I want to tell you story which changed my life forever. I was about 13 y.o. when I've started to being interested in EMO culture and I was changing my look. I had different hair colors, I had also dreads, piercings. I was looking for look which could be comfortable for me. And since that time I've became outlaw for my classmates. We had different looks for everything: in clothes, music taste, life style... They did not understand me. they began to beat me. First I was weak and I was crying "why did they do it with me?" I remember my spoiled sneakers and ripped clothes. They wanted ruin my life just because I had unusual hair color and piercing! Then I was tired to be weak, to feel sorry for myself. I decided to fight. Now I am not gonna being humiliated by anyone.
I am really sad to see cyber bullying. I know some people can not see rudeness, they have too kind heart. I want to support all of them and all people who who has ever faced this problem. I think people who hate you don't deserve your attention. Don't waste your time for convictions, it is useless. In my opinion if someone said any rude words to you it means he has not own personal life and all he needs is to find someone for bullying. Just forget about him and live as you did before cause only your family deserves your attention and emotions.

I was bullied a lot in grade school, then at the beginning of high school I was a little bit of a bully for the first year and once I noticed I was doing it (while trying to be cool) I stopped, but i did learn a lot from it. Then the next three years i wouldn't pay attention to people who tried to bully me, but if they did it to my friends i would make them feel way worse about themselves for it. Then in college i decided that may not be the right thing to do and instead since then i have worked on being able to refute anything anyone says based on their parameters of logic or my own. I can make them second guess anything they say (especially if it is mean or rude) to anyone. Now i don't run into a situation i can't handle is a way where i don't attack others for their insecurities (which i can spot a mile away). I use that skill to make people feel good as often as possible and try to teach the logic competency skill to people who want to learn, like my nephews.
