So this particular post is going to resemble more to those that I originally started off with so... A rant post. I'll start off by stating that I have come to realise that the higher you go within the education system the more 'bitchier' the people get. Don't get me wrong, this isn't a rant about education I love education, gosh I love learning and the fact that it's free. It's a privilege that many take for granted: many students have parents who have sacrificed everything for their child to receive a better education than they ever did. For example, my parents moved from Pakistan so that they could provide better opportunities for their children in both education and lifestyle. Sacrificing the life they had in Pakistan leaving their loved ones and moving to a country where they are completely isolated. I thank my parents for the chance they took, because if not for them I wouldn't be the person I am today.
GET BACK TO THE POINT!
~I've turned all gushy on you guys, but yes I love my parents with all my heart- moving on~
As I stated the education becomes harder, more interesting and much more beneficial whereas the people become more stressful and annoying. Well annoying isn't even the word, just downright obnoxious really. I have- well was bullied from primary school till the end of year 9 so a good 6-8 years of my life consisted of me feeling bad for myself and constantly wanting to leave and questioning why my parents even came to this country. I was quite rebellious and silly back then, I didn't want help from anyone, I didn't confide in anyone... No-one really knew but everyone secretly did. I decided to take action on the last day of year 9 because I refused to spend another summer holiday of mine worrying and wasting away about coming back to school and wondering what would happen to me next- It's as if god as well as the universe heard my cry out for help and gave me a reason to speak out. A situation took place, which lead me to loose my chill and not physically but verbally attack my 'frenemies' which both shocked them and got them off my back (thank god) and since then I've made it my duty to not allow any other individual to feel like they made me did, no-one deserves to feel small nor powerless to the point of questioning their existence. It's sickening, that an individual is even able to make someone feel like that.
Since the incident of being a victim of bullying, I took it upon myself to change myself. Not my personality, for my personality has always been one of an individual who is optimistic and happy which is a characteristic that many find shocking to see after the years of bullying. They wonder how I got through, and still am today and it's simple really. "Stop caring about what other people think, about you, about what you do everything. If it's not affecting you, and it's not true... What harm can it do?" I've just realised that everything I say to myself, rhymes and I'm not even aware that I'm doing it until I've said it or in this case written it. Anywho, yeah I understand that it's more 'easier said than done' but if you really want to be yourself and be true to who you are then it's pretty much one of the most easiest ways well easiest step to doing so. After you do that, you just maintain a positive outlook on life because what could possibly go wrong? You stay happy because in this moment of time you've achieved what you wanted- and that is to be yourself and when you're true to yourself, there's no pressure of feeling like you're pretending or lying to yourself. There's no constant stress that you're forcing upon yourself you're only human after all. Live for today, because you never know what's awaiting the next day. (IT RHYMED AGAIN WHAT IS THIS)
So to conclude, for those of you who are being bullied my advice to you is get out. Get rid of the people who are causing you so much pain on you. If it's serious, you're scared... it's even life threatening tell someone; and if you don't want to tell a teacher tell a friend who can then tell a teacher for you. Tell your mother, brother, sister, father whoever. You must tell someone before it's too late. You are important. You are special. The world needs you. Aspire to be who you so longingly want to be, and I promise you the right people will come in your life and make the process even quicker and much more easy as well as bright. Heck, I should know I was all on my own doing my thing until I bumped into the right people (literally, I bumped) If I can do it, and I'm now 18 and studying subjects I love and happy as can be... I have no doubt that you can too.
As always, peace & love
