True Friends Are Hard To Find

Why should you be happy? Because

You are alive. There are people who passed away even at the age of one. You are lucky to be alive, healthy, and breathing today.

You know where your next meal is coming from. There are kids and adults who are starving and have no food whatsoever.

You have a home. There are people out there living out on the streets of the city, who shiver and freeze every night when they go to sleep. And they don’t have a bed to sleep in.

You are surrounded by amazing people. They care about you and love you. They would honestly do anything for you and they are the ones who help you make it through every single day.

You go to school. There are kids who cannot get an education and cannot learn. You have the chance to go to school and learn. I’m not just talking about learning math or english. You have the chance to learn about the people around you and about yourself.

You are beautiful. You may be overweight, your teeth may not be perfect, you may get acne, you may have frizzy hair, you may be short or you may be tall, you may have huge boobs or none at all, but none of that matters. You look in the mirror and you see “flaws.” But why do they have to be flaws? Why does society view these things as “imperfections” or “flaws”? Why can’t these things just be viewed as who you are. This is who you are and you are beautiful. You can change your hair color, you can go on a diet, or you can get plastic surgery, but none of those things will actually change who you are inside. And you don’t need any of those things because you are beautiful on the outside and the inside.

But only if you let yourself. Just make sure not to hide your true self. Show your true colors.

Instead of focusing on the things you dislike about yourself, focus on the things you like about yourself. Whether it is your eyes, hair, tallness, shortness, eyelashes, mouth, nose, chest, bone structure, personality, shyness, loudness, sense of humor, confidence, beauty, niceness, generosity, outgoing, friendliness, nationality, religion, origin etc. Do me a favor. Write down the things you like about your friends, personality and look-wise. Then cut those things out and tape them around your mirror. Everytime you look in the mirror, read those things, and read them directing to yourself, telling yourself how beautiful you are. Because you deserve to be told how beautiful are. Because you are beautiful. Inside and out. And beauty will forever exist within you.

You just saw that photo and got the chills. You got really grossed out. You are speechless. Well, that’s just one of the causes and effects of bullying. Did you know about 30,000 Americans commit suicide every year? Did you know that for people between the ages of 15 and 24, suicide is the third leading cause of death? Did you know that an average of one person dies by suicide every 16.2 minutes? Did you know that nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying? Those stares you give people, the laughs, the words spoken behind someones back, those are the things that cause someone to commit suicide. If someone has hurt you or been obnoxious to you, be the bigger person and don’t say or do anything back. Ignore him or her. Because if one day you find out that a person you know that you once bullied has committed suicide, you will have to live with that for the rest of your life. Imagine the guilt that would be inescapable. Bullying isn’t only direct, or physical, or over the internet, it could be the things you say behind someones back. Bullying can lead to eating disorders. It could lead to cutting. And most of all, it can lead to DEATH. There is nothing you gain from bullying someone, so STOP. Stop with the drama. Stop with the stares. Stop with the laughs. Stop with the talking behind someones back. Stop with all of it. Stop the bullying. Please reblog if you agree that this bullying needs to stop.
