There will never be enough words for me to discuss the topic of bullying. Although bullying was around before social media I feel as though the issue has rapidly increased in seriousness since social media is more commonly used. Instead of just having a bitch or an argument with someone on a playground it can now drag onto social media and become an attack from numerous people on just one person. Although, there are many good things about social media the fact that it promotes cyber bullying is NOT one of them.
I don't know what goes through the minds of bullies but I do know one thing if you bully someone to gain respect or to look cool in front of your friends. How is dragging someone down funny? How is it cool? How is it respectful? I'm sorry but actually it makes you look like a complete arse hole and that's to put in kindly.
If you're bullying people to make yourself feel better believe me bringing someone down will never help you reach the top.
Do people not realize the consequences that their words can have on people? It is not fucking okay for you to describe people with words such as fat, anorexic, ugly, a whore. People are humans with a beating heart, a brain and feelings. I swear some people disregard that when they decide to not think before they open their mouth.
A lot of the things bullies bully people for are the things that they are already so insecure about it's because they know it's a weakness. They know it will hurt them. And if that isn't sick or twisted then I don't know what is..
It is NEVER okay to tell someone to go and kill themselves. Fuck, suicide is a big enough problem in the world as it is and you are willing to contribute to that are you? No-one deserves to have there life taking away from them. And just because you want to bring someone down to look cool or to make yourself feel better that is NO reason whatsoever to tell someone to go and die.
Sometimes bullies go so far that people can't even bare to look in the mirror anymore, or your words can have such a mental impact on them it can lead them to anxiety about leaving the house or making eye contact. Self confidence takes a while to build up and I've only just got to the point myself where I like who I am as a person and literally it could take one person to say one thing to bring it all crashing down.
You never know what someone is fighting behind closed doors. So why don't we just be supportive and nice to each other instead of trying to drag each other down? It really isn't worth it and it will resort in both parties becoming unhappy.
There is something beautiful about EVERYONE in this world whether you can see it or not. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
When is bullying okay? Fucking never.
Think about what you say before you say it. Words hurt.
Thank you for reading.
