Coping- Planning For The Future; Something To Look Forward To

One thing I find helpful is looking ahead. I think about graduating high school, getting my own place, college, depending on no one, doing whatever i want just because I can. Thinking like that helps, even when at times you feel like you won't make it another year.

Sometimes that's the only thing you have-the future. Work your hardest right now to make the future everything you want it to be.

It might take some effort but it'll be worth it, I promise. Just hold those tears until the sun sets, let it out, and wake up the next morning with a confident smile like nothing could ever break you, when really nothing can because you're broken inside.

Stay happy folks & spread the word of this blog : )

Bullying (My Opinion At Least)

I've personally never been bullied but I know alot of people are. I also know alot of people AREN'T and like to pretend, or inflate a simple opinion into bullying.

Now bullying is serious, and not to be taken lightly, but people I know, someone close, is one of those people that takes someone's opinion personally and thinks it's bullying.

I'm sorry, but no matter how sensitive you think you are, you have to grow up. You have to learn to deal with people who won't like you and the truth, and the truth hurts most of the time.

I know people's words can hurt, but you have to realize, they don't matter because in the end, they're not going to matter, they'll eventually get karma, eventually they'll grow up.

And if your like me, change, become someone you want to be and someone you're proud of, be confident and show off your confidence, they'll back off.

The thing with bullying is that it's repeated and intended to hurt you. If someone just speaks their mind, that's not bullying, if someone doesn't like you, that's their right, they don't have to like you, not everyone will, so get used to it. In life you'll encounter all kinds of people and not all will mesh well with your personality.

If you are being bullied, just try nto to take it to heart, yeah it hurts, cry a little, but don't do anything drastic, if it gets bad, tell someone, or speak to the bully, speak up for yourself, do something to prevent it like move schools, avoid the bully, etc.

And if you hear multiple people tell you that you're annoying, try changing then, don't change into some new person, but try out different things, like speaking more, less, quieter, listening more, watching what you say, and see where people might find you annoying. For example, people used to ALWAYS say i laughed too much, or i was too loud. I decided to stop laughing, and then i started again, and realized some things i didn't need to laugh at, just simply smile. I tried talking less, then talking again and i realized i could stop talking so much.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to improve some of your flaws, but you'll always have flaws, so don't get too caught up with that.

Overall, be you, and stick up for yourself. Grow a pair and tell them off, or be the bigger person and realize there's nothing wrong with you.
