Bully This

Over the years there have been more and more talks about stopping bullying. And that's a good thing.

You should not bully people just because they're different, poor, unpopular, or because you think they're weak. That just proves you are an asshole.

I teach my son (and will teach my daughter as she gets older) that you never pick a fight with someone or put them down just because they're different than you. Its not funny. No one will think you're cool. You won't earn respect.

Being a bully is just dumb.

Now to those being bullied. Why won't you stand up for yourself? Why are you allowing someone to make you look weak? You get bullied once, its because you are being tested. You can walk away and act like its no big deal, even if it hurts your feelings. But don't let it happen twice. If someone thinks they can take advantage of you, they're going to keep doing it until you stand up for yourself and put them in their place.

If you aren't good at thinking on your feet, then remove yourself from the situation and think about every insult someone can throw at you. Then think of rebuttals.

If someone is assaulting you, and you can't fight, take self defense classes and beat their ass.

If its cyber bullying, then delete your account, create a new one and make it completely private. Don't add people to social networking sites that you don't know, or don't talk to in person. Don't cry because someone spreads lies about you. Everyone gets lied about. Stop dwelling on it.

If you're gay, stop getting all worked up cause someone is calling you a fag. They aren't worth killing yourself over.

Being a teenager is hard, and there are a ton of assholes in high school that are so bored with their lives that they want to start any drama they can. Those girls calling you a whore, are actually whores and want to take the focus off themselves. Trust me, in 10 years, they'll look 30 years older than their age, and no man is going to want them.

You get picked on cause you aren't blonde, tan and skinny? Guess what, you'll have beautiful skin for years to come because you aren't living in a tanning bed. Real men really do love curves (really). In fact, they'll do anything to be with a woman with curves. And blonde is so over rated. (red is where its at!)

Bottom line, stop worrying about what every one else thinks of you or says about you. You should be able to look in the mirror every morning and every night and say "I'm ______, and I'm better than those skanky bitches/worthless dickheads! And no one can change that, except me."

Take charge of your life. You run it. No one else.
