"You aren't trying hard enough. Try harder."

I'm trying the hardest that I possibly can. I really, really, really am trying. But apparently that's not enough.

But the thing is, that there will always be people who will try to bring you down by saying that you're worthless and unloved.
But the thing is that they are only bringing you down because you are already above them.

The thing is that those horrible words you said to you, they stick with you. And sometimes they come back to mind and you just think, "What if I'm not good enough? What if I am still all these things?" Bullies don't realize that what they said will always come back to haunt the victim of their bullying."
