Bullying is an repetitive aggressive behavior that usually done by students to their fellow students. Bullying can affect a person drastically, I, for one, had been bullied.

When I was a child, I used to be bullied by other children. They would make fun of me, because of my appearance, that I look too old and tall for my age. My playmates would always leave me when they saw a more suitable kid to play with. Then, they would also say to me, "While she's here, we're not friends with you, okay?". As a kid, I would agree, I was not aware that they were only taking me for granted. There are some times that they would make me do an errand and when I got it wrong, I would be punished. One time, I was punched in the stomach, it was painful. There are older people watching but they don't seem to care.

Well..to sum it up, as soon as I entered elementary, I became a quiet kid at class. Few friends, can count them on one hand. Those friends I had when I was a kid, we don't talk anymore. Not that I care. My elementary days was good, I learned how to stand up for myself and I was finally opening up and happy...but of course, it didn't last.

Highschool arrived and the first days were okay...until I was dumped by my so-called friends to be in a group. From there, I was branded as a "weirdo", they would talk behind my back, make fun of my mistakes. All those confidence that I had flushed at this new challenge, I instantly gave up. I won't go to school. I would just cry on my bed. My mother would talk to the teacher. Still, no use. I became depressed and it lasted for years.

But then one day, I looked at the mirror, and told myself..."why do you let their words affect you that much?" That was the time that I realized, I do not have to please people for them to like me. I can be just me and those people can just mind their own business if they don't like me. A person can never be alone. No one walk alone. No one. You may have no friends, no family that cares, or anyone. You still have you. Love yourself first before others love you.

Also, who knows the footprint in the sand? 

One night I dreamed a dream.
As I was walking along the beach with my Lord.
Across the dark sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene, I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand,
One belonging to me and one to my Lord.

After the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that at many times along the path of my life,
especially at the very lowest and saddest times,
there was only one set of footprints.

This really troubled me, so I asked the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said once I decided to follow you,
You'd walk with me all the way.
But I noticed that during the saddest and most troublesome times of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I don't understand why, when I needed You the most, You would leave me."

He whispered, "My precious child, I love you and will never leave you
Never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints,
It was then that I carried you."

Fighting, we got this haha.
