Love lesson 16: Let’s take a stand together

I remember being bullied in school all because I was a little over weight and didn’t have money for all the name brand clothes. I had a lot of friends, but because I dressed in black, I was a hood, which now I guess I’d be known as Goth or emo. I dressed like that not for attention but because well my favorite color is black hell at 34, I still love to dress in all black. I would cry over the things they would say to me. It changes a person forever. Yes, I lost the weight and the same people that made fun of me then wanted to be near me. Just think of how many lives would be saved if there were no bullies. I have gotten a lot of great feedback on this story so I’m asking for your help. Please help me take a stand against bullying. Today is self-harm awareness day. We need to put the word out about this. It can all start with you. A lot of people self-harm because they are in pain. Be nice to one another. If you see someone being bullied go up and befriend them. You doing that could just save a life. Smile at someone that looks sad that one action could me the world to someone. I myself used to self-harm because of all the pain I held inside. If it wasn’t for the people in my life that cared for me, I wouldn’t be here right now. Some of us are ashamed to ask for the help we need but by you being there for them will help. Listen to them but never judge. We can make this place safer one person at a time. If you or someone you know is being bullied, I’m here and I’m all ears. If you or someone you know you know self-harms come to me, I’ll listen without judgment so please let me help. As you can tell from this story I’ve been through a lot. I want to help others through my stories so please if you need help let me help you.
