I have been thinking about what to write for a while now, and nothing has come to mind that has not already been written by almost everyone in the world. So, after hours of staring at this blank page, I gave up on trying to think of something. So, I logged onto my Netflix account and watched a movie called
Cyberbully. Then it hit me. JUST WRITE ABOUT THIS! This sorrowful epidemic in which everyone has faced at least once in their life. And even though half of the world has written and read stuff like this, I really don't care because this is my blog post and I want to spend my time writing about something that is really important.
I feel like people just don't understand how much bullying affects everyone. I mean, people say they do, but do they really? I mean, if you understand how much it hurts someone, then why would you keep doing it? Why would you purposely keep emotionally, mentally, and/or physically hurting someone? These are the questions I'm dying to know the answer to. I find no logic in this what so ever.
I have read about and lived bullying. It is the absolute worst feeling in the world to be bullied and no one deserves to go through it no matter what they have done, no one should have to face it. And i know what it is like. I too have been bullied in the past and it really did suck and it made me feel so useless and stupid and worthless. No one should ever feel like a waste of space and that is, in fact, how i felt. And i know i wasn't alone because millions of people felt the same way in that exact same moment.
The truth of the matter is that the movie
Cyberbully really opened my eyes again. This poor girl tried to commit suicide because of the nerve that some people had to talk bad about her. And it wasn't like, "Oh! Her shirt was ugly!". It was more like someone made up a lie that they slept with her when they didn't and know she is being tormented for the crime she didn't commit. I was just plain disgusted by this. The nerve of some people.
This blog post is officially a rant about this topic. I just want everyone to know that it is NEVER okay to make someones life miserable to make your own life better. It never was; It is not; and it never will be okay to do that to a venerable human being who has gone through so much already that you don't know about. It is never okay to judge someone without knowing them, because that person may or may not being going through a lot. Plus, they may be a best friend material for you. So give them a chance.
So many people each year commit suicide because of the crude bullying they have to go through without any purpose. And the bullies don't seem to care until that person is gone forever and it is too LATE to apologize to them.
Don't be the reason someone cuts themselves. Don't be the reason someone cries themselves to sleep at night. Don't be the reason someone ends their life. End the bullying before it is to late. And for those who are reading this who are going through what it is exactly that I'm describing...my prayers are with you. Never loose hope and stay strong. For those who are the ones bullying someone else...it does NOT make you any cooler. Calling someone fat WON'T make you any skinnier and you should STOP now before the innocent victim you're targeting is gone forever.
Thanks you guys so much for reading! :)
