Fighting the Dark Arts

Hi guys,

So today I'm going to do a segment on Bullying because it's happened to me. 

Bullying is an art. A Dark Art. 



It is performed by insecure people who feel threatened by your sheer awesomeness! Bullying is can be done by anyone. Your archenemy, a sibling, a classmate, a cousin or even a parent it can even be all of them. It can also be done in any shape, way or form. You can be tied down, insulted, physically hit or slapped and other things like that. 

Being bullied sucks with a capital -UCKS that rhymes with trucks and stands for trouble. If you're being bullied, here is some advice. Everything you've heard about speaking up for yourself is true, but it is hard. Standing up to a bigger kid, a teenager or even an adult is a very bold move, one that you have to take to begin your journey on the way to be a very brave person. If you feel that you are a weak person, you're not alone. But the truth is that everyone has greatness and courage deep within them, some choose to bring it out and at times when you're being picked on, that's when you must reveal you're true self: an amazing human being! Another thing that helps is to look at yourself in the mirror everyday and say: "I'm confident!" 

It sounds silly but it helps. A Lot! 

I know what it feels like to think that you're alone in the world and that no one else is there for you. But if you think that you're just lying to yourself, look around: you have friends and family and others who are there for you.

Here are some techniques to deal with bullying:

• Don't insult the person back or hit them back, this will only escalate things (I know this is hard and it might be really tempting but trust me don't do it!)
• Try to talk to them and ask them why they are doing this.

I'm going to share with you a speech I have to someone who was bullying me and my friend:  "I feel very sorry for you because you must be a very insecure person to be picking on people like this. That or you're just so bored and alone that you have nothing else to do with your time."

And from that moment on she left us alone because, bullies hid behind masks and when you show the world their true colours, they're powerless!

Courage is a rock. It needs to be practiced and polished before it can become a diamond. God made each and everyone of us a rock and lets us turn ourselves into diamonds.

WARNING: if you see someone being bullied TELL an adult IMMEDIATELY! And also don't become a bully just because you're not targeted!


Remember that,
