Cyber-bullying and sorts

Now, I don't want this post to be another one of my opinions. I actually want to make this a very serious post. I have seen examples and saw many presentations about these kinds of issues, so I know that I'm not talking about anything. ICARE Revolution have been in my school and I saw a hugely motivating presentation. Make sure to see their website :) They talk about how so many students in the UK are absent everyday only because of that one person who told them bad words. But it doesn't all end after school- now that we have social media, bullying can of course continue at home. This should immediately stop. It is very important that you feel safe in the environment you are in, and no-one can ever stop you if you stand up for yourself.


If you feel that you are being bullied, or you know someone who is, tell someone! I always tell myself that nothing will get better if you don't speak out and tell anyone! If you keep silent, things can get far worse than you can imagine. I don't want to mention anything really, but children and especially teenagers have very bad thoughts if continued to be bullied a long time. They lose hope that they can be a person- they lose hope that they have any value. Today, the ICARE Revolution told us about things like value too. Now, imagine a 10 pound note. Even if you scrunch it up, stamp on it, fold it, rip it, it will still be 10 pounds- it will not change value. And the same happens to us. We won't even be made into anything smaller than we think we are. If you think you are great in what you do for people and how you are, you're right. Bullying definitely lowers self-esteem, a lot. And now, I don't want people to feel like that. I know that when you are reading this, thousands of teenagers are being bullied. But a stop to it!!!! Join The String Movement and tie a string at your wrist- show it, tell it, yell it! This is what was said: "Show it, tell it, YELL IT!"


This post is not to make you feel ashamed that you maybe still haven't helped these people- it's to tell you to start. I want to tell you that this is what I care about, so I encourage you to help too. So many people are getting bullied, let's stop it together!


I hope this motivated you :)
