I have heard my last story of some teenager committing suicide over bullying. This doesn't make sense to me. Where are the teachers, friends, or even the parents to protect them? Plus, where are the self-confidence or school mentors to be there when these kids need someone to turn to? I going to show you how simple and easy it is to overcome bullies because I too was bullied.

1. Know Your Bully: People who bully other people are insecure about something about themselves or simply jealous about you have that they don't. I was bullied for my weight and brains. I made the mistake of acting out at school or avoiding school all together. I didn't fine peace from bulling until I got into high school but I remember one day that because of my size the bully felt threaten by me. I still don't understand why even to this day but I know my figure has gotten sexier over the years plus I later found out that she has personal family issues.
2. Befriend an Adult: This can save your life! Befriend anyone who understands you and willing to listen to your every tear, can stand up for you. Whether a teacher, principle, or a family friend, just anyone that you can feel safe. I had many mentors but I never felt safer than going to my Aunt's house. As rare as my parents and I visited, I begged to go see her in Philadelphia. I knew even when my parents couldn't help, I found sanity.
3. Never Try to Fit In: Why do this to yourself? Don't walk into the trap of trying to get them to see that your "cool". Instead accept that your not and make friends with other "not cool" people. Trust me there's strength in numbers... there's a lot of un-cool people than cool. (That's why being "cool" is SO exclusive.)
4. Switch Schools: If the bullying gets to the point you can't take it and no one is willing to listen, switch schools. I know its not that simple but even I had to beg and plead to my mother to switch schools. I'd even refused to go to school unless I was going to different one. At least this way your parents know that there's something is going very wrong.
5. Its Only Temparory: High school is only for four years (I was bullied from elementary through junior high)... once you go to college who cares about bullies. There's no bullies in college just jerks and we have all handled a couple of jerks, if you made it to college alive. In college, noone is going to care what you look like, what you wear, who you hang out with, or even if your cool. Make college your goal and eveything will be alright.
6. Help Others Who are Being Bullied: Want to be cool? Be a hero. If you see bullying going on, don't film it unless your going to turn it in to the police but save them. You never know they can be your new best friend.
7. The Older You Get the Better It Will Be: The older I got the more beautiful I became and those people I were being tease from have there own lives too. The thin got fat and the fat got fit. Don't expect an apology or anything, just move on. As I said before its only temporary. Will I hang out with them like old buddies? Maybe never but I will be facebook friends with them and post how great my life is going. I also include photos of in outfits to show off my figure (oh, I have gotten a few "I wish I wasn't mean to you" messages asking me out on a date). I managed to stay child free and single... they -on the other hand- are either married with kids, divorced with kids... or some other sad story. Understand that they are going to go there issues too, your just more equipped to handle any drama.
8. Love Yourself as Much as You Love Your Favorite Musician: Whether its a Justin Bieber, Michael Jackson, or Lady Gaga, you know you can't live without hearing their music. You should love yourself just the same. I'm a huge Michael Jackson fan. When he passed away, of course, I was sadden but I know I have a massive collection of his music. I listened to it all day long the following day. Just like music, you are the song and your life are the lyrics. When your feeling down just listen to music that fit your mood and let it go.
9. Don't Even Try to Think the Reason Your Being Bullied is Because They Like You.
10. Have a Mantra: Find uplifting quote, or a person to post on a wall or mirror that you see everyday. Or say something to yourself that will build confident. I use to write on my mirror with lipstick "I will always be beautiful to someone else." That let me know that even though the people now might not like my size now but I knew someone will and I have suceed at that many times over.

So, no matter what your going through the bullies are suffering too. Just walk away and live your own live. To every rainbow there's a pot of gold at the end. Don't let negative people get in your way.
