I have been there, on the other side of the screen, humiliated by
another, and hurt from the inside out. As a victim of cyber-bullying, I
have learned that no matter what bullies say, it's up to you onhow well
you deal with the situation.
After the first time I realized that
it wasn't my fault it happened at all. It was their own doing. I had
thought maybe I had done something which may have gotten me into this
mess or maybe i just wasn't someone's favorite person.
After the
second time it just wasn't worth it to care. I may have struggled with
my self-esteem and walked with my head down in the school hallways, but
even though that was who I was for that short period of time, I still
had a chance to change who i was. So I gave myself a motto.
"You
know I mat look fat to you, but to God I am beautiful and perfect in my
own way. You may say hurtful, deceiving words that may make my heart
ache and tears fall from my eyes, but I am strong and I will make it
through my life and make something big out of myself."
I know that
God is there to comfort us in our times of need. No matter how big or
small the situation is. I have learned so much about myself after all i
have been through. And I have been able to choose who I want to become
in my life. This has helped me to know who I am and hold my head up high
when I walk.
I know now that this was something that was meant to
happen to me to learn to treat myself with respect and help gain
respect from others.
