Bullying is awful

Bullying isn't a funny thing. It hurts people. It kills people mentally. It drives people insane.

Did you know that bullying caused so much deaths? Suicides? People just give their life away easily just because of the words they receive everyday, the bruises they get every single day, the titters of every one else laughing at the way h/she dress. 

Most teenagers reason to why they bully is: "I wasn't bullying. I was just playing around." 

Now see, that's the problem. Most people think that bullying is just for fun. Yes maybe it's for fun to you, but not to the victim. Imagine yourself in that position. Do you really think it's fun for someone to receive your harsh words and actions? Obviously not. 

Don't hurt others! Make more friends :)

Friendships

There isn't ONE perfect friendship in this world. Everybody makes mistakes. Friends fight. 

That is why there's a term called "reconciling with a friend". It's a way to fix your friendship, to heal the wound, to make things better. 

I know some fights could be awful & terrible, sometimes our friends can even hurt us. But before giving up and letting go your friendship, think back again...think carefully...your friends are your friends for a reason. Think through about all the fun and happy memories, the things you both went through and at the end of the day you'll really value your friendship and won't let anything or anyone take away your friendship. 

Friends are gifts from God. 

Cherish them. You might not meet anyone like them again in the future. 

So to whoever is having a fight with their friend...

Don't you want to make things better? 

And to keep your friendship for the longest time ever? 

Then talk to them...

I hope things go alright! 

How To Deal With Bullying

Bullying is inevitable. 

But there is a way to deal with it.
.
.
.

If someone starts bothering you or bullying you, ignore them.

If ignoring is still not working and what they did is already passing the line, you should tell a teacher or your parents. I know that this is a normal thing to say, but it's true. If you kept the pain inside hidden, and tell it to no one then you would be dying inside.

If nobody is listening to you and simply ignoring you, you talk to God. Talk to Him. The One who knows everything about you and still loves You unconditionally.

One thing to remember: don't seek for revenge.
"Bless those who persecute you."


If you're a victim of bullying...
- Pray
- Ignore the words
- Be strong

How Do You Reconcile With Your Friend?

1. Approach your friend 

    If you feel like you made a mistake or if your friend just suddenly acted differently, approach and talk to them nicely. Make sure that the timing is right; your friend is in a good condition, there's not much school work going on, etcetera.

2. Talk with your friend

    Once you approached them and they agree to talk things out with you, start asking and talking. Once your friend is engaged in the conversation, listen out to her thoughts and feelings. Try to understand each other's point of view and if possible, don't explode easily and calm down while you're talking. Speak the truth even if it hurts because it's much better to be hurt with the truth than sugarcoated with a lie. 

3. Forgive and forget 

    After the hard talking, apologize to each other and forget the mistakes. It's the past after all, it's better to forget it and leave it behind than keeping it with you as a grudge. 

4. Learn from your mistakes 

    Problem solved! All you now have to do is learn from your mistakes. Try to be a better person and don't repeat the same mistakes. Be a better person :) 

Hope this helps!
