Life After Procrastination: Bullying

egibney:

So I think it’s time for a serious Tumblr post.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic particularly because of how it relates to my experience.

I was bullied for a majority of my young life. Starting from when I was 6, I can remember the first instance when I felt someone laugh at me.

It…

Yes it does get better when you #mutethesilence and speak up against bullying. Good job. We are proud of you.

I’m going to go to one of the up coming board meetings for my school district and talk to them about the way teachers react when bullying is reported them. I tried for 2 years in middle school to get help from a teacher and was ignored  and that pushed me to slf-injure. Than when I was in recovery from self-injury I tried again to report it and was told to ignore the bullies.I’ve also found out that my little sister’s best friend is being harassed and the school refuses to switch her classes so she can get away fromt the kids. What kind of crap is that?As a child in elementary school you are taught to go to an adult if you are being bullied but when someone does nothing happens. Doesn’t that put the blame on not only the bullies but the teachers that ignored the bullying when a child takes their life because of being picked on? 

No one deserves to be bullied. Let us make a collective effort to help ourselves and others #mutethesilence and be in control of their own lives, and speak up against bullying.

#mutethesilence, stand up for somebody because everyone is worth fighting for. 

Who kicked a hole in the sky so the heavens would cry over me?
Who stole the soul from the sun in a world come undone at the seams?

Take a stand for the bullied, help them #mutethesilence

1 in 4 secondary school students in Singapore get bullied. Bullies and their victims are often of the same gender, the same ethnic group, and in the same class at school. The mentality of “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” is riddled with flaws, as we all know that words cut deep.

November is the month of Anti-Bullying, join our online troops at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mute-The-Silence/175077745836790 and spread the message across all networking sites.

Help them #mutethesilence and speak up against bullies.
