How To Deal With Bullying

People say that being bullied makes you stronger but in my opinion that is not true. Bullying can make you extremely insecure and can cause anxiety and completely reduce your self esteem. I have come up with a few tips on how to deal with bullying but let me highlight that this is just my advice and isn't garantee to work. Sometimes it can feel never ending but trust me it does get better eventually but for now remember as Jessie J says that it is okay not to be okay and when it does get better you can really appreciate the good times.

Tell someone about it whether that is a friend, parent, teacher, an online friend or even someone who is in the same situation as you, you will feel instantly better for telling someone how it is making you feel and getting their advice about it. They might even be able to help you. Although never presume that telling a teacher will sort out the situation because from the past it has not helped and when i have checked out youtubers videos on this subject they have said the same thing, that teachers didn't do anything for them and just said to ignore it. Ignoring it might help for a little while but certainly isn't the way to go about it because the people or person that is bullying you should be punished for their actions because it's not acceptable and shouldn't be believed to be acceptable. No one deserves to get bullied, ever and if you have never been bullied you are very lucky.

Bullying can happen to anyone at any age, any environment whether that's school, work or even at home it can literally happen anywhere. People should never believe they should be treated that way however bullying can affect the brain mentally because people are made to believe they are what the bullies say they are. It's so sad because the bullies are the horrible people with sad lives by getting a high from making other people feel like absolute crap. Something that might help you is that these bullies are so insecure about themselves that they have to pick on other people to make them feel better about themselves.

Try and just avoid the people who are making you feel crap about yourself, the good thing about leaving school is that you have more of a choice of where you work and the people you have around you. You can move house, get a new job and become more independent. If you are getting bullied at school though make sure teachers, your parents and friends are aware of this so they can help. Learn to remember that you shouldn't have to deal with it and something has to be done about it. Never feel as if you have to get used to it or you deserve it because that couldn't be more untrue.

If people are hurting your feelings quite evidently and are just saying its just banter or learn how to take a joke don't listen to them because if they are hurting your feelings and making you feel shitty about yourself then that is most certainly bullying. Some people think that calling what is bullying a bit of banter and are probably doing it to explain their actions. They might be making a 'joke' out of your insecurities or joking about a sensitive matter to you, don't put up with it because that is bullying which is unacceptable and extremely manipulative way to do it. 

Always surround yourself with people that appreciate you and make you feel good about yourself and really buzz off each other because those types of people are the people that can really help you especially in shitty situations like these. There will always be someone to brighten your day and make life a better place. Make sure you keep hold of those sorts of people because those are the sort of people you need in your life plus they are very raw and don't come along everyday. 

Thank you for reading and i hope this helps anyone that is being bullied right now, chin up it can only get better and it will! :)
