There’s always hope
Things may seem hopeless now. But take heart. You won’t have to deal with bullying forever. Life does get better!
Hope, Your Best Ally Against Bullying
Bullying is a war unlike no other. It’s the fight of your life. It’s a battle in which there’s no clear cut enemy.
Bullying is a situation in which hope is your only ally. Don’t lose it! Because, in losing it, you also lose morale and the strength to keep going.
Hope enables you to look to the future. It gives you strength and the wisdom to know that whatever you endure in the present will eventually pass.
It encourages resilience and gives you the endurance to go on. Hope gives you confidence. And with confidence comes the determination to reach the finish line and win the race.
Hope opens doors. It’s that still, small voice that whispers, “Keep going. You’ve got this!” Holding onto hope fuels success in helping you to attain your goals and desires. It’s the will to persevere during the toughest of times and go after your dreams in life.
Never lose hope. Because if you lose it, there’s nothing left.
There’s Always Hope:
Please Hold On! The Best is Yet to Come!
People may bully you now but they won’t always. Although the bullying is intense- even unbearable, the struggle is only temporary. And I do not say this lightly.
Some of you may be thinking… “But she doesn’t understand! Nobody understands!”
“She’s isn’t suffering, and she doesn’t understand the hell I go through every day at work or at school!”
However, I do. Why? Because, once upon a time, I was stuck in the same spot that you are in today.
I know what it is like to want to smile, laugh, sing, and dance only for others beat it out of you. Also, I understand the pain of wanting to believe in yourself and see your own value.
You try to feel good about yourself, only for others to repeatedly and seemingly deliberately drum into your head that you are nothing.
I Feel Your Pain because I Experienced it.
To want to speak and use your voice, only for people to silence you! You want to just live in peace but others won’t let you.
They only threaten physical harm, further degradation and humiliation. School staff threatens suspension or expulsion. Your supervisor may threaten you with the loss of your job and livelihood.
Moreover, others may sabotage your opportunities! I know all too well the desire to move forward and go places, only for bullies to hold you back.
To want to escape the torment, only to be stuck in a toxic environment with toxic people, against your will! I know the horror of knowing that others curse your very existence and bombard you with death threats.
I know what it feels like to have others force you to sacrifice your own needs and wants for their own satisfaction! And to see others getting gratification and entertainment- all at your expense!
I know what it’s like to be marginalized, shut out, and devalued as a person. Additionally, I know what it’s like to even be slapped, kicked, beaten, scorned, disregarded, walked on!
There’s Always Hope:
“Are you dead yet?”
It is a feeling of being run over by a truck, whose driver then stops, throws it into reverse, and backs over you again. The driver then shifts back into drive and mows over you- yet again. He then stops the truck, opens the door, sticks his head out, and asks, “Are you dead yet?”
Bullies don’t only want to hurt you, they want to destroy you.
And any signs of life- any whimper or movement only encourages the driver to close the door, shift into reverse again, and back over you again. He just keeps running and backing over you until you finally succumb to the trauma and die.
Yes. This is akin to what targets of bullying endure. Bullies want to destroy you. And it seems that they won’t relent until they are sure that they have done just that.
But know this. You will not have to deal with these people forever, and Karma does repay – in spades! If you keep believing in yourself, you will become successful and happy. And when you finally get there, your bullies won’t even matter to you.
The Resilience of The Target of Bullying
Understand that we, as humans, know what we need to nourish and flourish. Therefore, if we’re not getting what we need and want in our current environment, we’ll get it somewhere else.
Targets of bullying are like flowers that lean toward the sunlight to grow. So, if you’re a target of bullying, you will find someplace where you’re accepted. You will find friends. You’ll find love, and you’ll find happiness.
My bullies weren’t able to keep me bullied and broken. After I moved to a new school, their power ended.
I was no longer within their reach. As badly as they wanted to, they couldn’t keep me under their bootheel forever. I moved on to a place with people who accepted me as I was.
