Bullied

When I was in elementary I am a honor student.. I have my brown skin, long black hair and a chubby body.. My classmates keep on bullied and teasing me "kalabaw"(carabao).. It always make me cry because a carabao had a dark complexion..

I came to the part that I hated my skin complexion.. I always envy my classmates having a lighter one.. I lost also my confidence and enthusiasm in studying.. I always fight and got trouble just to defend myself.. And also had some bad imagination and daydream..

But someone told me that being black is beauty .. That every person had their own uniqueness and beauty.. It was just depend on how you accept and love yourself..

In that way, I become more stronger and confident.. I've learned to just don't mind toxic people and their negative thoughts..

I also learned to love myself, accept and love what I have and gave importance to those people believing in me..

And I'm also happy that "Stop Bullying" is one of the school rules now in my country..

Because we all know words are powerful, we can changed or ruined the lives of each other.. Our tongue is a weapon that we need to use in a positive way..

Let's just spread love and positivity to everyone..❤❤❤
