Today, I want to share my experience with bullying and its impact on me.
Childhood was tough for me. I went through a lot of pain, hurt, and discrimination. I was an over weight person who weighted around 300 lbs. It was difficult for me to have friends because I was half-Asian, so no one wanted to be my friend.
My teenage years, they called me names like ugly duck, mongoloid, and many other hurtful words. There was a time when I look at myself in the mirror, despite looking good, I would still feel ugly because of the horrible names people call me.
Despite all the horrible experience, I am thankful because when I look back, it made me appreciate the importance of kindness and goodness towards others. I did not let those names define me and I strive to be a better version of myself.
I want to share this to everyone: For people to love you, its not about how you look or how you project your self in front of others. It always starts on how you treat them. Start being kind, helping and being there for each other. Always use positive words when speaking to people. Always put yourself in others shoes because you never know what they are going through. Never stop helping others when you know they are in need; you never know, you could change their life.
It took me much time to heal and gain confidence and self esteem. It’s a process and it takes awhile. The secret is to never give up, learn to love your self for who you are, be positive, and never lose faith in God. Remember that things happen for a reason. Feel the pain be reminded: in the end you will be ok and there will always be sunshine.
