Stand Up For Who You Are!

If someone tries to bring you down, hold your head higher & smile

People get picked on & bullied for many different things. It could be something as simple as the clothes you wear or your style of hair, to the colour of your skin or the person you choose to love, whether it be a man or a woman.
I'm one of those people. However, I just think I have a flashing neon sign above my head saying "Pick On Me!" as I've no idea why people choose to bully me. I'm just trying to be myself! And that's just it! No matter what you do, how many times you colour your hair, or change your clothing style, some people will just walk right over you.
So, what do we do?
We have to learn to stand up for ourselves, because it's our right to have the freedom to live as we are. We shouldn't have to change ourselves in any sort of way, except to gain a bit of confidence & build on our self esteem.

My blog is about how I try to be me, trying to be the best I can be!

I promise you this is not a super depressing blog, because I sure as hell ain't a depressed person, though, I do have my moments, just as everyone else does.
This is where I will be 100% myself, expressing my thoughts & feelings on different matters & also my daily life.

What I hope to do here on this blog, is to put a smile on your face &, hopefully, let you know it's okay to be yourself; to be proud of who you are!

If you do read my blog & you find that you find what I say has some truth to it, or my wackiness & randomness of my true self puts a good smile on your face, please don't hesitate to comment & let me know! Putting a smile on someone's face is always the best thing! It'd make my day! :)

Well, I hope you enjoy my blog... Have a good day! :)

Gathering Support Group Info!

I'm trying to make a page for bullying support groups/websites that people can turn to in a time of need. These are places for people that just want to talk & let their feelings out or get help to deal with the situation that they're in.
So far, I've only really managed to find one that I like so far (I'm trying them out myself before I put then up,). It's hard to find time to check them all.
However, if you know any support groups/websites for bullying or even for anyone BGLT or whatever, that would be great! Especially as it wouldn't feel right for me to bust into their support groups, since I don't happen to fall into the BGLT category. It'd be sort of intruding on people that do, I feel, especially in a support group or site... Okay, I'm rambling, sorry!
The basic gist of things are that I'm hoping that anyone that knows ANY good support websites or group for ANYthing, please comment on this post! I've a good insight for bullying groups, as I've been bullied myself. Otherwise, I'd appreciate the help from you, as I wouldn't know what would be good for people in situations I've never been in myself. Y'know?

So, comment below to help! Thank yoooooooou! :)

Just Talk

I talked to mam today about school & how I was worried about what subjects I'll get, since the two main ones I want, & sort of need, will be against each other on the timetable this year.
I mentioned how I was sort of afraid if people will say stuff to me again this year. Like, there's no reason in my mind to say anything rude/stupid/ignorant towards me, except people still do. Maybe it's the reaction I give back amuses them.
Or, in most cases, I think, they are completely idiotic in my year group.

Last year, apparently, because I had mentioned to the principal about how I would like to study Visual Communications in third level & that Art is a required subject for this course, while Design Communication Graphics (DCG) is highly recommended, I had changed the timetable for the coming year. A large number of my fellow students somehow come to this conclusion as the principal gave out another draft of the timetable - I repeat DRAFT!!! - that suited me better than the first one given out. I'm one student out of roughly 79. How am I suppose to change a whole timetable?! It actually suited a lot of my friends better too. However, because I had talked to the principal & people disagreed with the timetable, they threw temper tantrums & blamed me, even though the principal said it was still subject to change & the real timetable would possibly be a mix of the two drafts together. Sometimes I think I go to school with a bunch of imbeciles because of this.

Also, after all that, I got a letter last week giving out a more final timetable, very similar to the first, so they've no reason to blame me for anything now.

So, anyway, I told mam about everything I was worrying about from the subjects I might have to do, to the people that I don't want to meet again this term, among other things.
I felt a lot better after this.

