Being bullied, in general, sucks shit. Over the past few months, after a misunderstanding of sorts (I said something for a reason, and someone took my words and not my reasoning and turned it into a reason to hate me), I have been a victim of bullying. Maybe not in the traditional sense but I feel like I am being bullied, who the fuck is there to deny me that fact, of how I feel? I have been taking so much shit over the past few months for my words, I decided that I should fight back by staying silent at first. I thought that I was taking their words and ignoring them would be, in a sense, standing up against them, because thatâs what they wanted right? A reaction from me, but oh how wrong I was. Me sucking it up, it would go away eventually, that whole mentality was so wrong for my situation.Â
 My silence has allowed my bully to feel that they could say anything and no one would object, and after a while, no one did. I have been called so many different names, âcuntâ, âloud mouthed bitchâ, yadda yadda. Of course, mainly only to my best friend, I have expressed my worries, my thoughts on it, but I thought that if I said anything to anyone else against this bullying, that I would be talking shit and would give them more reason to talk about me in a negative light. I am here to tell you, NEVER FUCKING TAKE SHIT LIKE THIS EVER. Iâd say stand up against your bully, but every situation is different. In mine, I have no opportunity to do anything to stop it, because over a while, group mentality has caused me to be hated by âeveryone in my yearâ according to my BEST FRIEND. I have no one to stand with me. I have no choice but to stand alone, but I plead to anyone who reads this, whether only 1 person reads this or thousands upon thousands do, please, if you hear or see anyone being bullied, help them, defend them no matter what, and act as a support system for them. Â
 I turned to one my closest confidants, to help me take action, but the conversation turned on me. I was told that there was obviously something wrong with me. Because so many people hated me, I needed to change myself because being me, made so many people despise me. âWhy donât you listen to their reasons, and change yourself. Not for them!! But for yourself.â I am someone who is somewhat proud of who they are, but honestly, hearing this made me feel as though everything about me was so wrong. I was told that being outspoken was the reason they didnât like me (amongst many other things). I was confident in my own skin, but at the time, I donât feel that way at all. I was told to take their words to heart. âThe reason they do not like you is because youâre insecure.â well I fucking took my confidants words to heart to appear more meek and subtle (which completely failed) and I just canât win. Everyone contradicts each other. I canât please everyone.
  Then I realised, in a society that was slowly taking away reasons what I loved about myself, that this was all TOTAL FUCKING BULLSHIT. Instead of listening to them, I am going to fucking listen to myself. WHO THE FUCK CARES WHAT THEY THINK? No one should hear any of this shit. ever. You donât live to please anyone but yourself. If they donât like me for who I am, FUCK EMâ. I am my own person, and if you donât like me, take a fucking hike, because I am here for me, not to please you.
