Hello everyone 🙂
There has been a Hashtag going around on Instagram called #ItOnlyTakesOne from Bystander Revolution, an organization against all kind of bullying. The website is pretty awesome you should definitely go and check it out! Because I think this is a very good cause I decided to create this Stop Bullying – It Only Takes One!! blog post.
The amazingly talented ohmygoshpolish created a nail design for this cause; it’s black & white with smileys. I decided to join and recreate the nail design because I was bullied as a child and through my teenage years so this topic is close to my heart <3
This here is a little something to think about:
The boy you punched in the hall today.
Committed suicide a few minutes ago.
That girl you called a slut in class today.
She’s a virgin.
The boy you called lame.
He has to work every night to support his family.
That girl you pushed down the other day.
She’s already being abused at home.
That girl you called fat.
She’s starving herself.
The old man you made fun of cause of the ugly scars.
He fought for our country.
The boy you made fun of for crying.
His mother is dying.
You think you know them.
Guess what?
You don’t!

I took the last part about reposting out because I don’t feel like telling anyone that if they don’t repost they have no heart…but that’s just me 🙂
But the Quote should make anyone realize that nobody knows what’s really going on in someone else’s life. And one bad comment or one tiny push that might not seem like a big deal at all could just make the person snap!
My mother always told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all!! And that may seem like a clichĂ© but it is absolutely normal to not like everything and to not be sympathetic to everyone.
I come across plenty of blogs or YouTube Videos every day where I eater don’t like the content or the person behind it but I have never in my life left a mean or bad comment. I am kinda proud of that 🙂 Because nobody is forcing you to read or watch something/someone you don’t like, just click away and go do something you enjoy!
If you watch and read things you don’t like it will automatically bring you down and it seems easier to leave a mean comment, but if you watch or read something you are actually interested in it will make you feel good and happy 🙂
Just remember that with your words you can eater make or break someones day!!!
Choose to be kind, nice and supporting!!!
Think before you speak/type!!!
Stop bullying!!!
xoxo
