โI know it feels like the whole world is against you right now. It did for me. But please, tell someone. A teacher, a parent, a doctor. Don't keep it inside like I did. It eats at you. And try to find one person who makes you feel safe, even if it's just online. You are not the things they say about you. I promise.โ
โIf you've just found this place, this time last year I was exactly where you are. I remember a group chat about me like it was yesterday. I'm volunteering here now. You get yourself back in pieces. You're not on your own.โ
โI'm only 17 and I don't have it all figured out, but if you're just starting with bullying stuff, here's what I know. It's not your fault. Even if you think you did something to cause it. You didn't. Telling someone helps, even if it's just one person. My mom was annoying about it but she was right that I needed to tell her. I'm not going to say it gets easy because it didn't for me yet. But the group chat about me stopped and I played football again last week. That's something. The mornings are still hard but I get up eventually. Find one thing that's yours, like my cat Pickles, and hold onto it.โ
โTo whoever needs this: Eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. I remember when my mum says ignore them, like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. You're not on your own.โ
