Now I can take the jokes at times because they are from family and I can dish out as good as it gets. But what happens when someone you don't know say something mean and hurtful? Or When you are super sad and your family doesn't help by adding the jokes in there?
These days a lot of people are becoming more aware of the fact that bullies are mean spirited and they are everywhere. The youngest bully known started at the age of 6. Now I know bullies has been around for a long time but now has awareness because of social media. The suicide rate is growing and it's growing fast.
A lot of kids and young adults don't know who or where to turn to and believe suicide is the best way to go, well it is not.
Words has impact on us whether you mean them at the time or not it can lead to someone unhappiness. As I said I have been the butt of the jokes but they do hurt even when it is meant not too. I read on the news everyday of someone killing themselves because of the ugly words someone has called them or the contest teasing and bullying. Well "STOP" its not cool.
You should really be mindful that not everyone is the same. Some can not lose weight faster than the rest of us, or they can not get the Jordan's because their parents does not make as much. You can not knock someone else unless you walked a mile in their shoes and Lords know the lot of you guys do. So please be mindful of your words and remember those words can be damaging.
