Hello Again♥
So, I'm not quite done with the bullying topic yet because there are a few things I wanted to discuss involving this topic. Okay, so let's say you're walking home from school one day when all of a sudden somebody comes over and pushes you down. You may or may not fight back. So let's say you do, this would be bad and good. It would be bad because you are also harming the other person. It wouldn't necessarily be good but you would be defending yourself. Let's say you don't fight back though, you get harmed even worse and the other person now thinks you can't fight back or you won't fight back at all. Neither decisions are good though. The bully wants a reaction from you but at the same time if you show you're weak they could continue harming you. Now let's do another example that is a little worse, let's say you're bullied a lot. One day you're at your locker when one of the people who bullies you comes over and starts calling you names, ugly, fat, stupid, etc. Now you could react and start hitting them or calling them names or you could ignore it. So, you start calling them names and then you start fighting with them. Do not do that. It doesn't matter what they say. You aren't supposed to please them, you're supposed to please yourself. And if people like that mess up your self-esteem remember this, you were born you. You weren't born to be like anybody else, you were born to be yourself. Now let's say you ignore it and walk away, that's good and bad. They could make it worse or they could just leave you alone. Have you realized though that in both examples the victim didn't tell anybody? That's because usually, that doesn't happen. But it won't end until you tell somebody. I don't care who but it needs to be somebody. If somebody bullies you online just print it out and show it to a teacher, counselor, part, or any adult. If you're bullied in school or out of school, just tell somebody. TELL SOMEBODY. It needs to end. Now let's say you're a bully, why? Why do you do this to people? You have somebody you can talk to if you do it because you're hurt. It's okay. Now if you're jealous of the person, stop. How do you think that person feels? You're making them feel like they aren't good enough. It shouldn't matter what you look like compared to other people. You are you for a reason. Now I think I made my point. Never give in. Never lose hope. Never back down. And most importantly, Never give up.
Bye♥

Bullying
Hey Everybody(:
So the topic today is going to be about bullying.
First off- If you are bullied you need to tell somebody. You could tell a friend, counselor, family member, teacher, parent, anybody. Either way, you need to tell somebody because if not, it won't stop.
Bullying is a problem that occurs everyday in many places in school and out of school. No matter where it happens, it is bad and it must be stopped. This problem can't go on forever, it causes things like depression, suicide, cutting and other forms of self-harm. Sometimes even though somebody may seem happy and confident, you might never know that they're depressed or have thought about suicide or have attempted suicide.
The definition of bully on dictionary.com is this: a blustering, quarrelsome, overbearing person who habitually badgers and intimidates smaller or weaker people.
Bullies aren't always confident though. Everybody has there secrets. A bully could have grown up in a household that wasn't good for them meaning, they could have been abused physically and verbally so that's how they treat other people. Also, bullies may be insecure or depressed and they might take it out on other people to make them feel the hurt that they feel. Or in some cases they might just be mean or they could be jealous of the person they bully. Another thing is that they want control and power.

Bullying is never good though, online, out of school in school, it still has the same effect. A person might be confident but no matter how confident somebody is, words still hurt, whether they admit it or not. Now, I won't lie, I'm not the nicest person you could meet, nowhere near it, but I will tell you one thing, every time I say something mean I immediately regret it because I know how it feels and it hurts, a lot. So I've been really trying to be nicer and I have a long way to go but I know I'm getting better. I won't say I was ever a bully but again, I wouldn't say I was nice either. I hope if you're bullied you will tell somebody because it needs to stop. If you know somebody who is bullied then you need to tell somebody, stand up and step up. This needs to end. It will not go on forever and one person can make a huge difference in society.
Bye and I hope this helped.

Intro.
Hello♥
Well, my name is Alex. I'm turning 12 on June 13th of 2012. I started this blog thinking "You know, it would be nice to just try and help people with everyday problems like cutting, depression, suicide, bullying, etc." This was inspired by YouTube channel SeperatedByFew and website CompassionAndPeace.org Both are absolutely amazing. But anyways, the point of this isn't to just talk about random things or be mean and judge or anything like that. The point is to help people. That's all I want. Overtime I might have a few of my friends join this and help me but for right now I'll just have it be me unless somebody asks. Remember, you can talk to me about anything and if you want me to discuss a specific topic just let me know. And I just want you to know, one person can make a difference.
