We all know that in most cases of bullying the victim feels powerless and intimidated. When the victim is unable to withstand the abuse, a series of negative outcomes follow including depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, and in some cases suicide. The side effects of bullying are not pleasant as they can ruin someone’s life. What starts as a superficial joke, or comment on the bully’s behalf is usually taken seriously by the victim especially at a young age. Teenagers are the ones who are easiest influenced by the harmful words. This is how everything slopes downward in the victims life…BUT WHY GET AFFECTED BY THE MEANINGLESS WORDS?
As much as we would like a bully free world, it is hard to control and stop the bullies! However, you do control yourself. Take charge of your life and let those bullies be motivation for you! Those damaging words should only inspire you to prove them wrong. Instead of letting their words bring you down, ignore them! Invest in yourself and become an accomplished person!
