Bullying

Bullying is a big problem, kids and even adults are being bullied. People don't understand the power that their words have. Sure there's that saying that says "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me" which is not true. Physical wounds heal and then they're gone, but hurtful words are toxic. They seep into every part of you and destroy you. They eat at you from the inside out, words have the power to destroy you in seconds. They can destroy what took years to built in a blink of an eye. Words cause more harm than anything. Hearing the word "fat" or "piggy" to a person who is heavier can potentially lead a person to try drastic measures to conform to societies ideal of beauty. People are are bullied because of, ethnecity, sexsual preference, clothes, finacial status and so on. Why do people think that you have to look like a starving model to be considered beautiful? Why do people think loving someone from the same gender is wrong?  Why do people think that the only way to "fit" in is to wear designer clothes?  Why does everybody feel the need to shove their opinions and idea of right and wrong and beauty down everybody's throat? Why? No one has the right to tell anybody else that how they look is wrong. No one has the right to tell someone that who they love is wrong. No one has the right to tell someone that how and who they choose to live their life with is wrong. Please pick your words wisely, you never know what kind of damage you can cause with just one word.  If you or someone you know are getting bullied please get help, don't allow someone to hurt you. And please remember that you are beautiful, you are important, you are special, you are one of a kind. Don't turn off your light just because someone dosent like your shine, if anything shine brighter. So be you because you're one of a kind, a true priceless masterpiece. Be who you are and love who you choose, because "Those who mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss
