I will not say I have always been innocent of teasing someone. I did that once, I think I may have done it for a week, but when my mother found out she gave me a long hard talking to, and allowed me to see I was doing to someone else that was exactly what was being done to me. It hurt, I cried, I felt like the scum of the earth.
Why is it that bullies come out looking "cool”, and the bullied come out looking like losers? If you ask me, the bullies are the scum of the earth.
I hope if you were ever bullied you support those who are bullied, and try your best to let them see, that the bright light at the end of all the hurt... is that they WILL come out a better person in the end, because they will become the better person for not becoming a bully themselves. That is the only thing I am thankful for, is that I turned out pretty freaking awesome I think, and unfortunately that has a lot to do with how badly I was treated through Elementary school to my last days of High school.
As for those who bully people... I hope you're able to find your real self behind that dark ugly mask you wear, because no one wants to be a bully if you really sit and think about it. Why would you want to make someone else feel like they are worth nothing? You should be focusing your effort on making others feel worthy of being. We are all entitled to live on this planet, so the fact that one person alone can make you feel like you are worth no more than a small grain of dust, is disgusting.
I am sooooooo sick of people who are like, "oh kids do this" or "oh I did that, it's okay", wtf. No it's not. If you know someone who is being bullied, help them get the help they need so they do not feel they need to take the cowards’ way out, whatever that may be.
If you know someone who IS bullying, you really should slap them hard across the face and show them every fucking documentary out there that resolves around the results of people who are bullied.
It's easier to deal with ridicule when you're an adult, you usually have a level head, and should be able to see what a fucking scum bag the bully is, but as a young kid, or a teenager, or even a young adult... you may not see this right away, because not only is your mind still developing, but you're still trying to find yourself and realize your worth on this planet. And let's not forget all the mess of hormones you're dealing with.
I have a friend whose child is bullied nearly every day of their life, and I feel so angry with the school and the city they are in for allowing such a thing to happen. Everyone is turning a blind eye to it, and acting like their hands are tied. The child is going to be emotionally bruised for the rest of their life, and I just hope that his life is a long one.
It was hard to put a complete end to the bullying I went through, because many of the ones who were bullying me, had parents very involved with the school, and oh, you know how that goes right? Their kids can do no wrong -- they do, and usually get away with it.
****
If you've read this far, great. Go out and hug someone, or you know what... just smile. A smile goes a long, long way. And please for God's sake, and the sake of the future of this planet, and the beings that live on it, DO NOT raise your child to become a bully. Do not act like any sort of bullying is just a phase, and we should turn a blind eye to it.
The longer we as a society ignore the problem, the more kids will be killing kids, the more kids will be killing themselves. Unknown"~♥~ Autumn~♥"Sparkling

Anti-Bullying Day, is there such a day??? If there is, or ever was, I never heard anything about it until this year. If there is such a day, then awesome.
If there isn't, then there most certainly should be a day upon which we mourn and remember those who have been treated like shit, and have either died or are living a painful life as a result of bullying.
I am not just talking about physical bullying either. Emotional bullying is far more harmful than being punched, kicked, etc. Spoken words leave an imprint on our subconscious and it stays with us for years.... whereas, when it comes to physical bullying, cuts and bruises heal. The emotional impact of bullying never really does, not completely.
I watched a pretty intense episode of Degrassi Jr High today; it should have been aired AFTER school hours so that bullies and potential bullies and all those other children and adults would see it.
It was about this kid who was bullied so badly that he took the cowards’ way out and shot, and nearly killed someone, before killing himself. This kind of bullshit happens every day in every part of the world where bullying is present.
I'm on the fence when it comes to the Columbine thing and other media exposed school shootings, because yes it's quite possible that if someone can end another's life that they are fucked up, but... were they always?
For me. I thank God every day for allowing me not to take any cowards’ way out from the bullying that I went through for YEARS. But I would be a liar to say that I had not once thought of killing someone who had hurt me so badly. The difference is I valued life waaaay too much, even the lives of those assholes that made my life feel like shit.
What is sickening? I remember the complete names and faces of all the persons who treated me like shit over the years, and they are far more familiar to me than those friends I had made. Why? I am not 100% sure why... perhaps because many of them were, or so I thought, friends at one point.
Nothing hurts more when it comes to the bully being a former friend... It's shocking, it's heart wrenching, it absofuckinglutely sucks. I have lost many a friend because they became part of the "in" crowd, and by keeping their place in that crowd they had to treat me and other "outsiders" like shit.
What makes you an outsider? For me it was hanging out with everyone... follow stereotypes or don't, that is up to you. I personally have grown a great deal, and even though I say I am "Goth" at heart, I do not believe that it has anything to do with the stereotypes. I dressed and looked the way I did because that is who I was, and who I am. Yes I have changed a great deal on the outside, but not on the inside. Looks mean nothing, they are something that withers away with time, but the soul, the inner essence within is what lasts.
I never dressed the way I did for anyone, though morons... even some of my family and friends would tell you I did because so and so did, etc. Well they're naive and they are uneducated on how my mind works. They're welcome to think what they like, but it's bullshit. I STOPPED dressing the way I want and expressing myself the way I did because....... I could not face the negative attention I was getting. I'm not sure I even liked some of the positive attention. I never really fancy attention based on how I look. Sure sometimes I look for reassurance that I do not look like crap, but that doesn't mean I want you to focus your eyes on me all freaking day long, or your glares for that matter.
Some people think I am paranoid, but truth is... after years of ridicule from my pupils, I know when someone is looking at me, and when someone is LOOKING at me. The latter being the worst, because behind their eyes you see disgust, and it hurts. Unknown"~♥~ Autumn~♥"Sparkling

After God created Adam and Eve.
Adam asked, "Why did you make her so beautiful?"
"So you would love her, " God replied.
** Eve smiled with enchantment in her eyes **
Adam was indeed enchanted by her, but he wondered, "Why did you make her so stupid?"
** Eve lunged at Adam and embraced him **
God chuckled, and said "So she would love you."

I strongly believe that the most phenomenal musician alive today, is GACKT.
Why should YOU appreciate him??
He writes and plays his own music. He sings and writes his own lyrics, He puts on one of the most energized performances out there!!!!
Why do *I* appreciate him??
Besides the fact that he is hot as hell!!! He has the voice that makes me swoon, The look that makes me weak in the knees, Songs that inspire me more than any other musician.
He is sooooooo freaking talented, and such an awesome performer, who puts his all into EVERY performance, even into his videos!!! And every one of his side projects and promotional things he has done.
Are my words not convincing enough for you??
Then hear and listen for yourself!!!
Compilation of his "Sixth Day and Seventh Night" Tour.
Here's fan's video of about 31 of his songs.... where you see his vocal and instrumental talents (ignore the "too sexy" song that plays over one of his performances, lol).
Anyone who doesn't see his phenomenal talent, needs to clean the wax out of their ears, and rub the sleep out of their eyes! ;)
