Firstly, I'm going to give you a little background story.
Once upon a time, I was bullied - and if I'm honest, I do still get bullied. It was back in Primary School when it all started. When I was about 4 years old, I had my two front two pulled out because they were unhealthy and I soon as I started school I was bullied for it because they hadn't grown back yet. When they finally did grow back, they were crooked. I've been bullied based on my physical appearance for my whole life. Back in Primary School it was because of my teeth, the fact that I have freckles and because I am skinny. My teeth were really bad and I got braces the year I started Grade 7. I then started to get bullied because I had braces - I honestly couldn't win. I was bullied because I was 'ugly' and because I am 'skinny'. In High School I've been bullied because my chest area isn't as big as all the other girls and again because I'm skinny.
The people that bully me made me feel so bad about myself and I used to come home from school, crying. It took me such a long time to finally accept myself for who I am and what I look like before I was able to ignore the bullies.
To all the people who are being bullied, you are beautiful and you are worth it. I know this sounds cheesy and all, but standing in front of your mirror for 5 minutes and reminding yourself that you are beautiful and reminding yourself of the positive things about yourself, really does help. Don't let the bullies phase you, I know it's hard to do that, I've been there. They have obviously been through something in their lives that has made them that way. Just be positive, once you love yourself, nothing can ever knock you down. One of the most important things you need to do is TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT IT. You might feel like they can't help, but trust me; telling them works wonders in the simplest ways. Getting it all off your chest is the best feeling ever, having a cry to someone also helps too. It does get better, I promise!
Don't worry, be happy.