Talking to someone about what's on your mind helps.
Don't let it build up inside.
Don't bottle it up until you overflow with worry, fear or anxiety.
It only causes unneeded stress & anger,
So, talk to someone.
A close friend, family member, teacher, councillor...?
Maybe even on an online support forum or there's something similar to that, but over landline I've heard!
But, the gist is, it helps to get it all off your chest.
So, don't let it build up.
Just talk.

Be Who You Want To Be

If someone ever tries to bring you down, hold your head higher.
Be who you want to be.
Don't let anyone give you crap for it.
People bully others because they're not comfortable in themselves.
They may say it's because you're different,
But, really, they're jealous of the fact that you can be yourself.
So fuck 'em!
Be proud of who you are!
Don't ever change your hair or style because some asshole says something about your appearance!
Don't cry yourself to sleep at night if someone says it's wrong to fall in love with someone of the same gender.
Don't be afraid to say what you think, just because some idiot may make a snide comment.
Laugh in their faces.
Flip them off!

You should have the freedom to be yourself.
So, stand up for yourself,
Because you're the only one that can.

I've Been Bullied. Have You?

School is starting again next week & to be honest I'm not entirely excited about going back.
A lot of people used to be so nice in my school, but I've found that, over the years, many have turned into horrible assholes & bullies.
I've always managed to be picked on from a young age. Sometimes I feel as if there's a florescent sign above my head flashing "Pick On Me!" Once I staarted secondary school, though, I did gain a bit of confidence, but in last year or two, I'd say, things have gotten worse again. I can't say anything some days without some idiot trying to make a smart comment. Often it's easy to laugh it off, but others, I just want to tell them to shut the fuck up!
There have been times I've been hit & kicked by another girl, so I had to learn to hit back. D got me interested in rugby. One day, this same girl wanted to know how to rugby tackle. D told me to show her, so I tackled her to the ground in the middle Biology Lab at lunch. One of the best moments of my life! She tends to be quite nice to me now.

However, not everything is as easy as rugby tackling the bully. You just have to learn to take the shit. Stand your ground. I've had to do this some many times over the years. I usen't to be able. I would start to cry & get upset. I still do, but now I can hold it in better & tell the asshole where to go; how untrue what they say is.

Sometimes, it's not always easy, but I have, as well as you do, the right to be me. To try to live my life as me. I shouldn't need to change myself completely to get someone to stop picking on me.

So, schools starting again next week & I can't wait to see all my friends & all the teachers I love.
I don't give a crap about what they say tome or what they think! I shouldn't & neither should you!

ANGER!!!

I don't want to clean rooms any more or serve people's breakfast. I want to stay up late and not give a shit. I want to sleep in as late as I want. I don't want to go around having to correct the girl that comes to help out in the B&B on the exact same things, almost everyday! I want to breath. I do'nt want fucking retards at school using me to take out their anger.
Just because the principal gave out another fucking EXAMPLE timetable after I talked to him, does not fucking mean it's my fault. I'm ONE goddamn student out of SEVENTY-FIVE!!!! Why the fuck would he change it for me you stupid retards! I didn't even ask him to change it. He even said that it wasn't the final thing.
That time ye decided it would be funny to spread it around that I was pregnant? Shout it out in class so the teachers could hear? Yeah, fucking hilarious. Go play with yourselves, you'll find that ye ain't so fun
Oh, & you know that sixth year that was drinking in school & stealing things from the classrooms, on his last day of school? Did he deserve to get in trouble? Hell yes! But was I the one that told on him, or did ye all just assume, as ye all do & spread it around the school that I did? Yeah, thought so.
I'm so fucking glad it's summer. Finally away from the likes of you bastards.
You can't call me names or push around. Judge me for what I look like, or dream to do. I can breath more, be myself more. I hope, some day, each and every one of you can feel what I've felt. You won't be so quick to go after me then, eh?
 
Maybe this is what happened to me? All this stupid retarded stress?!
Fuck all this!
Just let me breath again...
