Bullying???? When will it E V E R stop ??????????????

Lately, I have been seeing young people committing suicide over bullying over the past few years. I ask myself every time I read a terrifying story… When will this all end? Is life really that tough? Why do people feel it’s okay to bully somebody else? BullIying has been going on since life itself and nobody knows what the “victim” is going through until their dead. [Sad, but it’s so true] It’s like how do we know these people are going through something? Where are the signs? I think the signs are there, but we don’t think it’s a big deal because we’re not in their shoes. We don’t really understand how it feels. [I have been bullied before, but that’s another story I will share some other time]. The recent bullying stories that caught my attention were both Tyler Clementi and Amanda Todd. It’s sad to see people losing their life because they feel they don’t deserve another day to live when they do. Why bully someone to death? Matter of fact why bully someone period? If you are being bullied, experienced bullying, or know someone who is being bullied this post is for you. You are not alone. Remember this world is cruel as it is. It’s sad to see someone end their life because they feel alone. Even celebrities go through bullying with the media and the harsh words that are thrown at them on a daily basis. For example……..

Chris Brown is probably one of America’s Most Bullied Celebrities. It’s funny the media look at him like he’s a monster. I don’t have to go in detail to say why or what happened we all know. I feel like ever since “that” we all lost Chris Brown. The kid who was only sixteen from Tappahannock, Virginia. I honestly don’t think nobody paid actual attention to him at all, but I did. It’s something about Chris that I knew and could tell he wasn’t truly happy with himself and how life was going. The media finds every little detail about him and bully him every day for his mistakes. I’m not ashamed to admit that when it happened I was in Chris corner. [Although I love Rihanna I understood her too]. I just couldn’t see myself hating him and bashing him like some people do. If your reading this and you know you’re a Chris Brown hater by all means I don’t care about losing a reader over my opinion. If the bullying don’t stop I feel we’re going to lose Chris and God forbid that’s the last thing I EVER want to think about. People need to understand that he has feelings too. Words do hurt and I know he’s tough and he always saids on Facebook he blocks the haters, but I know some of the cruel things run across his mind. It’s funny how every little thing he do the media tries to twist it to make him into a bad person. What about the good in Chris Brown??? Like, how is promoting stop the bullying, the give backs towards the kids back to school in VA and other states, or how he ended one relationship because he didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings or be a bad guy. Why can’t we see the good in this guy? He’s a good person I promise you. Don’t judge him or anyone of that matter. I’m going to be real I cried when I watched the Don’t Judge Me video because I truly feel like that’s really how he feels. No one should ever feel this way. EVER….So to Chris and all the other bullies you are loved no matter how you feel. If nobody has told you today or in a long time that they love you remember Ra’chel Crider does. I love you and I will do anything to help you. I mean anything. I have a big heart and I am always welcoming people in. Don’t let the devil fool you and trick you into thinking your worthless. Choose life!!!!! God has you here for a reason and live for him and yourself even if you feel the need you can’t. It will get better I promise. Somebody is on your side and that’s me. I don’t judge nor do I hate. You are beautiful and blessed. Don’t ever let anyone rain on your parade.

SIDENOTE: I AM WEIRD, RANDOM, NERDY, AND DIFFERENT. PEOPLE BULLIED ME AND MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS AN OUTSIDER. I TOOK THAT AND RAN WITH AND BECAME RA’CHEL. I LOVE WHO I AM AND THAT’S SOMETHING NO BULLY CAN TAKE AWAY FROM ME. I CHOSE TO L I V E!!!!!!!

“It gets better. It seems hard, you know, I think being different is always gonna be a tough climb. There's always gonna be people that are scared of it. But at the end of the day you give those bullies, those people, that are so ignorant, if you give them the power to affect you, you're letting them win. And they don't deserve that. What you're doing by being yourself is you're keeping it real, and you're being really brave.”
