Time to be Serious, A/N

Okay, guys, I know you were expecting a new chapter but I can't ignore this. Not after what I've experienced that's similar to my middle and elementary years. I received the following PM on Friday, I am keeping the send anonymous due to just how personal it is:

"Hi, I have read one of your old books you wrote several months ago until you deleted it. And I am currently reading both Moving and Mind Games.
I know that you give us all great advice then, so I still think you will give great advice now: I am currently in eighth grade, I've never been bullied till now. In fact, I was so stupid to think that girls couldn't be as mean as they are. I am a huge fan of MIW and I decided to wear my very first band shirt to school, I had no idea they were so unpopular with my school, needless to say I got glares and one girl called me satanic when I am actually the most religious girl in the school.

I just got home and I'm done crying, how do I deal with loving such a great band while dealing with my peers?"

This broke my heart so bad, I hate how people can be so mean for just a like or dislike. I decided to post this because I am sure there is more than one of you who go through this.

Motionless In White is a band that directs most of their music to comforting people like them by screaming what we can't even whisper. They show off their opinions of it all and there is obviously a lot of judgement thrown at them quickly for it. Chris even talks about God and hell or heaven all the time both in interviews and his songs. I live at a school that is filled with Baptist, I myself am a Catholic and I love MIW. My school literally lives for God and going to heaven, I on the other hand have a belief but I don't fondle over it like they do.

Your school might be similar, when a friend of mine wore a Black Veil Brides shirt to my old Catholic school before I went to public school when I was still in elementary and she was in seventh, she got bullied beyond just name-calling. Some people are to wrapped up in a 'I'm going to heaven and the rest of you Satanic heavy metal loving freaks are going to hell.' That they forget that it's just a band and that you are you!
I have been bullied so much in elementary and a little middle school and I know it's not fun, I have been depressed and I am just now getting happy again between my parents and school.

My advice to you and anyone else going through this is to just not care. Don't talk about them, don't talk with them, don't fight back unless it's literally a actual fight obviously, don't even look at them. How people get their pleasure in hurting others is by making their victims care, if you just laugh and smile with your Motionless In White shirt on it will piss them off to no end. If they say something hurtful just shake your head with a weird sigh and then leave, don't even say anything back.

If you are currently to the point where you think suicide is the best option I advise you to think about these problems, then think of the solutions. There is always a solution to every single problem in life rather you need help to find it, go ahead and ask someone close to you. Then ask, what have I done that makes me good and life worth living, can't think of anything? Well here is a list:

You're beautiful/handsome.
You are smart and you are going to graduate.
You will have a family someday.
You have people who care.
You will have a job and be very successful.
You are not what others say you are.
You can change who you are at anytime.

My Dad always tells me that if you don't like how you live then change it, focus on happy things and having a good time. When you feel upset, put both earbuds in and listen to your favorite song while reminding yourself everything will be okay and that this is just temporary.

I love you all and I am here at anytime you need me, all you have to do is PM me or say something at all. Just keep your head up and dry your tears because you deserve to be beyond happy it hurts me when I see such good people like you guys so upset. You will make it through this even if you may have to drag yourself. Don't give up, whatever you have left rather it be a band or someone special, hold onto them.

I promise the next chapter will be up soon, I hope I made you and anyone else better and gave you good advice, baby! Keep that head high and your caring low.

Hugs and hot chocolate,

Dakota.
