Ello!
Lately I've just kinda been doing NOTHING. Yay...
But today I came across a post on Facebook literally saying "Hey guys am I ugly or pretty?" and it got me to thinking. Really in my mind- everyone is beautiful. It hurts me to know that everyone is self-conscious. Even people that seem really conceited have something they don't like about them.
Being bullied for years, one day I thought to myself "Why is it that they decide to hurt me? I haven't done anything to them." So mid-argument with a girl I disliked, I started crying and took a moment to myself. I passed her a note (we were in Social Studies Class) explaining how I was sorry for saying rude comments back to her, and that really I was somewhat jealous of her. She replied saying that she was sorry for her bullying and that she was jealous of my loyal friends. I asked her why she didn't leave her group of rude friends if she did not approve of what they were doing later on in the conversation and she replied with something i will remember forever. At school, my friends and I were always rumored to be the suicidal/depressed kids and she had always thought that was true. She told me that whenever she was younger she was very attached to her cousin, who always had cuts on her wrist- if you know what I mean. While now... I kind of doubt this statement... But she says she saw her own cousin commit suicide. I do not know if this is completely true but I will believe it.
Knowing this information made me realize there are many reasons why a person can hurt another, and it doesn't always have to be intentional. I have also talked with another one of my childhood bullies who claims he has family issues. I believe he takes out his anger on others, learning from his parents, and his parents are the ones causing his anger.
So if you're dealing with pain caused by others, take the time to think what they might be going through that is causing your pains. And also, if you're being bullied, try talking to them and helping them. It will get better.
I love you.
See you on the flip side Batman.
