Have you ever just wanted to scream, "Leave me alone,” because maybe there’s someone at school or work who constantly picks on you, criticizes your every move, how you dress, look, talk, or even your background? 😔 Well beautiful, it’s called bullying and it can be really hurtful.😢 It’s also something that can happen at any stage of life. It can happen at home within families, in school, at work, or even with friends. And just like racism, bullying is all about discrimination and can leave really lasting hurtful scar.🩹
What’s interesting, are the reasons why people bully. Often times people tend to bully out of jealousy, fear, ignorance, envy, or simply not knowing how to be a friend because deep down inside, they really do like you. But there may be something about you that they admire and wish they had. Remember, it's more about them than it is about you. If you're facing bullying, know that it's not your fault and it’s important to reach out to someone you trust and share what you're going through. I get it, no one wants to be a snitch, or feel as though they can’t handle a situation, or look weak. However, you are stronger than you know. You are also capable, and deserving of respect! So don’t be afraid to open up – it doesn't make you weak; it's the bully who should feel ashamed and embarrassed. 🌸
If you ever find yourself on the other side, as the one bullying (hopefully not), take a moment to reflect on your actions. Apologize to those you've hurt and make a sincere effort to show kindness and empathy. We can end the cycle of bullying by being understanding, accepting, compassionate, and willing to change. 🍀
As Dolls, we need to stick together and support one another. If you notice someone being bullied and they're afraid to speak up, be their friend, lend an ear, and encourage them to seek help. We need to create a community where kindness and acceptance prevail over hate and discrimination. 💕
You are valued, important, and have the ability to make a positive impact. Stand up against bullying, support each other, and spread love wherever you go. Remember, you're not alone; we're here to support you. 🦄
Stay strong, be kind, and let's make a difference together. 💪💗
