Look whose around you when things happen. I have a great friend who always has my back but sometimes can go a little to far with it. I understand someone wanting to say something back but is it always worth it? I mean what does it ever do besides start more trouble. Advice to my friend and other friends it' okay to take care and protect your friend from bad things and BULLIES!, but learn and listen to which battle to take because, you don't have to take all of them.

Sometimes people try to be the victim when being bullied but its their fault actually. People need to learn how to shut their mouth sometimes, stop acting all bad, and stop starting stuff. Now that's only for people who actually start stuff for people to bully them. I know people are like that out their because, my older sister was like that and people hated her.

People shouldn't think of you in a different way because your different from others.

Bullying is a really sad way of hurting somebody deeply. On the news I read that a 12 year old girl in the 7th grade killed herself because of people making fun on how she looked on her pictures and called her names on FACEBOOK! The girl took all she could, until...one day she was walking home and kids came up talking about her. As soon as she came home her parents was at work, the little girl hung herself. Which is a bad thing.

Sometimes getting out of bed is like the hardest thing to do. Every now and then I like to stay home or go somewhere else to just clear my mind from everything, to feel like I can just start all over. Away from the negativity, the drama, pain, anger. If I could just really have one day maybe I can figure out how to stop the bullying or at least get away with it, without having to suffer from it.

You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise."

Sometimes don't you ever wonder, how people don't like you but not know how you really are in the inside. Why does it hurt so bad? People look at me like I'm this strong spirit who can't be broken. That's a good thing when I'm out. I don't want to look like a weak punk. But if people knew who I really was in the inside, they would think differently. I am a good person, shy, happy, emotional person and others in the inside. So if people can take the time to know me why can't a bully?
   ~Raven

During bullying time people start cutting their selves. Now, a lot of people will really judge them but can you blame them? Cutting releases pain, anger, hurt. I have a few friends that has done this before. When I hear  people harming their body like this, it hurts me to see their pain. Now, I've done this before, but not to the point it got to bad. But I didn't know any other way to release my pain. Afterwards I started feeling shameful, even people that was family made me feel like this. I had my friends though but I needed more, I needed love, help, and support for how I was feeling. I didn't get that.

There is something I say and its called between a fake person and a hard shell. One thing about bullying is not knowing who your true friends are or who is pretending, just to hurt you. Now, you wouldn't want to have any fake friends that will hurt you. I had a good bff until after I had to leave school she turned on me. She started talking about me and getting real mean to me. But anyways know who your true friends are because you might say the wrong thing to the person, or they might switch your words up and make the problem worse then what it was before.
  ~Raven

Sometimes I can't even go to school without being scared to face my bullies. That's horrible for me because I actually like going to school. School used to be like my second home :) now its just like hell. Now, I have to worry about having to protect myself from getting beat up by the girls. At this point I have no Idea what I'm going to do anymore. I try my hardest to stay out of these girls way, but now I just feel like giving up.
    ~Raven

In my other posts I talked about how people judge by how they look, what they wear, and how they act. In this posts I'm going to talk a little about that. People judge one way by how they dress okay. If they don't have Hollister or some Jordans so they say "oh she's poor." Maybe her parents don't wanna spend their money on things that aren't that important in life. Okay I'm not the perfect person maybe I will do that but not trying to be mean, so I try to hardly do that but I'm human. Or they wear the same thing everyday, maybe they keep growing out of everything and it's hard to keep buying clothes. I think that is like the rudest thing to do, and I strongly dislike it too. One other thing is if you do have to most grown up body nobody wants you. Everybody is built differently some with bigger butts or boobs or bigger curves, they can't help that. Last thing is they judge you by who you hang with. Hang with who you want not by what others think.

                                                              Being Yourself Part 2
When getting older you want to be unique, different, yourself. But there's a time when people stop you from being that person. My friend told me a few days ago that she doesn't act like her complete self because she doesn't want any body talking about her or judging her. Which is very unfair. Why do you have to pick on someone from being different from you? Being different is a good thing. If this world was all the same it would be very boring and not exciting. Be who your are don't let others bring you down, show your true colors and be PROUD OF YOURSELF!

                                                              Being Yourself Part 1
Okay, so what if you didn't want to be that girl that has to be a slutty to be popular? What if you didn't want to were inappropriate clothes and show off a lot of skin for people to hang with you right? What if you didn't want to act like a whore just to have a boyfriend? What if you didn't want to lose your v-card in highschool but, everyone made fun of you for being one? Why do you gotta do things you don't want to do just to have friends or more importantly not to be bullied. Everyday kids hide their true selves just to be like others.
    ~Raven

Their is a difference between play picking and going to far with it. I understand that people might crack little jokes on each other as friends, a lot of people do that. When people are bashing them and putting stuff about them on the internet or spreading it around the school to everyone that's when it starts to become to far. People need to understand the difference of playing around and taking it to far because, there is a BIG DIFFERENCE!

