When someone feels bad about themselves, like they feel like they are ugly. There is always one or two people who say, "you are a beautiful amazing person." But how do you know if they are saying it off of pitty? How do you know they secretly think your ugly or Not? You don't becuase people lie, it's just a natural thing. An "average" person lies about 1.65 times a day. So they lie about 11.55 times a week. 49.5 times a month. And 602.25 times a year. Now I won't go on too much about lying becuase I'll save it for another writing. But when someone says that you look fine, or your not ugly, you never know if they really mean it. You never really know the whole truth. For me when I look at myself in the mirror i think: "I am ugly" and that's becuase I never know the truth, too many people in the world get bullied becuase of the way the look. About 42% of kids in America get bullied. I don't know about you but to me that's about 42% too much. A lot of people who don't get bullied say, " they're just being a big baby" but think about it, being told CONSTANTLY that you are ugly, it hurts your emotions. Pretend your feelings are a puzzle. And there is a big chunk of that puzzle that is happiness. Each time you get bullied, then think badly of yourself, a peice of the happiness disappears into thin air, except it can be replaced. With sadness, and fear. When all the happiness pieces are gone. The sad pieces have taken over your body. That's how you get depressed at start cutting, and thinking suicidal thoughts. But when you work past all that crap, all the crap people say, it's like it never happened only it did. Then you start finding the happy pieces and the puzzle fits together perfectly. Without the happiness pieces you are not who you are meant to be. People say, "they're just changing, it's only a phase," but really it's not. It a like your missing part of yourself. And you struggle to find it. When you get that big chunk of happiness back, you still can lose it. But it's still possible to find it again. When people start getting depressed they usually start seing a person to help them. Which is good. They help u a lot. But when people keep saying those harmful words the depression only keeps being added. Then when you talk to the person helping you, your crying. 

Please if your reading this, help someone out who struggles with beimg bullied, or has a mental issue like depression or anxiety. 

Yours truly

  • I live with depression and anxiety. I was bullied HARD in highschool. many aspects of my life have sucked. in the end i have overcome it all and am stronger than all of it now. Now, i realize lies are difficult to detect. I rarely detect them. in the end you have a few choices. Believe them and live in blissful ignorance because really who gives a @^$# what other people think. disbelieve them because everyones a liar. in this case you should probably live with the mantra that beauty is skin deep and a simple matter of perspective alone. accept the compliment based on the idea that if more than one person says it then its probably true. I mean one person might waste 1 of thier 1.65 lies in a day but not like five. in this case you might also consider the source. In the end Zoey despite what you think your stunning. i have never met you so i cant speak to your physical beauty. You have a big heart and care deeply about some very important issues that you yourself are facing. despite your troubles you still seek to help others and that quality is what makes you beautiful, not make up not cheek bones or breasts.

  • I cannot believe that you just wrote about how I feel. I am not even going to bother believing anybody who says I'm pretty because I know I'm not. I look like a hurrendous monster. I do have a question, though. What if you're reading the story and you can't help anyone because you don't even know how to help yourself?