Understand that bullies can only keep you down for so long. They can’t do it forever. There’s always somewhere people will accept you – just for being your awesome self. Always remember that. There’s always a better tomorrow!

If You’re a Target of Bullying, Here’s a Message for You
Many bullied kids (and adults) are dying by suicide. This should hit home with many people because the suicide rate among bullied kids and teens is astronomical!
It certainly hits home with me because I attempted suicide at age fourteen after being bullied for several years. But I survived, and things got much better once I left that toxic learning environment I was bullied in.
Therefore, I want you to know these truths.
1. You can overcome bullying and move on to a better life.
Know that You CAN Overcome Bullying!
You are beautiful! Smart! Awesome! And one day, you will cross paths with people who will see your worth and love you.
Moreover, they will love you unconditionally – just for being YOU! You will find a teacher, school, supervisor, or employer who will see the good you bring to the table. A
These people will view you as the asset you truly are! Don’t give up. You are worth fighting for!
2. The situation you’re in is only one chapter of your life, not the entire book.
Whether you’re being bullied in school or the workplace, know that this is only one chapter. It’s a trial. Therefore, things won’t always be this way.
You’ll move through it and better days will come. I promise!
3. There’s Always Hope:
There are better ways to handle bullying other than taking your own life.
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Moreover, if you take your own life, your bullies automatically win!
But as long as you have breath in you, chances are that your life will get better. Moreover, these people won’t always be in your life.
Therefore, don’t let them win. Stay strong and push forward. Know that life eventually gets better!
4. You must love yourself regardless of what others think.
Loving yourself in an environment that hates you is an act of rebellion. Therefore, be a rebel. Continue to love yourself, no matter what.
Why? Because it will pay huge dividends in the end.
5. You are just as good as anyone else, regardless of what people tell you.
All you have to do is believe it with every fiber of your being. Never allow your bullies to make you feel inferior.
Hold onto your self-belief!
6. There’s Always Hope:
You can do anything you set your mind to if you believe in yourself.
Self-belief is powerful! Therefore, if you have a goal, work on it until you achieve it. Don’t give up!
7. You Can educate yourself about bullies.
This means you must learn their mindsets, their tactics, and the damage they can do. Therefore, read and study everything you can about bullying.
The more you know about bullies and how they think and operate, the better off you’ll be. Why? Because knowledge is power! Therefore, the more you learn about bullies, the better you’ll be able to protect yourself against them.
8. Recognize the beginning symptoms of low self-esteem and find ways to fight it.
The key to protecting your self-esteem is to know when it’s about to take a nosedive. That’s the time to double down on your self-belief.
Moreover, it’s also the time for self-care. Therefore, show yourself compassion and do the things that make you feel good. It’s the only way you’re keep your self-esteem healthy.
9. Know that if bullies take your confidence, they can alter the course of your life.
Your life is yours. Therefore, when people bully you, you must fight like the devil to keep your confidence intact.
Why? Because it could be the difference between a life that’s rewarding or a life that’s difficult.
10. There’s Always Hope:
You have more power than you know.
Power isn’t only power you have. It’s also power you think you have. Never allow bullies to fool you into thinking you’re powerless.
Keep standing up to bullies no matter what. That’s how you keep your power.
11. Confidence is the key to a better and more rewarding life.
When bullies are attacking you at every turn, it’s easy to lose confidence. Moreover, it’s easy to lose that positive attitude you once had.
If you aren’t careful, you’ll begin to doubt yourself and give up on your goals.
Therefore, if you’re a target of bullying, I want to encourage you to hold your head high and keep the faith. Stay true to your own heart and follow your dreams. Know that it won’t last forever and one day soon, things are going to change for the better! I guarantee it!
There’s always hope! the purpose of this post is to give you the encouragement you need to stay in the fight and continue looking forward to a better future.