Quote "Im sick and tired of people calling girls and guys mean names about how they look or what they are. You call her a slut well she hasn't had sex yet. You call him a man whore, he has one girlfriend. She's flat chested, but it's not her fault. He worships the devil because he looks Gothic, but he's a good person and helps other he just dresses like that. She thinks she's all that, she just wants to be like everyone else. You call them a B word but they didn't do anything wrong, you just do it to be mean and hurt them. People make fun and call a lot of different things. Is it right though?"

Quote "bullying causes depression,

depression causes suicide,

suicide is killing,

killing is murder, 

bullies are murderers"

Committing suicide Part2: Comitting suicide isn't something you would want to do unless you were going through things like bullying. Bullying isn't something you would want to happen to you. Committing suicide is for people who hurt so much and can't seem to take bullying anymore. They say it is getting worse and worse until the point when they comitt suicide. People say Comitting suicide is stupid and dumb but they don't understand what people are going through at the time. When people comitt suicide, it is because of bullying and bullying needs to stop. If you are being bullied, please don't comitt suicide because its just another life taken just because those bullies don't have a heart. Comitting suicide isn't a good thing for  someone to do but if it to the point when they can't take it anymore.
My opinion on bullying and Comitting suicide is that people shouldn't do any of those things. When you bully, you are making people feel bad and you are hurting their feelings. When you are comitting suicide,you are hurting yourself and your family because  someone hurt your feelings. You shouldn't feel like people hate you, you should feel like you OWN THE ROOM. You should feel like everyone loves and forget all those bullies that are bullying you. Most of the time when a bully bullies you, it's because they are either jealous or they are haters. If you're getting bullied, tell the teacher or someone older than you. Don't let the bullying continue so that it gets to the point where you comitt suicide.

Committing Suicide Part1: One thing people say committing suicide is a coward way out. Okay I get that but put yourself in those shoes. Like for example Amanda Todd. Poor girl made a mistake got bullied till her death. Now think about it, what would you do if you got jumped then was left in a ditch, drunk bleach and people made fun of you and say you should die, and how about being followed threaten and bullied were ever you went to. Now, how much of that could you take? I'm not saying you should commit suicide but just think about if you was in her suition.
    ~Raven

One question people ask is how and what makes you a bully. There's a lot of things that can make a bully for example: the person can have problems at home like abuse or someone doesn't give that person as much love as the need or the have low self esteem and bullies others to make their self feel better. One big thing why people bully is because of jealousy which isn't a very smart thing. Another one is maybe their just naturally like that or been bullied so the became one. There is a lot of ways people become bullied or why they do bully. But at the time all these reasons are still poor and cowardly excuses why to bully. I don't care how much pain your in you still shouldn't bully others. It doesn't matter if you want that person to feel your pain, it's not fair to them and it's not fair to yourself.
    ~Raven

Okay, when adults tell you come to me for help when your in this suition, you feel like you have someone to trust, okay. What happens when you feel like your being blamed for it? What do you do when you feel like your being blame for coming to an adult for help. That happened to me one time. When I was being blame for being bullied I nearly felt like I should die. How could you do that to someone?
   ~Raven

How to get out of depression? It's not easy it's a process, that you can make through. When I was really depressed I always have a diary, that if I can't talk to someone about my feelings I write it down. Then later I go back and read what I wrote. Also being active with other people and not be around you bullies. Try to be by yourself sometimes to be able to think. Make sure your always doing something because sometimes that can help keep your mind out off of things. This might not help everyone but I know for sure this helps me.
    ~Raven

Facebook, facebook , facebook. That's the words I have to say about it. Facebook is suppose to be fun, to play games, talk to your friends, and to take cute pictures. Why does it gotta be drama? Let me ask you a question why does it have to be any drama? Another questions why does it always have to be drama with girls?
   ~Raven

Do you ever feel like why me? why do I have to be the one that has to always be picked even when you don't do anything, well that's me. I can't go to school for one day without being picked on. How would you feel if your on your way home and while you stop people come next to your car laughing and talking smack towards you. You would feel uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.

Now you see what happens with bullying, another teen death out of many of others. How come people can't be who they really are without being bullied for it. He/She shouldn't have to be put out their comfort zone, because of others. Who gives you the rights to make someone feel bad for how they act or what they do, can you tell me that? Bullying goes way to far, and then people wonder how could we have helped, but ED is past tense why couldn't someone have done something that would've prevented this? Now his parents has to live in grief over their son's death.
    ~Raven

Bullying is not a pleasant thing to go through, and if experience you will know why. From little kids to adults bullying is always happening. People would want and would like to know how to stop, but it can't stop. Even though it can't stop we can try in are communities and the world to decrease the bullying. Now, and days people don't try all they have to at least save a life, they don't give it their all to end the bullying. So, how are we suppose to have small amount to no bullying if that happens? You should ask yourself that.
