Hi, everyone! It's been so long since I've been on here, but just so much to talk. As you know I'm doing much better, however, the worst as yet to come. Not with me, but my little sister. Now, I am antibully all the way, but my little sister has seem to feel how I feel. It hurtens me to find out how bad she is getting bullied now, at the same elementary school I went. Now, schools why is it that when children get bully all we do is talk to parents and have group discussions, but no real action? Why is that? Well let me tell you that seems to be the only thing that happens. Toledo Public Schools, is a school district that doesn't take real affect on bullying situations and probably won't ever! This school district have so much bullying and no one seems to actually do anything about it. My sister comes home everyday crying, because a few girls bullies her so bad. She isn't happy, she's going through depression, my baby sister isn't the same anymore. All because actions aren't happening. Schools, especially Toledo Public Schools, need to take immediate action with bullying. I hate the fact she's getting bullied bad like me it's a horrible feeling inside, and it won't be tolerated at all! I stand up and will speak out about bullying. It's never okay. I'm back.

Finding You

After being bullied there is always going to be those bad memories and tough scars that might be able to clear up or blend in with your skin, but never go away. Tell yourself that you will be okay and that people can be cruel or caring. At the end of the day they doesn't make you who you are. Your beautiful and colorful in ways you can only imagine, unique as learning about the galaxy. One thing is for sure, that you are as smart as you want to be, funny as you want to be, anything that you want to be. The first step into moving on and making things better is finding who you truly are, have an ego like Kanye West, because his ego is the real MVP! Nobody can make him feel different and you shouldn't let anyone else either. I love all people who aren't mean or treat others bad.

As the end of the school year is approaching I hope that this summer you can enjoy yourself clear your mind and let the negative go. This summer think about yourself and making yourself happy, be around people who are loving, happy, encouraging, and that stay positive. As my school year ends, I will posts a video of my school for 8th grade year and I hope you enjoy it too. :)

Sorry guys for not updating lately, been very busy. I just wanted to let you know about one of my interviews I did a few months ago, check it out! :) http://www.toledofreepress.com/tag/raven-foster/

Catching Up

So lately I haven't been blogging or anything, so I should catch you up on the latest of myself. I've told you my story a few months back and told certain things I felt about other people suition, but not really mine. February 14, I tried to commit suicide. It wasn't the best decision I've made, but from pain, failure, disappointment, hurt, anxiety and a bunch of other feelings it came down to it. The fact that I'm still here I feel very bless and thankful that my life didn't end. I came to this earth to play a role, a role which I have to be a leader for others to help others. Right now I need to focus on myself because I'm not stable for myself or comfortable. Some people might not be so open minded or feel comfortable telling the world their suitions, but I am. For my viewers or followers who follows me for anything, know I am okay and well get better. I'm going to stay that leader for those who look up to a teen like me. As Raven I am not perfect in no type of way, but all I can be is myself or be that great person who people find me as a leader. 

Lately, I've seen a lot of teen suicides or teens ending in the hospital from bullying in my city. I feel responsible and guilty in a way because I am not moving fast enough, to stop it. Enough is enough.  A change will come and will come soon, if there is no one to help, I will be the leader to end it. I might be a small person out of millions of people in this country, but one voice can change many. I hope to be that voice and I will show that I can make a difference.

How do you feel?

Something I want people to understand is bullying is very serious and shouldn't be blown off. People have to understand how bully victims feel. A lot of them feel very lifeless, being bullied takes a piece out of them. That's why many victims commit suicide. They already feel lifeless and they don't see happiness or a future for them so they end it all. Other times they feel losts, confuse, lonely, unhappy. Emotions just run through and ball up inside and they can't talk or explain how they feel so then it eats them up in the inside. Everything someone said or did in them replays in their head and they don't forget, then it literally breaks them down.

He Said She Said!

