Experiencing bullying is such a devastating feeling anyone could ever had. Through a simple joke and tease it is mostly leading to a person’s overthinking of, is it really true of me? or most of the time, A person is having a very low self-esteem and self confidence in portraying themselves because their own personal capabilities is tested most especially when they are into new things to explore and expound more of themselves. Bullying at school makes one feel unsecured and unprotected because school is a second home that most of the time a child has more time to be engage in rather than having time with their own family. Family nowadays is different from before, separated one’s are now very timely. Having a separated family affects a child’s insecurity over so many things, and as a child of separated parents uphold my burdens of insecurity in every aspect of life. Looking good is the hardest task to show of to others, because at the back of it was a child of burdens and insecurities beyond their family and a child who is being bullied at school.
Handling bullies is for brave souls because if one can surpass those kinds of people with regards of what their carrying or hiding behind themselves is such a courageous and bravest thing a person could ever done. No wonder why there a lot of youths who had been attempted suicide and some successfully committed it, not that they are not brave and courageous but because they are tired of fighting battles all alone.
