Nowadays nobody is bullying her anymore. She found a lot of great friends and is very beautiful and self-confident. It was hard to believe her story about being different. My answer to it was: ''At the age of 14 everyone is 'different'''.
There are a million stories like this. You could exchange the ''being different'' with being ugly, fat, thin, stupid, short, shy etc.
My answer to bullying is not ''Stop bullying!", because at some age and in some periods of life it is normal and we all came or will come across this topic. My answer is:
- Stretch your middle finger to the world, to the world! ;-p -
We often enough take it to serious, when someone calls us something. We let ourselves define by what other people think about ourselves..If everybody thinks you are to fat, you start to think you are.
I ask myself: Why?
What do you have from defining yourself through peoples eyes and words? Only disadvantages.
Sometimes people told me I'm naive. One day I started to believe them and with feeling naive I also got a feeling of being stupid. My self esteem shrunk and I began to see myself in a negative light. It even made me feel to fat and not beautiful or unique enough. Eventually my communicative state of mind switched into shyness.
Then I grew older and realized how self-destructive this was. I picked up the broken pieces of my self-confidence and glued them back together. A beautiful time of my life began. I tell myself everyday: ''You are beautiful, smart, simply awesome. You have a great body, mind and soul. You are unique, blessed, talented and loved. There is no other you that is THAT hilarious awesome and no other you at all!''
And guess what? I really believe I am and therefore everyone else believes it, too ;-)
Surround yourself with positive energy and a positive attitude about yourself and life and it will surely affect your environment and especially the people around you! :-)
Have a great day.
Lots of Love xoxo
