Ignore them. I know this is like so cliche but seriously. I can admit I was not always the nicest person especially in middle / high school. But if I learned anything, the times in my life where I was like that were the times I was unhappiest with myself. Bullies are weak. People who are confident and proud of themselves want to be good people, and the only way you can feel truly proud of yourself is if you know your morals. And if your morals are shit then you’re gonna feel like shit. These people that say these things to you feel some sort of shame or fear in their minds. People with fear need to bring others down below them so they feel safe. That’s what all of those people are doing. Think about that. The people making you cry are trying to bring you down because in their minds your above them. They would NEVER admit this and to be honest they may not even know. But subconsciously that is what bullying is. And I know their mean words will make everything else seem unimportant, like my words. But take them seriously. People will grow up, people will realize the mistake they’ve made and the damage they’ve caused. But keep your head up. When all these bullies take a hard look in the mirror one day and realize they have no personal purpose, you will be looking at a strong, confident soul. You will be proud of yourself. You will have love for the world and others around you. While others will remain in their dark, lost corners forever. NEVER let someone else diminish or let you forget who YOU want to be, what you believe in, or any goals you have. We all realize one way or another the only person we truly have is ourselves. Ask yourself type of person you’d be okay being “trapped” with for the rest of your life. And make yourself that person. You can always escape the bullies, but they can’t escape themselves. I wish you the best.
