Hey, blogettes! I am here to say that words can hurt people, whether they are through notes, comments left online, texts, or verbally, they can still hurt, so it is important that you chose your words wisely, and think before you say something, because if you don't want to hear it be said to you, or any of your buddies why bother saying it or writing it and sending it or putting it in someone's locker or on their backs? Think about how you would feel and react if you were the person that this was happening to.
If this is happening to someone you know, comfort the person, and tell them that the things aren't true and everything is going to be okay. Tell them what you think of them, and be honest with them because that is what they need at a time where something like this happens. They'll be in emotional shock so they might need you to repeat yourself plenty of times just to get the positives stuck in their heads.
I also find something I enjoy if the day is going rough, and that usually cheers me up. I also enjoy talking to someone about it, and making sure that they are working to ensure that it doesn't happen again, and that I can feel like I belong where I am at, although right now, they are far from reaching that with everyone going out of their way just to avoid me. Another good tip is just to laugh it off and act like nothing in the world is bothering you even though pretty much everything is bothering you. You can't let those people know that they are getting to you, or else they will continue to pick because they found a willing target.
You don't want to be that willing target, you want to be the defender of the willing target. You want to be the one who ends it, not the one who let's it happen, or starts it by reacting to what is going on. I am encouraging all my blogettes to be the solution. Be the good in this world, and show those people that feel unloved, ugly, worthless, fat, and whatever else they have been called true that they are the total opposite. Make them feel like they matter, and that they do belong, and are good enough, and not to change for anyone because god made them that way for a reason, and they need to respect that. They need to know that this is a rough time for everyone but it does get better. They need to know not to change because they need to focus on what really matters which is their future.
Remember this, it's what's on the inside that really counts and matters. You are wanted, needed and totally loved. You matter in this world, and there are people out there who will stand up and help you fight back. People care, and you just have to give things a chance. This is a rough time, but thank god there are people willing enough to help you through it. Stay on the path that you are on and change for no one but yourself as that will make your future brighter. You are bound to find yourself quicker and easier and know that it is really you if you make the changes yourself and let no one lead you into them. You will have to fight for what you believe in at times, but that is okay, because true fighters, and those with confidence in themselves will always come out on top.
I'm going to organize another blue out sometime soon, and I'll post more blue out details as soon as they are planned so be sure to check this blog often or come and hunt me down at school for all the latest information, as we might be syncing the blue out with the bullying seminar as it was dubbed blue out against bullying last year.
Anyways, to sum this post up, I am challenging you blogettes to be the solution, the people who are and do good in this world, and to help those who have been hurt. It doesn't matter if they are boy or girl, or what their age is. If they are having a rough day, go and lift them up and show them that they do matter, and are so much better than what has been said. Be strong, stand up, and use your voice! You could really make a change in this world, and possibly even be saving a life if the person was thinking suicide because it was going on for so long.
