Bullying and People
ANTI-BULLYING
Did it ever cross into your mind that you are someone unique? You see, we are 6 billion people living in this one world and not a single person has a same fingerprint. That is how amazing our God created us! You are never an accident. Even the smallest thing on Earth has a purpose. What more you? Even though you see yourself as nothing, God sees you perfectly and loves you the way you are. And that will never change.
I still remember how my classmate experienced such real nightmares back in 2008 when we were in 6th grade. She came from another country after her mother was separated from her father. Since her mother is a Filipino, she chose to go back in her country and started a new life and a new beginning. At school, this girl, my classmate, does not speak at all. She just stares, listens and smiles. As we got to know her, she started telling stories about her life. I knew that she wanted somebody to sympathize with her in order to be comforted. But sad to say, things turned around. People started to hate her and laugh at her. Rumours started to scatter. People were bashing her and let her think that she does not belong because she is nobody. They say bad things about her: tease her with her looks, insult her with her performance, hid her stuffs, and mocked her and all. She never reported anything to anyone. Never did she cried and talk back. All she did was to head down every time people are starting to hurt her.
I feel bad every time it happens. I often talk to her and tell her to fight and show them what she got. I gave her pieces of advice and encouraged her. After all, she just stayed the same. The sad thing here is that there was no one to confront those students who bullied her. She was afraid in saying things so she kept this within herself. And just few days after I talked to her, I never saw her again in school.
In my own case, I never experienced this kind of issue. But even if it is not me being bullied, I know how it feels because
