Sticks And Stones

Sticks and stones may break your bones but some words could surly hurt: maybe more than you think. Many kids get teased in grade school and while teasing starts in elementry, the teasing only gets worse with harsher words and harrasment in later years like high school. A little teasing now and then could make you stronger as a person but being teased your whole life could leave you a miserable scare that will affect every part of you. While over comming these obsicles may seem impossible,the matter to solve it really lies with you.

Having a funny name that rhymes with a mean word is a common culprite to elementry ridicule, but haveing non name-brand clothing or a physical medical condition is a very common reason suicide, depresstion, and other mental dissorders happen in teenagers. What would cause people to do such mean things. Sometimes there hidding there own insecuretys. Everyone has them and people cover them by making someone else feel worse. But other times, its just the cool thing to do. Making people miserable is how some kids show how tough they are. if you feel like your the only one in the whole entire world that feels like this think again.

As a teenager in high school I was teased for being overwieght. It not only left me with low self asteem but a feeling i wasn't good enough to be here or have fun doing anything like everyone else did. I made school theripists look foolish because they judge you and analys you like everyone else does. I wasn't alone. I new many people went through the same thing and not everyone handled it the the same way. A new found importance in my life made me become the person I am today: happy.

I Found out in the later part of high school that no ones oppionion really matters to me . Yeah, they could make jokes that sometimes hurt my feelings but its how you look at yourself thats the most important. Take a great look at yourself and say, "hey i only live once and why should anybody tell me how i'm supposed to look, praise, and dress." Trust me when i say it doesnt happen in one day but try because regret hurts worse than then any mean joke ...EVER
