My speech on bullying;
(which I will be presenting to my whole
school)
Hi everyone! You probably know who I am.. But if not - I'm
Nicole. Yep, I attend school here! Ok, so.. today - I'm here
in front of everyone to discuss a topic that has changed mine -
and many others lives... BULLYING. I started to
get bullied around the age of 12 when a girl called me ugly. I
didn't know how I was ugly but I assumed I was fat.
Soo, I starting skipping meals every once in a while. Little did
I know, it would soon turn in to bulimia, anorexia, and self
harm. You see, because of just a few words - my life would never
be the same. I don't want ANY of you to go
through what I'm going through. Because let me tell you.. It
is not fun AT ALL. Now - I heard something
that I'm going to share with you; Suicide rates among 10 to
14 year olds have grown more than 50% over the
last 3 decades. Yeah - 3 decades is a long time, but more than
50%? Seriously, guys? That's not right. We could help make
that 50% go down to 0%. How? Don't bully. If
you see someone being bullied - take a stand. It will make you
and the victim feel a whole lot better. And, if you're
being bullied.. Tell someone! Get help, okay? We need to take
control and put an end to all bullying. Yeah, it may take some
time, but if we work together and work really hard - it.
will. happen. Oh.. and if you self harm or just
need someone to talk to - you can talk to me. I'll always
listen. ALWAYS.
Guys, you're worth every penny. You're here for a reason
and you are not leaving until you find that reason. Yes, I
understand times are hard. We're in a dark tunnel, but
there's light somewhere. And we will find that light
together. I may not show it but I love you guys. Each and
every one of you. Please, let's stop bullying.
Stop it once and for all. We can't just ignore it, right?
Okay, don't hesitate to talk to me! I'm all ears all the
time! Thank you all for letting me talk to you. And - one more
thing..
justkeepswimming.
It's really stupid, to be honest, that making someone else go to theese extremes, can make someone else so happy. Think before you speak.
Good luck, don't be nervous, there's absolutely no need with a spech like this. :)
Knock 'em dead on behalf of all Wittians! <3
Sorry if that sounded mean, but I want people to know what you want to tell them. I read your other quote about what happened at the talent show and I think you are so brave for standing up the bully in front of so many people! It sucks that you got detention, but you are making a difference by being yourself, and I am glad that you want others to do the same. Keep going, you have a lot to say and you should share those thoughts with the world :)
Stay strong, you're amazingg! :3 <333
