How To Not Lose Yourself While Being Bullied
I’m going to be straight up here. Sometimes, when you’re being bullied, there’s nothing you can do about it. No matter what you do, sometimes you just have to live it out and hope for the best. The only thing you can do that will work for sure, is to not lose yourself, even if you’re being bullied for being yourself. Be yourself, forever and always.
1. Let it out.
Sometimes, you just need to let it out. Try venting to an adult or some close friends about your situation. Chances are they’ll understand your situation or give you some great advice on how to handle it. If you aren’t the talking type, try writing poems, stories, songs, or keeping a journal about what’s going on in your life. Trust me, it helps.
2. Listen to music.
Even if you usually don’t listen to music, listening to music usually helps me through tough times. Music that relates to your situation or “power” songs about self confidence are the best. I listed a few to help you get started.
“Mean” by Taylor Swift
“Wings” by Little Mix
“Skyscraper” by Demi Lovato
“Hall of Fame” by The Script feat. will.i.am
“Defying Gravity” from the musical Wicked
“Gives You Hell” by All-American Rejects.
3. Read.
Reading always gets my mind off of things. All books are good books, but just like music, reading something that relates to you always makes you feel better. If you’re looking for comfort, try reading a book from your childhood that you enjoyed a lot. If you’re looking for a book that will make an impact, read Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson.
4. Join a club/group that highlights your interests.
When you’re being bullied, you may just want to curl up on your couch in fetal position and eat chocolate ice cream all day, but sometimes that’s not the way to go. Try joining a book club if you like to read, a creative writing club if you enjoy writing, a choir if you enjoy singing, etc. When you join this club, you’ll feel as if you fit in and no one will judge you. You’ll also make some new friends!
5. Find some power quotes.
One of my favourite things to do when I’m down is to read inspiring quotes that I can relate to. Search up “inspirational quotes” and find some that inspire you or let you know that you’re not alone. Once you’ve found your favourites, try illustrating them or writing a story inspired by it.
These are all the pointers I can give you. Give them a try, and make the best out of your situation. Good luck!
