"My body isn't perfect. I don't walk with confidence. I get into fights with my parents and friends. Some nights I'd rather be by myself than out partying. I cry over the smallest things sometimes. There are days that I get through forced smiles and fake laughs. Sometimes I try to convince myself that things are okay when they're not. I'm not ugly but I'm not beautiful. I don't look as good in real life as I do in pictures. There are some nights that I cry myself to sleep. I constantly think I'm not good enough. I'm imperfect, but I'm perfectly me."

BULLYING STOPS HERE!

"When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tired on to scare away the timid adventurers."

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

It's been a while since my last blog, I have decided that there are only a few things that I want to touch on, because they are so dear to my heart.

Tuesday, Jan. 31, 2012 Jacob ball, my friend, was struck by a train. Jacob was 16 and on his way home from school. A lot of accusations are out about why he was hit, and they all upset me, because if you didn't know Jacob, what right do you have to say anything. You can pretend that you know him or that it upsets you, when in all truth, you just feel bad for.... Never mind, I won't go into that, because I am trying to memorialize him, not down anyone else. I do love and miss Jacob, and I feel bad that it's been so long since I was around him. But, his memory lives on in all of us, his friends... The ones that he loved, and that loved him.

RIP Jacob Ball

I would like to touch on a sensitive subject, something that most are not going to like. I would like to talk about, Bullying. Every time I hear it, it is associated with "Kids will be kids!" No, that's not what being a kids is like, I promise you that. Life is hard enough without having someone tell you, or try to point out your differences the things that make you self concous to begin with. The things that you probably don't like about yourself. But, heres what you are supposed to understand.. Those things that make you self concous or make you different, are the good things that were given to you.. You are not supposed to be ashamed of them, you are supposed to imbrase them. Lets say you aren't a model, you are a little over weight, or you have acne really bad... SO WHAT! Life goes on. The only person that it should care what they think is you. YOU MATTER! Not anyone else. Now, im not saying go out and tell someone that they aren't beautiful because you are... No, im saying we are all beautiful, we are all different. We are all extrodinary. Just, no one seems to notice that! Why is that? Why is it I can see how amazing some people are, but they can't see it for themselves.?

When I was in 6th grade, I had a best friend, Lisa Combs. We looked just alike, we talked all the time.. She was like my sister.. Well, our friendship went down the drain all because of a few pairs of jeans. NOT KIDDING! JEANS! I was not a child with money, I had a few pairs of LEI jeans gifted to me, from a family friend, because I couldn't afford to buy my own. Lisa all of a sudden hated me! She didn't want to be around me, and when she was, she acted like there was nothing wrong. But, when she wasn't around... She was talking about me, all the time. Saying I was saying things I hadn't. Calling me horrible names because I had a pair of LEI jeans.. I will never understand that.. Why, JEANS!!!!!! >.< But, I guess that's the world of girls. Anyways: I started making myself sick so I didn't have to be at school. I was calling home everyday. After missing months worth of school, my parents got a call from the police saying if they wanted to keep me I was going to have to go to an alternative school, Prestera. (Normally was for children with behavioral disorders, or were on drugs bad!) While I was there I learned many things about myself.. I met my now very close friend, Richie there. The guys in my class gave me the self confidence that I needed to stand up for myself. They helped me understand who I truly was, and what I wanted to do in my life. (I wanted to help others that were going through bad things in there lives, I wanted to help them out of there dark places.) The day before I was to go back to school, I was on the back parking lot playing basketball with some of the guys shooting some hoops! All of a sudden Lisa comes out starting her same old crap, always about how I was stupid, or a slut... then about those STUPID JEANS! So, I took up for myself. I told her she needed to keep her mouth shut because she didn't know me, she may have thought she knew me but she didn't. She was supposed to be my friend, but instead she chose petty drama. But, I didn't blame her because she was a girl, and that's what they were good at. She decided to get in my face, and expected me to back down like all the times before, but instead I just pushed back... I told her she needed to back down because I was tired of it. Her since less drama needed to stop, she wasn't in grade school anymore. Then, I turned away, and walked off. Later that day her mom came down to see me, and thanked me for saying the things I did, because Lisa needed someone to put her in her place.. She wasn't listening to anyone.

To this day, I still love Lisa. Aside from some of the things she did, she was a great girl. She was smart, funny and when you knew her, she really was kind.

Anyways, point of the story, I may not have handled it in the best way, but I learned from the experience. Also, something I have learned here lately is that to every reaction, there is an action. Something that caused that person to act like that. So don't assume that your bully is just a bully... Try and figure out what happened that made them like that, because, they aren't just like that naturally.. <3 Well, I love you guys, BULLYING STOPS HERE! I'm doing my part.. Would you please do yours!
