CYBERBULLYING - Action is Needed!

I put out a request a while back asking for bullying testimonials, anyone who wanted their stories shared anonymously. I received one today and this is honestly heartbreaking... A girl was cyber-bullied, and without names or age, or any personal details being used as promised here is her story.

A girl liked a guy and he liked her, well his ex girlfriend wanted him back and she found out about the feelings between the two of them. She had his old log in information to a social media account and decided to go on and text the girl he liked. So this girl thinking she got a text from the guy she liked opened up to some really mean comments which she tried to reply to with the nicest, most upstanding nature, but this..well this tore her apart.
Cyber-bullying is very real and this is a real example.. People don't realize the impact what they say can have one someone, this is the kind of message that drives a person to kill themselves, and its sent all for what? Jealousy that the guy she wanted liked someone else? Bullies think that they can hide behind the internet, that because they said it online it will have no consequences.. well that isn't true. Here's a reminder to cyberbullies, what you say online stays online, a simple screenshot got this girl proof of what was said to her just like it can any other person. Once something is online, it doesn't disappear or go away. People need to start thinking about how their actions and words will affect others, this is completely intolerable and not by any means okay! Bullying and cyber-bullying alike are fights that no one person can win alone, we need to come together! We wont ever be able to stop bulling completely but by coming together as a unit, we can work to prevent it, we can save lives that words so frequently have the power to take in our society, by coming together we can take the power a bully hold over someone back! We can turn it into kindness and start a butterfly effect that's actually worth seeing. I want to say thank you to the person who sent this to me for sharing her story, I hope this has opened up your eyes as a reader as much as it has mine as the writer...

Open Mic

Today I really want to bring the focus back to what I truly believe is worth fighting against. Bullying is becoming more prominent all across our state and country. All we hear about however is the same speech of how bullying is bad and hardly any solutions to stop it. Today I'd like to take a different approach.. Do you have a success story of bullying? Have you been bullied? Or do you know someone who's been bullied and wants to share the story of how they rose above and overcame it? The biggest satisfaction is given to a bully when they see that they have inflicted pain or hardship.. lets work together and show bullies, show the world that we have come out strong. Lets take away the satisfaction given to bullies.    If you or someone you know has a story that you would like featured on this blog as well as "My Journey to Miss Teen International" blog, simply email me @kaylagirl0501@gmail.com All stories will be posted anonymously for the sake of privacy.

Life Boat

  There have been several topics on my mind and heart the last week. So I pray right now that God present them here the way he wants them written and understood. One topic I'm sure I've touched on before is uncertainty, however I feel it is more relevant now than possibly ever. In this world the only certainty we havw perhaps is uncertainty, key words here; this world. As I've mulled this topic over in my mind a couple things have become clear: -uncertainty forces growth of faith. -community and relationships are of utmost importance.  -In an uncertain world and constantly uncertain times, we as humans need Jesus, our rock and savior more then ever before.  -Lastly (for now) we need to be building our boats to withstand rough waters every day even as the water is still so that when the inevitable tsunami hits, the storm of life won't wash us away. This analogy sums up most of the main points, together with those whom we are building relationships, we should be building...

Positive Outlook

Heya! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've had a pretty hectic week at horse fair but I'm back now! The topic I would like to focus on today is "positive outlook" , this can be having a positive outlook on anything and any situation which is why I love it. Broad topics become more interesting to talk about as they can branch off so easily. You can have a positive outlook on life in general or specific areas, maybe your always positive and optimistic in one area but another needs some work. When we realize where we need to work in our lives to improve ourselves than we can continue to grow. Its our flaws and mistakes that give us room to grow. Now positive outlook can be pretty difficult, I mean we're human so who naturally wants to be positive about a tough situation? Yeah basically no one and for those few of you that do I commend you because that truly is a great trait. For those of us who are not super humans , I would like to really stress the need to...
