Nobody Deserves This

You may be going through bullying right now, but know that you didn't deserve this. Nobody deserves to be bullied, for any reason. Many people all around the world are being bullied for the exact same characteristic(s) as you are. Some reasons include: disabilities, race, gender, social status, appearance, and sexual orientation. For all of the pain you may be going through as a result of being a victim of bullying, just know that there are people out there, who are going through the same thing as you.

When people bully, they are taking the stance that something is wrong with you. Nothing is wrong with you. Something may be wrong with you in the eyes of the bully or bullies, but there is nothing wrong with you. People bully for all sorts of reasons. Some of these include: to feel powerful, having their own personal issues, having their own personal motives and desires, wanting to cause harm to an individual, etc. Just because all of this negative behaviour takes place, it doesn't mean it's right, or justified. Harassment towards someone is not warranted, in any situation. It is also important to remember, that a bully is not above you. He or she is bullying you for flaws that they perceive that you should not have, yet there are many flaws which the bully/bullies hold themselves. Therefore, any judgment or criticisms is essentially baseless, when it is seen that everyone has their own set of personal shortcomings.

If you are being bullied, stay strong, and know that there is nothing wrong with you, and there is no reason for people to bully you -- it is a fault on the part of them. You haven't done anything to deserve this.
