I just love people. All I said is that what this person said to someone was kinda rude but knowing people that have to go all out and say this {look above🔺}. What did I do? Well I left. I could have argued with them, I could have brought my fiancé into it, I could have done a lot, but I left. I didn't wanna be the bully back to them. I don't know what they are going through, but I didn't wanna make it worse. I am kinda fine with what they said. I don't know why but I am. Please, Please, please don't be a bully back to someone who is bullying you, treat everyone with kindness because one kind word or small gesture can save a life.

Stay Positive,
Hannah

If I lost the love of my life I would not be able to live with myself. He is my everything and so much more. We might fight sometimes but we always figure it out. I would feel the same way If I lost someone in my pack or if I lost my pack. How would you feel if you lost the love of your life? Would you miss them? Or would you just carry on with life? Let me know I love hearing from you.

Stay Positive,

The worst thing I have had happen to me is something that I am scared to talk about because I know it can happen anytime, any place, again.. Last year around Christmas - I think the 24th- I went to my Aunt's house for Christmas. I thought it was going to be fun.. but I was a nightmare that I relive every day.. I was sexually harassed that night by my older cousin...

Stay sane,

Do you ever wonder if the person that you talk to online is you true love? Do you ever wonder if they are the right one for you? Do you ever think to yourself that this is the person I wanna marry and spent the rest of my life with? Do you ever think they are to good to be true? I do. All of the time but that is because I care and love them so much that I don't know what I would do without them. Do you ever wonder these, Let me know. Comment what you think and why. I would love to hear from you!

Stay Positive,

What if you were in a war with your significant other and they was on your side fighting by you? Would you fend for yourself, would you fend for both of y'all or would you only fend for them? I would fend for him because, I mean it is gonna become a reality in a few years. My boyfriend wants to join the military and I support him every step of the way. He might be very very stubborn but I still love and support him. He might not always wanna open up but you gotta trust them. They will tell you when they are ready. So what would you do if you and your significant other was fighting on the same side of the war? Stand by them, leave them, or Stand for them?
Stay Positive,
Hannah

Today I choose life. Every morning when I wake up I can choose joy, happiness, negativity, pain... To feel the freedom that comes from being able to continue to make mistakes and choices - today I choose to feel life, not to deny my humanity but embrace it. The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

Why do we bully? Is it to make someone else feel the pain your feeling or is it to be funny? Well news flash It's not funny. It's not a cool thing to show your friends. It's not nice at all and this is coming from someone who almost took her live due to bullying. I don't know what you all think about bullying. I bet some people who are reading this might have been a bully or is a bully.

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it. (According to bullysatistics.html)

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children that involves a real or perceived power imbalance. The behavior is repeated, or has the potential to be repeated, over time. Both kids who are bullied and who bully others may have serious, lasting problems. Bullying can occur during or after school hours. While most reported bullying happens in the school building, a significant percentage also happens in places like on the playground or the bus. It can also happen travelling to or from school, in the youth’s neighborhood, or on the Internet. Children and teenagers who feel secure and supported by their family, school, and peers are less likely to bully. Yet, some youth do not have these types of support. Every individual is unique and there are many factors that can contribute to bullying behavior. A youth who bullies may experience one, several, or none of these contributing factors.
Some youth bully:

to meet maintain social power or to elevate their status in their peer group.

to show their allegiance to and fit in with their peer group.

to exclude others from their peer group, to show who is and is not part of the group.

to control the behavior of their peers.

This needs to stop! Treat everyone with respect and kindness because on kind word or small gesture can save a life.

Stay Positive,
Hannah

There is a strong link between bullying and suicide, as suggested by recent bullying-related suicides in the US and other countries. Parents, teachers, and students learn the dangers of bullying and help students who may be at risk of committing suicide.

In recent years, a series of bullying-related suicides in the US and across the globe have drawn attention to the connection between bullying and suicide. Though too many adults still see bullying as "just part of being a kid," it is a serious problem that leads to many negative effects for victims, including suicide. Many people may not realize that there is also a link between being a bully and committing suicide.
The statistics on bullying and suicide are alarming:

Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people, resulting in about 4,400 deaths per year, according to the CDC. For every suicide among young people, there are at least 100 suicide attempts. Over 14 percent of high school students have considered suicide, and almost 7 percent have attempted it.

Bully victims are between 2 to 9 times more likely to consider suicide than non-victims, according to studies by Yale University

A study in Britain found that at least half of suicides among young people are related to bullying

10 to 14 year old girls may be at even higher risk for suicide, according to the study above

According to statistics reported by ABC News, nearly 30 percent of students are either bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of fear of bullying

Bully-related suicide can be connected to any type of bullying, including physical bullying, emotional bullying, cyberbullying, and sexting, or circulating suggestive or nude photos or messages about a person.

Some schools or regions have more serious problems with bullying and suicide related to bullying. This may be due to an excessive problem with bullying at the school. It could also be related to the tendency of students who are exposed to suicide to consider suicide themselves.
Some of the warning signs of suicide can include:

Showing signs of depression, like ongoing sadness, withdrawal from others, losing interest in favorite activities, or trouble sleeping or eating

Talking about or showing an interest in death or dying

Engaging in dangerous or harmful activities, including reckless behavior, substance abuse, or self injury

Giving away favorite possessions and saying goodbye to people

Saying or expressing that they can't handle things anymore

Making comments that things would be better without them

If a person is displaying these symptoms, talk to them about your concerns and get them help right away, such as from a counselor, doctor, or at the emergency room.

In some cases, it may not be obvious that a teen is thinking about suicide, such as when the suicide seems to be triggered by a particularly bad episode of bullying. In several cases where bullying victims killed themselves, bullies had told the teen that he or she should kill him or herself or that the world would be better without them. Others who hear these types of statements should be quick to stop them and explain to the victim that the bully is wrong.
Other ways to help people who may be considering suicide include:

Take all talk or threats of suicide seriously. Don't tell the person they are wrong or that they have a lot to live for. Instead, get them immediate medical help.

Keep weapons and medications away from anyone who is at risk for suicide. Get these items out of the house or at least securely locked up.

Parents should encourage their teens to talk about bullying that takes place. It may be embarrassing for kids to admit they are the victims of bullying, and most kids don't want to admit they have been involved in bullying. Tell victims that it's not their fault that they are being bullied and show them love and support. Get them professional help if the bullying is serious.

It is a good idea for parents to insist on being included in their children's friends on social networking sites so they can see if someone has posted mean messages about them online. Text messages may be more difficult to know about, so parents should try to keep open communications with their children about bullying.

Parents who see a serious bullying problem should talk to school authorities about it, and perhaps arrange a meeting with the bully's parents. More states are implementing laws against bullying, and recent lawsuits against schools and criminal charges against bullies show that there are legal avenues to take to deal with bullies. If school authorities don't help with an ongoing bullying problem, local police or attorneys may be able to.

People who are thinking about suicide should talk to someone right away or go to an emergency room. They can also call a free suicide hotline, such as 1-800-273-TALK (8255).

Friends and relatives of suicide victims also need to find someone to talk to as they grieve, especially if they are suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts themselves.
