Confidence Enables A Person to Try New Things

During my early years I was bullied in and out of school. My first experience with bullying started when I was in daycare. A girl named Kelly started bullying me. Every time I saw her she would talk about either my hair or my clothes or the way I looked. One day, my brother and Kelly’s sister were watching Kelly and I. Kelly’s aunt had told her to leave me alone. And after her aunt left the room, Kelly started pushing me to see what I would do and after a while I got really angry, so I punched her in the face. As her aunt came back in the room, she saw Kelly on the floor with me standing over her. Kelly’s Aunt then said, “Did I not tell you to leave her alone.” After that experience I knew that I had the

I was 11 years old when I started getting bullied at school. A group of ten girls made comments about everything from my facial and body structure to the way I walked down the halls. I would come home only to lock myself in my room and cry. It did not take long for the bullying to take its toll on me. I became incredibly lethargic, miserable, anxious, and antisocial. I started to fake sickness to get out of going to school, my grades slipped, and my appearance became sickly. Slowly, I started to despise the girl who looked back at me in the mirror. These characteristics did not fit my usual self and the people closet to me started to

According to Kelly Clarkson, “What Doesn’t Kill You Makes You Stronger”. This quote represents that every trial and tribulations happens for a reason and it makes others stronger in time. Bullying can be a hard situation to go through but there is always light at the end of the tunnel. In my personal experience, I was bullied throughout elementary school and middle school. In 2008 I was eight years old walking into Grayson Elementary in Grayson, Georgia. It was muggy afternoon it looked like it was the set of a cheesy yet predictable horror movie even worse “Friday the Thirteenth”, but in real life. Bullying is definitely a negative situation but at the end it gets better; therefore, if it’s not a blessing then it’s a lesson.

Salivar Slaughter, who is a justice counselor who work with kids that need help talking out their problems. The most common question being asked and a lot of people have been wondering is “have you ever been bullied?” When I asked Mrs.Slaughter the question, she said “ I kind of have been bullied. Someone hacked into my facebook and posted some things that were bad and inappropriate.” As she described it, her sister comes into her room and told her that there were inappropriate statues being made on her facebook. It was too late to delete the status because there were people commenting on the status which lead to a fight. I also asked her “why would one individual bully another?”She told me “I think when i see they are hurt, they may hate themselves,letting the world know that “i'm tough” and also trying to find themselves.” Another person I interviewed was Mrs. Hale, a counselor at Madison High School. Mrs. Hale has been bullied in ninth grade, she was a quiet, shy girl, didn’t really like to talk much. There was a boy who decided to pick on me, he would sit next to me and ignore me during the ride to school.But it didn't last

Bullying had always been a part of my life. It first started when I was in elementary school and it usually started with little things, such as the fact that I wore glasses or how many people thought I was weird for reading books and being a loner most of the time. Then, it followed me to middle school. People would look at me, point, and proceed to say rude things about me. People would make fun of my clothing and it affected the way I saw myself.

A quote by Shay Mitchell states, “I realized bullying has nothing to do with you. It’s the bully who is insecure.” I’d like to build on what Shay Mitchell said. He is right that nothing is wrong with the victim but that something is wrong with the bully themself. I agree because bullies do what they do, not as much to put somebody down but to make themselves feel more powerful. My position in bullying is usually as an upstander, as I try to help the person who is being bullied. It is important that we realize that a group of people against a bully is always stronger than one bully alone. I’d like to conclude with the fact that bullies can be stopped but only if people care and make an

Andrew Coleman, the author of the article “ Confidence Can Help You Achieve Anything”, points out how important to have self- confidence to achieve a goal and be successful in our lives. In the beginning of the article, Andrew illustrates about one of his precious life lessons that he experienced in his young age. When Andrew was in sixth grade, he experienced a harsh and depressed school life because of the bullying from the classmates. After that, the school counselor gave him a lesson about “ Self- Confidence”. The author got to know what is the self- confidence and why it is so important: Self- Confidence means that you have a strong definite view to yourself, so even others attack you by spreading ridiculous rumors behind you, you do not

Bringing back when I was in elementary/middle school at Soaring Heights Charter School. There were a lot of bullies in my school. I was one of the kids being bullied. I was mainly bullied because of my learning disability. I was also bullied because I was really short back then as well as doing nasty habits. Because of these reasons, I had limited friends and had social issues with talking and making friends.

