facebook:www.facebook.com/christys.art.…Boys used to call me ugly, but now I know I'm not.
I take self portraits for the bullies who thought they'd break me when really they made me; and to show that you can survive bullying and anything hard in life because I'm still here standing strong.
My bullying story/ letter to bullies from my pastFinally, after several years, I decided to stand up to my bullies.
Thanks ahead of time to anyone who reads this to the end. (It's a bit depressing, but gets good at the end.)
The majority of these are from middle school.
I was a pretty weird kid, You know, the kid that everyone liked picking on.
Since I'm the weird one, the different one, you chose me to be your victim. You chose the defenseless, confused one, just like you all do. That's what you like, you like walking all over and spitting on the ones you know won't do anything about it.
Yeah, it made you feel good, didn't it? If feels good to make someone feel like complete crap. It feels good to make them cry. You think you're better than me? You think you can toss my books around, and laugh as I miserably walk in front of the laughing class to pick them up, and say you were kidding? You think it's all fun and games. You think you can (literally) push me around and tell me to "get out of here" just because I'm weak, frail, and dif

A beautiful attitude before all those who are miserable inside. For that reason, they spread the mediocrity around them making others feel down. You are a brave lady indeed, because you moved on and showed the beauty of the human spirit, and that is unbeatable. By the way, it is a beautiful photo. Keep it up!

Lovely photo.
You shouldn't take pictures of yourself "for the bullies", don't give them that kind of power over you. While they think they have had a hand in shaping you into who you are, they can see they still have a hold on you. There is nothing a bully likes more then to see they can control the actions of others. To see their victims live in their shadow, especially as time goes on.
You've grown into a beautiful young woman, determined to help others feel better about themselves. Become the someone that you wished had been there for you, when you needed someone. A beacon of hope, guiding others through the difficulties life presents them. Be proud of that and all you have accomplished. Take full credit for the wonderful woman you have become, don't give it away to some bully who isn't worthy to breathe the same air.

Thanks. What I meant is I took it and if one of them sees the picture they can see that they don't have power over me anymore

Yes but when they read in your submission comments that you are still motivated by them, then they could conclude that they have.
I am not trying to be a pain in the bum, just trying to say that you should let them say wow, when they see you now. That way, they will see for themselves just how wrong and stupid that they have been.
