Bullying

Bullying... The most common form of negativity nowadays. Most people recognizes that bullying starts in school. But no, I don't believe that, I believe it starts from home, the basic unit of society. If the kids were brought up in a family where bullying is tolerated, kids will most likely bring it to school, their second home. 

I was a victim of bullying even in grade school. Though I was consistently in the cream section and was almost always at the top 10 of the class, I remembered being called names because of what I look like. I was a bit on the big boned side when I was younger and most kids see that as being fat. Some mean girls in class would call me pig, fatso, etc. I also have a very sensitive skin that even a single mosquito bite would turn up to be an open would thus causing me to have more tiny scars on my legs and arms. This triggers the mean girls in class to call me piggy bank etc. I was hurt, yes, but it didn't stop me from studying harder and I just didn't mind them until they stopped. 

In High School, I remembered being bullied by this one guy. He's really mean to girls like me, who doesn't have that many friends, and the not so good looking ones. I remember one time before our class started, he slapped my behind so hard that I cried out of humiliation. The last thing I remembered, he was kicked out of that school due to a fight with a teacher. I was also a COCC (Cadet Officer Candidacy Course) and I guess part of the training requires to be bullied by the CAT officers. I've experienced several bullying incidents as well, but it didn't stop me from my goal. After our COCC graduation, I promised myself that I will never turn out to be a bully CAT officer. I decided that if I want change then I have start it with myself. It needs to end there. 

I feel that these incidents didn't come from school perse, they either experienced them at home or see incidents at home that triggers violence or they're also being called names by a family member. 

Please let's all stop the hate. Let's start it with ourselves. Love and respect!
