Thought of the Day:1

I am a nobody that can relate to somebody, somewhere in regards to growing up
being different, not being accepted for who you are or what kind of person you are.I've always
been fat ever since I was a kid and let me tell you being bullied through out your teens is not
fun and believe me I am surprised I have survived like I did, barely ,but did survive.
As I watch the news, it makes me feel better that bullying is being treated very seriously
but at the same time unfortunately it had to take how many suicides to finally after all these
years for schools to realize the severity of how much it can have an affect on oneself.
I too know that and it pains me so. But to those who feel hopeless, I wish I could
reach out and say if you fight back ,words are your friends an confidence is your
armor because no one can take that from you and you can become this invincible
person that you can beat the bully at its own game, I've done it .
It took me awhile just like anything that is painful to realize that I love me for me
and discover other people like me for who I am, just because I am confident.I turned everything
I faced as a kid that was bad and turned it into strength and not only made me stronger
but also made me that much more wise at life and how tough it can be but you can survive
anything .I developed a saying that fits me like a glove "If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't
be who I am today".With that said I wish someday people would accept each other as human beings
and not be so segregated by religion,race,color,size or lifestyle because in the end we are all
born in this world the same way and we leave this world the same way. That is just my thought.
