Strong Enough

     I'm not sure if you all have heard the song Strong Enough by Matthew West and/or Savior, Please by Josh Wilson but they both talk about how they aren't strong enough to do some things on their own and they need God's help. Well I agree and I know for sure you can't do anything without God. It's a given. I'm not trying to turn this bullying blog into a preaching blog or anything like that. But I recommend y'all look into it. If you're dealing with something and you just need to know that someone is there, if you're a bully and you don't know how to stop. if you're being bullied, if you're losing touch with someone close, if someone close to you just passed away, if you're really sick, etc. If I'm having a bad week and either on of those songs come on, I can feel God just speaking to me. He pulls me through I never would have been able to do on my own. So I just encourage that whatever you're struggling with, that you just turn to God. 
Talk to Him. He is the answer.
   
"I know I'm not strong enough to be everything that I'm supposed to be. I give up, I'm not strong enough."
 If you honestly feel like there is no one you feel comfortable to talk to or that you can trust 100%, God is the answer. He is the answer, the first answer and always will be the answer. I know these past 2 blogs haven't been long and this one isn't really focused on just bullying, but I feel like they pertain to the cause 100%. Don't forget to look up BOTH songs with the lyrics, they will speak to you.


"Isaiah 41:10"

MUST WATCH

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1g9RV9OKhg&safe=active

     ^^^^^^^^^This is a must watch clip. An absolute must. So, I don't know about all of you but that makes me want to watch the movie. This is the real deal and it speaks to me like I know it speaks to you. That little boy is gold and so is everyone else. Don't treat them like silver. Each and every one of us is worth more than 29347389274856198374 pounds of gold but that doesn't give us the right to act the way we do other people. I'm going to keep this blog short and simple because I feel like the movie speaks a lot but not quite enough. The rest of the speaking is your voice telling yourself what you should and shouldn't be doing. If you're not the bully stop the bullies because your making just as bad of a decision as they are by not doing something about. So do something about it. Say something and preach about it. Be about it. We are it but together, we can stop this and God willing we will stop this because I'm so tired of seeing it. I'm going to go out of my way to be the difference and I couldn't give 10 craps about what people think about me when I do do it. "We when come together, we can do anything." Be the difference today tomorrow and for forever after that. You'll be rewarded with more than you can imagine because you've done what no one else will.

Cyberbullying ... Part 1

     Have you ever added a friend on Facebook who uploads two million pics of herself/himself 24/7? Have you ever looked at those pics and said, "ew, look at that skank" or "ew, she died her hair AGAIN?" or maybe even, "she is not attractive', "shes ugly" "hes fat" "she got tattoo? she's just trash" "if you upload one more picture of yourself, I swear"... 
     Have you gone to school and heard someone say, "did you see that picture she/he uploaded on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc., like what the heck, they aren't even attractive" or "she had her shirt up so you could see her hip, talk about a skank". Now, have you ever looked at them and said stop? Have you ever felt better after saying/thinking things that? Well I sure hope not. I know I never have. I know that some of you (including myself) like to talk bad about those people because it simply boosts your self confidence. A ton of you will disagree with me and what not but that is the 100% truth and a proven fact. The only reason we are petty and rude about those kinds of things are because we want a boost of self confidence. But if you think about it, in return, you may feel better about yourself, but deep deep down, you feel like a guilty little crap head for being like that. LET THEM DIE THEIR HAIR. LET THEM SHOW THEIR HIP AND GET THE WRONG ATTENTION LIKE THEY KNOW THEY ARE GOING TO GET. LET THEM learn their lesson. They know what they're setting themselves up for. They know people will talk smack about their pictures. They egg on the the rude comments because they like the attention
That's key everyone, They. Want. Attention.
     Ever think about what goes on at their home or why they're like that? There's a reason for everything. And things like that are never good reasons. Think about something before you say or think something. Maybe that girl doesn't have a relationship with their dad. That girl will crave attention from guys since she doesn't get it from what should be the most important man in her life (other than God). Maybe they were sexually harassed at some age? I know that some people who get sexually harassed are the opposite of "trashy" but something like that can and most likely will completely turn that person's life all the way around. They will want attention. Therefor, they will do whatever to get attention. What I'm trying to say here is, 
you don't know their story, so don't read it out of context.
     And for those of you posting the pictures getting talked about, don't post pictures like that. I mean, if you want attention THAT bad, get the good kind of attention. Be a nice person, smile at everyone and have a good start to everyday. If you struggle, pray. Talk to someone. Don't talk to Negative Nelly and talk to someone that you know is uplifting and encouraging. Help yourself.

Bullying is Everywhere

     Hey everyone! I would first off like to apologize for not doing a blog in like 1534229374893274.3  million years. I've been super busy :( So I apologize. & the last thing I want to do is drive people away because I know people need this. So once again, I'm very sorry and always keep updated. So now I would like to get to the bottom line,
Bullying is EVRYWHERE.
     We all know that it happens in schools. It happens in offices. It happens at the mall and the grocery store. It can even happen in church, yes, in church. The most cliche thought is that it happens in high school or middle school. Elementary school is now struggling with it and they have no idea what to do. Can we help? Sure, why don't we? Coming together as a whole and fighting against bullying. Remember, be the difference. In jobs there is bullying. Let's say you're job is to call people and tell them what money they do and don't get after an accident. Let's say the accident was their fault so they don't get any money and they don't agree with that. Some people will react rudely and immaturely, calling you every name in the book and then some. You're walking in a grocery store and you a 16 year old with 7 month along-sized stomach. You see the woman in the same aisle as you look her up and down with disappointment. THAT'S BULLYING. Nothing makes you any better than that 16 year old girl. Nothing at all. So what gives you the thought that you have right to act like you stand on higher grounds because I'll tell you what, 
we're all standing on the same ground.
     That man you just yelled and screamed at, he's doing his job for crying out loud. Let him be and don't bully him for your actions. Just because you don't go to church every Sunday doesn't give members of the church the right to treat you less or to talk about you other members of the church. Your relationship with God is your relationship with God, not theirs.
     So all of you being bullied, what do you do? You pull a smile on your face and ask them how their day is going. Show them is doesn't bother you because it shouldn't bother you. Their opinion to you is useless. The only opinion that matters is yours. If you're upset with yourself forgive yourself. We're human so we will all make mistakes. Forgive yourself and make it a goal to not make that mistake again. Learn from your mistake and don't let others bring you down. 
"The people who are trying to bring you down are already below you."
     We're all in this together and you will never be alone. Remember, talk to anyone at all because there is always someone. You contact me at "haleysmith75@gmail.com". I'll always be there and you can count on it.
