Bullying, it happens everywhere and at any time. When I say everywhere, I mean literally everywhere. On the playground, in the halls at school or the office, on your phone, computer, or I pod/pad, the possibilities are endless. Most of the time it goes unnoticed or people that do notice think that this isn't their problem and they just leave it alone. No matter how old you are there is a chance that you are or have been bullied recently.
I was bullied when I was a little kid, I was really small for my age because of the stunting of growth that the drugs and alcohol my birth mother did while she was pregnant. I didn't have many friends and even the friends that I had made fun of me. Well when I got into high school I thought my torment would be over, I went almost three years without being bullied. Until yesterday, I posted something on my Facebook and some people were offended by it.
It was just a little joke about my beliefs and where I stand on gay marriage. I believe that marriage is a sacred thing for a man and a women. Well because I stated my opinion others became mad at me and they made it very vocal. This certain group of people tagged me in a post and stated that I was a cruel cold bigot. Also they stated that I was a hypocrite and that i only had a Facebook to say awful and mean things about people for the world to see. Why they said these things and why others encouraged them is a wonder that will never be solved.
Thankfully I have wonderful friends and a wonderful mother who were there to stand up for me and help me through this. I am very lucky, others don't have that because they feel that if they tell anyone they will get seriously hurt. Bullying needs to STOP NOW. There are people out there that are going through tough times and if someone were to say these things to them they might think the only way to get out is by taking their own life. To many innocent lives have been lost to bullying and I want to put an end to it. So I am asking you all a favor and please do it for me, no society, please stop all of the hate. Like President Uchdorf said, "If you are gossiping or bullying just stop it." Such wise words and amazing advice. Also I ask that you stop bullying if you see it going on. Stand up and fight for those who can't fight for themselves.
Please help me fight this battle against bullying! Don't let people get away with it, don't turn the other cheek when you see it going on. Everyone needs a friend, so lets stand together as the human race and treat everyone with respect and love. Lets stop the hate and the bullying now, okay? Starting now and forever on stand up against the bully. Be strong because someone someday may need your strength.
