Advice from a bullied girl

I never liked autumn. Autumn meant school, and school meant spending another nine months with people, who disliked me.
And not like I could do anything about it.
At age 10, I have faced one of typical teenage dramas - changing schools, since I moved away with my family.

To be honest, whole "what if noone likes me" and bla bla, never bothered me. It's not that I had a huge ego and thought that it was impossible to dislike me, I just really believed people would treat me the way I would treat them.

Oh how wrong I was.

For a while, I did not know what to do with that situation, with all the hate and witty remarks I was receiving. Telling my teachers sounded wrong and parents only brushed me away with "it will stop eventually, when you all go to high school".

Then it was "it will stop, after you graduate, because you guys gonna grow up and get over silly childish arguements".

What a bullshit.

If there is one thing I learnt in these 22 years of my life, it's that people will always judge you. It's impossible to grow out of being a complete asshole if you were born with it.  

People will judge you for the way you breathe, talk, carry yourself, for things you eat, wear and do, and the best damn thing to do is to ignore them.

It's in our nature. The less we know about something, the quickier we are to judge it. Don't let ignorant people ruin your life, only because they don't get what you are doing (unless it's something illegal...then you should stop).

Do what's best for you and hold onto people, who support you.

You want to dye your hair green? Go for it.
Want to jump with a parachute? Why the hell not.
Wanna make a blog or youtube channel? Just do it!
I am here and I support you right now, so go go go!

This life is yours, and you, only you are responsible for the memories you fill it with, so as long as you can, dare to be yourself, dare to be original. xx

  1. I love this post and your daring attitude! All that matters is that you're doing what makes YOU happy. I learned that after years of trying to please everyone around me. You go, girl!
