Dear Bully

Dear Bully

This is the 15 year old girl you called fat. She spent the night crying in her room skipping meals and comparing herself in the mirror. This is the 12 year old boy you called gay, He spent tonight scared of the rumours being spread around school. This is the girl you pushed down the stairs, She spends her nights alone scared when the next beating will come from the man she doesn't know her mum picked up one night.

This is 33 year old me, Bullied from aged 11 the memories still scarred in her brain. Her mental health affected because the memories will never go away. Never feeling comfortable with who she is and how she looks. Because your words cut deep, Into my heart into my head. Spends her night searching for skinny photos wishing she looked like those girls the media portrays because then maybe you might leave me alone. I am sorry your twisted mind thinks Skinny is perfection.

This is me taking a stand. You won't ever know how much your words hurt me because I laugh it off and fake a smile, It does hurt and I wish for one minute you could use the brain you claim to be so clever to stop and take a look around. But no you won't because you think you are clever, but you are not. You are a far from it. 

You think being rude about people's weight or sexuality or gender is clever. Do you never read the news? Do you think it is right a parent burying there children? It should never happen but it does and that's because teenage suicides and eating disorders are on the rise. And it is on the rise because of people like you. People thinking they have every right to bully those who do not fit your image of perfection.

Dear Bully what went so wrong in your life? What if it was your sister brother partner etc being bullied? What would you do then? Go get some help, Do some research because you are obviously hiding your own insecurities.  We do not deserve to feel your pain and your own torture. Would you even care if it was someone you knew in this position?
