Keep looking my way. My head is held high. You wanna bring me down? I dare you to try.
So I realized that we haven’t updated on here in a while and I thought I’d take the time to talk about something I see more and more of on twitter and formspring and over the internet. Hate. I’m not sure if I’ll ever understand why and how one is compelled to hate someone else, especially when he/she doesn’t even know that person in real life. For the most part, we’ve all experienced it. Bullying is probably one of the most common types of hate. Abuse is another. Both can extremely harmful, often leading to suicidal thoughts and attempts. It’s wrong, it’s horrible, and it needs to be stopped. If you’ve been bullied or are being bullied, PLEASE get tell someone and get help. In no way, do you deserve to be treated horribly, and the problem can be solved. It’s tough, but please do not lose hope. I’ve heard so many stories of teens who couldn’t take the bullying and hatred and committed suicide because they never got help. Or because those who they told didn’t care. There ARE people out there who care. We care. Someone will help you. If you ever need to talk, just tell someone you trust. Or if you’re not sure who to tell, there are many anti-bullying twitters and counseling sites (dmlive.com is a good one) who will help you.
Remember, no one can hurt you unless you let them. Stay strong. <3

P.S. And as far as haters go, most haters “hate” who they can’t be or what they can’t have. Most are confused admirers anyway. ;)
P.P.S. You can always talk to me or Leah if you ever need to vent/rant about anything. We’re just a tweet/dm/e-mail away.
