Facts that adults don’t tell you about bullying

- Communication doesn’t work on bullies. Telling a bully they’re making you feel bad is the wrong way to go. They want to make you feel bad. That’s the point.

- being kind to a bully doesn’t always mean they’ll stop. Sometimes it means they’ll just use your kindness to manipulate you while still continuing to bully you.

- not every bully has a sympathetically tragic home life. Sometimes people are just mean. Sometimes people just get off on hurting others.

- on that note, a tough home life is a reason, not an excuse. You don’t have to put up with bullying because somebody’s life sucks, just like you don’t have to let someone mug you because they’re broke.

- in order to forgive someone, they have to apologize first. If your bully has not apologized to you, you do not owe them anything.

- getting bullied as a kid can still mess you up in adult life. Maybe kids grow out of being bullies, but the marks they left often don’t go away.

- there are ways to get people to stop bullying you, but they almost all involve being mean back.

- as long as parents keep raising shitty bullying kids, there will be bullies. No amount of assemblies and hand-drawn posters will fix the problem. It’s the parents’ fault.

Stop apologizing. You don’t have to say sorry for how you laugh, how you dress, how you make your hair, how you do your makeup, how you speak. You don’t have to be sorry for being yourself. Do it fearlessly. It’s time to accept: this is you, and you gotta spend the rest of your life with you. So start loving your sarcasm, your awkwardness, your weirdness, your peculiar habits, your unique sense of humor, your voice, your talents, your everything. It will make your life so much easier to simply be yourself.

Despite Their Differences

Jackson and April were a symbol of what the world needs right now. They were opposites but they never let them stop them from coming together, being together, being there for each other. Jackson was from money, April was not, Jackson is a person of colour, April is not. April is religious, Jackson is not. April grew up in a traditional family, Jackson did not. All the issues that we use to divide us these days, they faced and they fought through. Japril was one of the most layered, intricate couples on Grey’s. They weren’t a fairy-tale, but they fought for one. They’re the couple that understood love isnt always 100% from both all the time. They are the couple that was aware of their differences but want so badly to make it work. They are the couple that you want to root for, that you want to win. They are the couple I was so torn over because you could authentically see where they were both coming from when they disagreed. It was so raw and so real. It was magnetic

In a day and age where we toss things aside so easily, where it seems if things are different we leave it there and move on, it was so refreshing to see a couple that fought their way through that, literally and figuratively.

In a world where our difference continue to divide us, we were enamored with the couple that through their difference saw belonging and acceptance, saw each other down to their core as humans, saw each other as love and wanted the whole damn thing, differences and all.

10 year old Yemeni girl smiling after she was granted a divorce from her husband- a 30 year old man

Here’s what I found after looking into it. 

Nujood Ali was nine when her parents arranged a marriage to Faez Ali Thamer, a man in his thirties. Regularly beaten by her in-laws and raped by her husband, Ali escaped on April 2, 2008, two months after the wedding.

On the advice of her father’s second wife, she went directly to court to seek a divorce. After waiting for half a day, she was noticed by a judge, Mohammed al-għadha, who gave her refuge. He had both her father and husband taken into custody.

Indeed, publicity surrounding Ali’s case is said to have inspired efforts to annul other child marriages, including that of an 8 year old Saudi girl who was allowed to divorce a middle-aged man in 2009.

BUT In 2013 Ali reported to the media that her father had forced her out of their home and is withholding her money granted by publishers. Her father has also arranged a marriage for her younger sister, Haifa.
