Nowadays, bullying is worse than ever. From cyber bullying, to verbal bullying, to even physical bullying the effects are detrimental and becoming extremely harmful. People may not realize how it effects others, which is why they continue to do it. Some people do realize how it effects others and still continues to bully anyway, which is even worse. I will never understand people who put others down, to make themselves feel higher. As a kid I never bullied anyone, and as I grow up and have kids, I will implant in their brain how harmful it is to make fun of other human beings. Everyone is different and everyone is unique in their own ways.
Most people (especially young kids) think that if they are not in the popular crowd, they are weird and don't fit in. These manipulative children will put into young kids brains that they don't fit in, just because they aren't part of the "cool crowd." Yet, my advice to the people who constantly get picked on is that, it's okay to not fit in. You're allowed to not fit it. In fact, it's better to not fit in. Who wants to be just like everyone else? Ordinary, being "cool," is boring.
Ordinary maybe what young children want because it makes them feel safe and secure, and they don't like being the center of attention. Yet, all the most successful people in this world became who they are now because of how unique and different they are. Take Miley Cyrus for example. She is strange, quirky, and dresses in questionable outfits, but that is why people love her! Being unique makes you stand out. I don't know who wouldn't want to be different from others, because I know I would.
As you grow up, and stray away from childhood, being unique becomes a gift. It becomes something special that every adult sets out to be. It separates you from the rest of the boring, ordinary world. Being unique allows you to be yourself. When interviewing for jobs, these company's want to see something different. They want unique. They embrace uniqueness. If you are just like the twenty other people they have interviewed before you, they will pass by you like a ship in the night. They like seeing different, they like seeing something they have never seen before. Standing out as you grow up is so important, because it allows you to have opportunities that you wouldn't have otherwise.
So, when young kids say that you are weird, or don't fit in, you say "thank you!" Instead of getting upset or crying about it, take it as a compliment, because while they will have the same boring job and boring life for the rest of their lives, you will be out there, exploring, having opportunities that they would never be able to get- which is why it is so important to be unique!
