There’s always at least one who cares about you

I think, we all know, that we live in a world where (some) people tend to try and bring other people down. And it shouldn’t be like that, I think we all can agree on that.

I used to get bullied quit a lot when I was younger. It already started when I was around 5.
It lasted for years, from when I stared school till the day I graduated and it still happens, but I have learned something through the years.

DON’T LISTEN

I know it’s easier said than done – But there will come a day where you will be able to ignore all the negative nonsense people say to/about you.
DON’T OVERTHINK IT

I know how easy it is to overthink, when you come back home from school and lay in your bed at night. But try not to overthink it. Just keep thinking about the good things. You might have had a really bad day, but I’m 99,9% sure that you smiled at least one time doing the day. Think about whatever that made you smile.
If you didn’t smile, I’m sure that something/someone made you feel good.
Focus on the good – Even if it’s something small.
TALK ABOUT IT
It can be hard to talk about something like this, but it needs to be done. Why? So you don’t sit with it yourself. Something that took me years to realize.
Will it stop the negative nonsense? I don’t know, maybe not, but it’s always good to talk about the things that’s going on. And you can always talk to the teacher at school about what happened and maybe you can help them find a way to stop it. We always tell our parents, sibling or friends about the good thing when they happen. Why not try and do it with the negative/bad things?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE

You might feel alone, but it’s just a feeling – In fact there’s millions of people all around the world who is being bullied (Unfortunately). You might know someone who’s getting bullied too, talk to her/him. Talk to the people around you – The ones who really do care about you. There’s always at least one who cares about you, want to listen, want to help.
YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE

Yes, people often judge others by their looks, but you are so much more. You are a human being with a beating heart. You have feelings, you have humor, you have thoughts, you have so much more than just your looks.
Fine, if people think it’s ok to judge you by your looks, let them. We can’t control them and we can’t force them to get to know us. But if they judge you by your looks, then you know they ain’t worth talking to.

Imagine two people standing in front of you.
One of them is talking nonsense about your looks, the other one is just standing, looking in your eyes, trying to have a normal human conversation with you.
Now, who are you talking to?

You might feel like defending yourself – It’s normal. But would you rather talk so someone who’s talking nonsense to you, than someone who’s trying to get to know you and don’t really care about the way you look? He/she might think “You have really nice eyes” but don’t necessarily say it because the person is really interested in getting to know you.

There’s always one you can talk to, if you’re going through hard time.
I’m sure there’s a number you can call, if you don’t feel like you can talk to anyone around you.

If you live in Denmark you can always call Børnetelefonen
