Bullying Support Check-in: Monday February 5th, 2018

Hello everyone! How is the group doing?

Here is a list of positive affirmations, for those of you who are coping with bullying:

~

"If you have peace inside of yourself, nobody can touch you, no matter what happens."

"The more that you believe that a bully is wrong in their actions, the more it won't bother you."

"I cannot control your words or actions towards me, but what I can control is how I let them affect me, and I choose not to give you the power to ruin my day, or to destroy my soul."

"Bullying says more about you, than it does about me."

"Everyone is unique, and this should be celebrated, not stamped on."

"Everyone has worth, no matter how you try to make me feel that I don't."

"I choose not to let you hurt me with your words."

"Nobody deserves to be bullied, for any reason."

"Bullying is never one's own fault."

"Everyone is deserving of equal treatment, and respect."

"The only thing that matters is one's own opinion of themselves."

"This experience will allow you to become stronger."

One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but it can never be taken away unless it is surrendered.

If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.

What if the kid you bullied at school, grew up, and turned out to be the only surgeon who could save your life?

Be yourself. Don't worry about what other people are thinking of you, because they're probably feeling the same kind of scared, horrible feelings that everyone does.