When I was in 3rd grade a mean bully would always write me mean notes saying that I was ugly and I should not come to school. I never knew why she bullied me, but she made so much of an impact that I left the school. A year later I came back to the school to help out for community service, I bumped into my bully and she apologized for her rude behavior and said it was just because she was jealous. Now I know if someone is bullying you don't just let it happen ask them what's going on and it may be more than sees the eye.

Although they weren't wrong I didn't like the way I talked and then the bullying started getting worse. When I was walking to lunch and recess and even walking to my bus to go home. Kids would start mimicking everything I said and they would slur every letter. Some kids wouldn't even talk to me because of my speech impediment. Then my best friend Chloe Kraft, who i've know since we were babies. started sticking up for me and everything started getting better. But not everyone stopped bullying me and they never did stop.

Never allow yourself to be made a victim, accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself (Tim Fields) because I myself became a victim of bullying. I was greatly intimidated by my opponent for she was much larger than I was but also much aggressive. This moment allowed me to become stronger and stand up for those who were getting bullied as a matter of fact student along with some staff members created a club in which student would go around school overseeing those who were being disturbed or simply arguing to help promote peace and a non-bully society which I thought was a great

Some people believe that bullying is only seen on television or in the movies but it is a real life issue that is seen and experienced by many every day. People of all ages, races, cultures and backgrounds are affected. There are some who are embarrassed to report bullying but it occurs every day, everywhere. It is important to learn about and understand what causes people to be bullies, as well as understand the effects that being bullied can have on a person.It is important for people to understand all sides of bullying, from the signs of someone being bullied to what you can do to prevent it.

I’ve been bullied before, I wonder how anyone else feels about it, sometimes what they’ve done to prevent it from happening again but not me, I just let it get to me. One year and six months ago I was having a very bad time at my school, getting bullied and getting in trouble for no reason, so I decided I wanted to move. My best friends tried to prevent me from going but, in the end, my mom found a house close to a school named, “Robert Taft Middle School.” This was a new start for me and my mom.

Confidence. Some are born with it, some have to grind for it, and others are unaware on how to obtain it. It is something either one has or lacks, but can always be accomplished over time. Self-confidence can loosely be defined as the capability of a person to have assurance in his or her aptitudes and capability. Self-confidence is the key to triumph, or the first step to success and happiness. Possessing self-confidence can help to give wings to soar and develop a high level of passion, joy, optimism and understanding within the individual. It gives the credence that one can challenge the world and pave a path for one’s self that will lead them to their visions and aspirations. This describes exactly why building self-confidence is vital and how crucial self-confidence is to one’s persona. Joy, courage and self-confidence go hand in hand. Courage, in the present perspective, refers to the capability of being able to have faith despite the opposition or complications involved. Fear is the primary adversary of self-confidence and fulfilment. With courage, you overcome all limitations and doubts to follow your accomplished targets. This predictably increases the likelihood of your success. Self-confidence and courage give the control to write one’s own destiny. Helen Keller said, “Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.”

Bullying is a real-life problem today. Bullies are evil because they deliberately hurt others. There is no reason for them to put down other people. Grade school was difficult because I was bullied. I used to be shy and insecure. I didn't have a lot of confidence. My classmates would never include me in anything. I wasn't invited to parties before dances. They would harass me constantly. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt like a failure. I was isolated and ignored; I felt insignificant. What appeared to be a failure wasn't a failure, however, because it wasn't my fault. It was indeed a failure of my social life, but I did not let it define who I was. I never understood why my classmates were so mean to me. I was nothing but nice to them. However, in a strange way, they made me a better person. What I have learned from this traumatic experience is to never treat anyone poorly because I know how it feels, and it isn’t a good feeling. I also learned that I could overcome hardships. My situation may not have been ideal, but I would not change it.
