The Beauty Inside of Everyone

Posted: 1/17/2013

Bullying.

Why? I ask myself this question more than once a day. Just what sneaks into a person’s mind to make them say such abusive and crude things to one another? The things that make someone ask themselves "what importance do they have in their life?"

Who could think this is ok? No child, teen, or adult should ever have to feel this agony, and discomfort. No human should ever get to that point where suicide is the only answer. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in 4,400 deaths per year. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it. Who honestly thinks this is ok?

Innocent people are dying every day due to the torture of bullying. What good does anyone get out of making others feel so low about themselves? Why do they feel they need to say things to have power over another person? Why do they need to make themselves look so tough? Why do they need to hurt people emotionally and physically to make them feel better about themselves?

It makes me so angry that people are getting hurt, and killing themselves all over the world and I’m sitting here doing my own thing doing nothing about it. I get so angry at myself, when i should be trying to make a change.

Every person deserves a smile. That kid out at your school that everyone thinks is so odd, has feelings too. To judge people by just the way they look is disgusting; they are the same as the rest of us. Why make a person feel so alone, and unreal. Why make a person feel like they are just a shadow going with the wind. Why judge a person by their colour? Or by the way they talk? Anything. No person deserves this. What's stopping you from saving a person’s life?

Why not at least say hi every once in a while to that kid eating lunch by themselves? You never know that one hi might change their life. It could make them realize they aren't invisible to everyone. Is that so hard?

If your friends are going to judge you because of that why are you friends with them? Why not help them too? You could help them make a change too.

If your being bullied, there’s hope. There’s hope in everyone’s life you just have to stand strong, and wait for it. Call for help, every life on this earth has meaning. Go on an adventure; find why you were put here. No one was ever put here to feel just abandoned. High school will be the hardest time of your life. But after that is a whole new life just waiting to happen. Every person has beauty inside of them. Every person deserves to feel happy.

A change is all I’m asking for. To help those kids bullying, and the kids dealing with the pain of being bullied. Suicide is not the answer. It's never the answer. You’re loved by someone out there, and always will be. The people saying your life isn't worth the fight? They're wrong. Don't think negative of yourself, put a smile on that face and stand strong. Show that your better than those cruel people out there. Start making a change for the better in your life. Help others, make people smile, show them that they mean something, and show them that there’s a better life waiting for them out there. This world really isn't really that bad of place. Help spread the word and make people believe it. Help those aching hearts all around the world.

Stand up to bullying, and help show the beauty inside of everyone. Stop this chaos, now.