A lot that goes on in bullying is he said she said. I noticed a lot of that at my school. It really saddens me how people can turn everyone against you from he said she said. A close friend of mine was almost torn apart and we had a lot of drama from he said she said. Also a lot of that is what causes bullying. People start hearing it often so then you won't leave that person alone, but at the same time you don't know if its true or not. My advice to you to avoid it this is what you think, if you didn't hear that person say it out of their own mouth ignore it. Most of the time the person was unaware of the suition and didn't even say those things you heard.

Ryan Halligan Video

Okay so today we talk about Ryan Halligan age 13, here's his story.http://www.ecoronado.com/video/video/show?id=2019736%3AVideo%3A76049

What is a bully and what makes you a bully!

What is a bully and what makes you a bully? A bully is a person who hurts others physically or emotionally. What makes you a bully:if you always pick on others, treat them unfairly, hurt them emotionally or physically. To sum it up do whatever it takes to break them down as a low self-esteem person, and make them feel bad about who they are or not to have any more happiness or hope in themselves.

I might have wrote something similar or something like this but when your trying to tell the truth or be real, are you being a bully about it or helping out. That's what I question about myself. When there is a person who makes me mad or talks about me badly to others, I confront that person. But what I really would like to know for myself if I'm bullying that person. Figured it out, I'm not. When I tell someone something for reasons, I don't go to far nor go below the belt. Now, my friends does that often and in my head I think, wow! It's not even that serious to begin with. Then I feel bad. So for the people who read this ask yourself, are you telling others the truth or being just a bully about it, then ask yourself how can you change it!

For my fellow bloggers, I will be coming out with new material and stories. Sorry for having you wait but, I will start typing up again. :)

Bullying just doesn't happen at school or in your neighborhood it also happens inside your house hold. Which is called abuse. This is by far the worse feeling, to be bullied from you family members. You come to your family for support, help, to feel better but can't because your being hurt by them. A lot of the time people isn't going to say there being bullied or abuse by family because they don't want to see them get in trouble. Think back of Cinderella. She was bullied by her evil step mom and step sisters. She didn't tell anyone she just dealt with it, and didn't get the life she dream or wanted. Then one night she left the house without permission, and did get that life she wanted. All this is saying that you might feel like your doing the wrong thing for telling but you are doing the right thing for yourself. So if something is going on get help from someone immediately.

What happens if your best friend is being bullied? What do you do? How do you handle it?
Well, I would like to hear how you would handle it...email raven.foster1318@gmail.com. Let me hear from a different side then just hearing myself.

Part Six of My Story!
So this girl that didn't like me still wouldn't leave me alone even though she got into trouble. But that's how hood rat girls are. She kept giving me mean looks which I didn't mind at all. Then I heard from my little sister she said she wanted to still fight me to her boyfriend.  But it didn't good worse until her friends started having problems with me. Which they just some followers anyways. One day when my friend and I was walking in the hall way these girls called us "FAKE" out loud so everyone can just laugh at us. The reason why because me and her got into a big argument with each other in the cafeteria in front of the school, but we worked things out. Then later when I was talking to my teacher they said not to me but at loud you, "you talk all that stuff out loud but you don't do nothing about it." Which I was confuse because I mean like I don't even talk about you, so what are you talking about? So when I got into the car and was riding away we stop. These girls had the nerves to come up to the car. They were screaming yelling at us like crazy. I was like "oh my gosh, what they heck." I came back to the school and told the teacher they handled it but that doesn't mean that still hated us. At lunch one of the girls kept trying to get my attention I mean like come on really, she was just trying to pick. It was being ignored though. Two in a half weeks from almost being done with school drama came back up. My friend told me that one of the girl wanted to fight me which I told the adults that so if anything happened the will already know. Then she told me that she didn't even say that. But she now isn't so trustworthy anymore. Now it's getting closer to the end of the school year. The girl who was just mean from the very beginning got beat up yesterday, because she always picking on this one girl. She finally met her match maker. I didn't feel bad she deserved it picking on someone isn't right, especially punching her in the face either. Now were almost done with school. I've told you all the IMPORTANT things that happen to me. I could go on but you get my point that I'm making. Now we have the rest of middle school and high school now I have to see what happens for that.
