I ended up fighting back and the bullying decreased. Now thats how I solved some of my dilemma, only I'm guessing your sister doesn't want to get physical against anyone. Her school, Your guys school, is fucked up. From what I've heard from you not only just now, but also from speaking to you on GTA, the school is in a pretty bad shape. The day I stayed home from school, I heard her through your mic, your sister arrived home and begin yelling, You then told me she was angry from all of the bullying.. When you have such a fuck up school.. its hard to deal with all the problems you're facing... If only some way the school would be changed, faculty fired, and bullying be taken care of... Tell her to Hold strong, I feel her pain.
I didn't know that about youMy heart goes out to you and everyone else who is struggling with bullying or knows someone is dealing with it. I faced some bullying (mostly verbal though) in middle school and it maybe extended somewhat into my first year of high school but now I'm doing ok. I think a lot of it was that I was a particularly small kid who didn't hit his growth spurt until high school whereas most kids were getting taller/bigger in middle school. I also was pretty socially awkward and felt different from a lot of the other kids (but I've worked through that and am much healthier socially and my self-esteem is much higher now; I think part of the emotional weakness also had to do with how my Dad treated me at times).
But overall becoming taller (which we can't really control), becoming more confident (which you can control even if you have to fake it in the beginning), and listening to music particularly Eminem all helped me to fight back against some bullies or rather not let their words or actions get to me as much either.
All I gotta say is stay strong and be confident. I know it's a thousand times easier said than done but just be yourself. And pursue what you love and live your life and don't care what others think about and just surround yourself with people that bring you up, not down. I know it sounds corny and I got a bit personal but I feel it's important to share your stories and your experience, strength, and hope to help others get through hard times.
Right back at you bro.
I visited a counselor a couple times because she wanted to speak to me. Today was one of those times. She told me that I have a thick shell, a hard outer shell that no one is allowed in.. She asks me if I have anyone to speak to, let my mind out to.
I tell her yes, because I do, my girlfriend, I tell her everything, she and my counselor both know I have a hard shell.. And a softer inside. I try not to show too many emotions.
My counselor, I've told her, that not only do I have someone to talk to and pour my emotions out to, I told her I write a lot, to express not only emotions, but anger and everything I have built up. She doesn't know what kind of writing, obviously it's rap, but she wants to see them, but it ain't gonna happen. Lol
I have been getting better with stuff, I'm alright, I will be alright from now on.
And right back at you man, Good on you bro, stay cool, hold on, you've got it Homie. We both do.
And Atone same on you and your sister, like Blogger said, stay confident, stay strong, just push on through.
Thanks man
That's great you have your girlfriend to share everything with tbh
