Loosing The Battle, Winning The War

     I know many of you are probably confused and wondering what this might mean, and well its really simple. When bullies bully you it feels like day after day torment like its never ending, and thats the battle. You put up with it and it makes you feel like crap at the end if the day, as if your loosing the battle. But by waking up day after day and knowing that their is so much more to live for than what they say, you are winning the war. And pretty soon you realize that they are nothing but mean girls. They are just trying to rip you down because someone might have ripped them down so they think that's what they are suppose to do to you and other people. When I was getting bullied I got called ugly,  I got told I had a messed up face and I should just put a bag over my face. It made me so insecure that I thought I had to change myself to become liked. I cut my hair and put on what seemed like a pound of makeup because thats what I thought I had to do to become liked. I transformed into something that wasn't me just to please others and it ended up not working, I still got picked on, and that was a battle I lost. I soon realized that they would NEVER stop even though I transformed and acted different. I let my hair grow out and I wore less makeup I showed the real me and yes I still got picked on but I was being me which made me happy. I didn't want to be the bullies fake barbie doll anymore I wanted to be me a happy, bubbly 15 year old girl. And thats how I won the battle because I realized at the end of the day it doesn't matter what they think, it matters what I think and if at the end of the day I wad happy thats all that mattered. So stay happy and be yourself, because thats how you win the battle by being you and not caring what people have to say about it.
