Bullies, bullies everywhere!!!

Hi Readers,

I am sorry readers, I haven't gotten to post in a while. I got kinda caught up in being on summer vacation and OUT OF SCHOOL! Okay, focus.... So you know how I told you before that I have been bullied my entire life? I didn't stop all school year, at one point the girl even threatened my life and was suspended from school. But anyway, I was so excited to get out of school and begin my summer and go to summer camp, my mom pack my lunch, bought me a new swimsuit, sprayed me down with bug spray and sunscreen and what did I find when I got there? A BULLY! I planned to use the summer as my escape from bullying, let's just say it hasn't quite worked out that way. Today is only the third day of camp so I will keep you posted. I promise so much time will not go by until I post again.

THIS IS HORRIBLE!!! Do you see why I said that bullying is dangerous. This girl was a child, just like me. This girl had feelings, just like me. This girl was being bullied, just like me. Her mother complained, just like mine. The school didn't do a whole lot, just like mine. The only difference is I am writing this blog and this girl hanged herself. To those of you being bullied, you cannot let it go this far, please remember that you are better and stronger than this and you do not have to end your life because someone else is unhappy with themselves.

Effects of bullying

Hi Readers,

Being bullied can effect our self-esteem, it can make you sad and depressed, try to live through it. I know how you feel, I have been there, I am still there; but eventually you will get your revenge. My advice would be to tell an adult that you feel comfortable with, an adult that will attempt to do something about it. If they threaten you for telling, ignore them and make sure that an adult knows what is going on. When you react to bullies, it lets them know that what they are doing is hurting you, and it makes them want to keep doing it. It makes them happy. Don't make them happy, they are not making you happy!
