skinnier and prettier. And they kill themselves because they feel like the world would be a better place without them.
If you're reading this and you bully someone at school every day then I don't understand how you can wake up every morning, look yourself in the mirror and feel proud. You treat someone like crap every single day and you don't care. You don't know what the person you're bullying has been through. You don't know their story. You don't know anything about them. But yet you still bully them. I don't get it. I honestly don't. You make fun of someone and call them names and make them cry every day just to make yourself feel proud in front of the whole school? I'm honestly disgusted. Bullying needs to end. Nobody deserves punishment for something that they can't control.
Now if you're reading this and you're being bullied every day at school then read this over and over again until you smile and feel like you're worth it. Darling, you are not made of those words that hurt you. Or that number on that scale. Or the expectations you feel you will never meet. You are made up of nothing more than you. Simple, beautiful, wonderful, unique you. You are a lovely and complex soul. An individually fascinating combination of thoughts, ideas, feelings, and emotions. No one is as beautiful as you. Look past the mirror. Look at your soul. Only then you will see yourself as who you truly are. Beautiful. So smile and don't forget to love yourself. You are worth it.
And if you still feel like you're not worth it after that then listen to this song that I am obsessed with it called You're Worth It by Cimorelli.
