Okay so I'm sure many of you have seen this little saying roaming about on random profiles everywhere, am I correct ...

The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for his country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Put this as you're profile if you're against bullying.

And every time I read it, it really annoys me. But I ignore it and don't say anything. Move on and go about my day. But inside my head I so really want to do this ...

The girl you just called fat? She is damn proud of her curves and could care less what you say, so go to hell. The girl you just called ugly? Has a boyfriend who thinks she's beautiful just the way she is. The boy you just tripped? His friends helped him up and asked if he's all right. See that man with the ugly scars? He wears them proudly, because he's a U.S. solider. That guy you just made fun of for crying? Could care less what you think of him. Put this on your profile if you believe bullying is wrong, but you know that not everyone who is bullied is weak. Those who bully are the weak ones, they must tear down others to make themselves feel bigger, stronger. They only win if you let them. Stand tall. Stand proud. Tell them exactly where to put those hate filled words.

That is what goes through my head. Words hurt, they do. I won't deny that, but not everyone who is bullied will react the way that original passage reads. I didn't. I got razed through most of grade school and middle school. I was a tomboy. My real first name sucks and I got made fun of for it. I didn't care much about fitting in and I didn't try. Oh, inside my head I thought about doing it, but wearing girlie clothes didn't interest me. Neither did learning about makeup or who the "in bands" were. I simply could have cared less. I still could care less about girlie clothes. I usually wear jeans and a T-shirt. And if I could wear my high tops everywhere, I would. And I rarely wear makeup and when I do it's minimal. My hair is usually in a ponytail because I am just too lazy to go through the bother of styling it.

Bullies stink and if I knew a way to eliminate them I would. The truth of the entire thing is, you will more than likely never see those kids again after high school is over (some you won't even see after grade school or middle school because when you switch schools they might go to a different school) So impressing them or fitting in with them is a waste of time anyway. Be yourself and forget about them. Who cares what they think? They are not going to make your life's decisions for you in the future. You will do that. Are you really going to let someone else decide who and what you are, how you act?

You shouldn't. See, that's why it's called free will, because you're free to make your own decisions, not because it's free for someone else to take it from you. So champion on my friends. And I shall now be quiet as a mouse on the subject. ;)
