Cyber-Bully

I was watching the new ABC Family movie, Cyber-Bully starring Emily Osment. It's about a girl who gets bullied over the internet. It's an intense movie and hard to watch. But the sad reality is, it's also a true story. Millions of people get bullied almost everyday at school or over the internet. Not only is bulling a crime, but it's also a crime that can lead to suicide or injury. The reality is, so many teens, children, adults take the abuse until one day they crack. Either they try and commit suicide or they get even...
When I was a little kid, I lived in Germany. Around that time, I was bullied. Almost everyday and it made me so mad that at the time, it wasn't allowed to fight back in school. I was told I wasn't pretty, I had horrible hair, I couldn't sing and I should stop trying to pretend I could sing...I don't remember much of what happened after schooled ended and I went home, but I know that it did hurt. And till this day, I still remember it all like it was just yesterday.
Not only was I bullied in school, but I was also cyber-bullied...I was cyber-bullied for...I can't even remember, maybe since I've been 15(I'm 17 now) and to be honest, I still AM being cyber-bullied...Ugly is the common word I'm called...Weird is another...Strange, crazy, different...And you know whats even sad? Most of these names, expected for ugly, I'm called by one of my friends...
I have really low self-esteem...And being bullied in school was enough. Now, cyber-bullying? Really?...I can't take anymore name calling...I've cracked before, I don't want to crack again b.c of this...Which is why, instead of just sitting by and doing nothing, I'm going to try my best and do something about it. B.c there are a lot of people out here being bullied and they sure as hell don't deserve it...
I'm doing my best to ignore the words I'm still being called. Yes, it does hurt, and yes, sometimes it does break me down...But, I can't let them have that satisfaction of breaking me...And neither can you. You very well, can do something as well about bullying...All kinds. This isn't the last of this post. here will be more on cyber-bullying.
So, comment below...Also, please check out the ABC Family original movie, Cyber-Bully...It's 300% worth it.
