A blog about all the ups and downs of life, and how one awkward girl deals with things and all she has learned in the meantime.
About Me
- Jessica
- Music, reading, family, work, and friends are just part of a typical day for me. Well, not including the clutziness, the awkwardness, and the general lack of being able to think before I speak. A couple more things about me: I have a serious desire to travel, I am absolutley in love with Chicago, also, but definitley not the least, I am LDS, and I love it.

Smile
I hate bullies. Any kind of bully. It doesn't matter if they shove someone, yell, gossip, or just type words, they can hurt others. For whatever reason, they think that it's fun to pick on others. That it doesn't hurt feelings. I know it does. I've seen the effects of bullying. Cyber bullying and just normal bullying. I know it hurts those you love, and even if the bullies don't know it, it can have a profound impact on their lives. Last year their was an anti-bullying assembly at school. They did tell you what you expected. The stories of the kids in high school, my age, who committed suicide, or attempted, because they were being bullied. A lot of the time it could have been prevented by someone standing up, and being a friend. But no one does a lot of the time. Most people don't want to get involved. They think that then they will be bullied, or their reputation will be destroyed. Well, guess what? Your reputation will be better because of it. And even if the bully comes after you, you stood up once, you can do it again. And now your an example. If other people see that it's not cool, they'll start standing up to. I read a book this summer, called "13 Reasons Why". It was a really good book, although sad. It talked about how the little mean things we do can really hurt a person, even if we don't realize it. How, calling them "loser" jokingly, may hurt their feelings even if you didn't mean it. Simple things can have a profound impact on a persons life. Both positive and negative. Something as simple as a smile might make their day.
