This is an open letter for people who are being bullied, as for the one who is bullying someone. Everything in life is about love. People learn how to walk, to talk, to think since they were little by watching someone else. Because of this, society conditions human beings into what they'll become in the future. Many people were born in great environment for growth. But many others were left at their own to discover how to manage their emotions. We just must teach our kids that people make mistakes, and sometimes they are hurting deep inside, and the only way to ease that pain is to inflict pain in others. This doesn't mean is acceptable. Although, it must be understandable. Kids are the most important part of our society, because they'll become the leaders and healers. In fact, children are the victims of what they experience in life, and are forced to grow independently of what kind of knowledge they earned in their short life.
As teenagers, we start to show different kinds of attitudes towards the problems we face. Some of those attitudes are classified as "normal", but some others are the first anticipation of mental illnesses we develop because of trauma. What can cause trauma? Anything actually... Since the lack of attachment, we get with our mother and father since we were a baby, the bad grade we got on an exam, to a break up with a partner, or the accident we suffered as an adult. Many experiences in life can lead us to feel unwanted, rejected, or worthless. In spite all that, we must understand that we can't control everything in our lives. And we are worth more than we think of. People being bullied need to understand that the person who is hurting you is needing more love than what he shows. That person hurting everyone is crying for someone to care enough, and tell him that there are boundaries he needs to respect, and needs to stop. He maybe grows thinking that inflicting pain in other was the only thing he can do to feel accepted and respected.
Those who are the bully, please stop hurting people as an excuse to feel better. Because hurting someone else is just making your pain worse. And the circle of violence keeps going until one day the pain you caused can damage someone badly causing people their lives. We need to start channeling the pain we have, and speak out loud. Don't let anyone bother you with their opinions because that won't determine the person you are. The person you will become will be that person you decide to be. With every day action, and every motivation to embrace good in life, we can all learn to behave accordingly we are supposed to, ignoring the way we might have been mistreated. Because we are better than the ones that hurt us. We have that world changing capability. Just need to emulate love, and love you'll get.
