Mage signing in. (I beg of you to read and endure the excruciatingly painful reading time I have put on this page till the end)

I'm back on this white page, typing in black letters, about something which has been bothering me. Why does everyone in school who are bullied have no self confidence? I do understand, that a lot of you are bullied harshly, or you are really shy, or you just feel like a piece of trash the way people treat you. Honestly, if I was in school (no I didn't drop out) I would have a really hard time. I also understand that when people treat you like trash or bully you, it makes you cry, or get angry, or want to punch them until they bleed to death. Or you cut yourself, or do other unnecessary things. Don't get me wrong, this is a touchy subject. There are countless people who have been killed at schools, because of suicide, or they break into school with a gun, and shoot people, then commit suicide. I've cried before over these things, just because of how horrible it is. It's really sad, depressing, and yet,  It's almost as though no one can do a thing about it. Well, you can, but it might not stop the bullying. There are innumerable reasons why people bully, but in my opinion it is in vain. The people they hurt or say rude things to, probably have nothing to do with the situation they're in. When you get bullied, you're like their punching bag. They take their anger out on you because you are known as weak and unimportant to them. When I'm going through a really hard time, I do something most people probably don't do. And no, you don't have to do this, but it always helps me. I take advice from this book.
It's the Bible. Again, I'm repeating what I just said. You don't have to do this. In fact if you do, you don't even have to be a Christian to do this. It isn't rocket science either. It's not like magical letters are going to appear, in golding shining light showing you the way either. I did read the Bible before I was a Christian. I read through it every once in awhile, and I got knowledge from it. It did have to with bullying. I think the one that stood out to me most,was, "You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men." (1 Corinthians 7:23).
I really love just flitting through the Bible when I have a hard time. Even though you might not believe that God is real, you can still gain so much knowledge from reading the Bible verses that a lot of time it doesn't even have to do with God.  
There are other of methods of bullying and how to confront, and I'm hoping to give a small list.
First, if you really have a hard and you're hurting yourself physically, stop it immediately. Causing yourself harm might help you stop the pain of emotional feeling from others and put your mind on something else but it doesn't work. You have to keep going back to hurting yourself and causing yourself more harm, and in the end it makes everything worse. Taking your anger out on your body does not solve anything. It just causes more pain and suffering. Instead of trying to cover up your pain, talk to someone close. I know what you're thinking. "Everyone says to do this." But no, don't just talk to someone and leave it at that, confront the person who has hurt you. Or, talk to that person's parents. If you talk to their parents and show them your cut marks or wounds you did to yourself. It might be really really hard, but if you are having so much trouble as to bring wounds upon yourself, you'll feel better in the end. Don't think that you're trash, or worthless, and be sincerely worried about your well being. Don't hurt yourself because it stops the pain of something else, because you're better than that. When you hurt yourself or feel worthless, you need to realise that if you do anything you can never take back, you'll never be able to put your joy or happiness into the world past the twelve harsh years people put you through. If you want make people smile, endure the pain the comes along with it. Because even though joy may pass, sadness will pass along with it. Even though you may not realize it in your suffering, there are so many things worse than what you're being put through. There are so many people dying every day in different countries because of so many different reasons. If you want to make a difference in all those people who are bullied, go and find something to be joyous of. You shouldn't ignore happiness and only take pain. Because doing that will get you no where. You need to enjoy life and ignore the pain. Take in every happy moment you have. If you do that, you'll feel so different. Every human being is equal. I don't care if you're an orphaned child starving in Africa, or the president of the United States of America. You have just as much worth as the person who's been hurting you. Or the person who you've been bullying. Whichever side you're on, you need to realize that you're just as special as anyone else, and if anyone should say otherwise, they need to be confronted about it immediately. 

Signing out, Mage.

I struggled through it, and it's actually a decent article, especially compared to others of its ilk.

1. This only applies to a certain group of depressed people; those who feel awful, don't know how to change that, but want to. You are the only person who can change yourself, so if you're not willing to change, nothing will change. For those who have just accepted their 'worthlessness', there's really not much one can do, except buy them tickets to see a live orchestra.

2. The suggested method of imporiving one's self. The Bible is actually a brilliant thing to read when you need inspiration. The entire purpose of the book was to make people feel better, and want to make positive change. My suggested solution is going to see a live orchestra, because there's something magical that I found there that I haven't seen anywhere else. This epiphany-inducing experience is surely worth trying to make yourself feel better.

3. People definitlely need to stand up. If you're just letting yourself get bullied, and rolling in your 'helplessness', when you could actually do something about it, that's pretty pathetic. Yeah, that's harsh, but if you're not willing to make a change, the truth could be what encourages you to stand up.

4. People are definitely not equal. Nobody was born equal, nobody has equal abiltiies. But you're correct when you say that everyone is equally as special. Special is probably the wrong word, because it has positive connotations. Everyone has an equal worth, in the grand scheme of things. You're not worth more than me, I'm not worth more than Mrs Mullins down the road. There are some truly brilliant people, like Stephen Hawking, who are worth more than others, but he's 1 in 7 billion.

I agree with you on everything you just said. I really appreciate you reading this too.
I do still believe everyone is equal in no one being more special than anyone else, but I don't believe in upholding other people at a higher standard, and making them feel more righteous or perfect. Because if you do that, I believe that the person you uphold will fall into deceit. Then they might feel as though they actually are better than others. Which is completely wrong. 
Note: When I said human beings are equal, I didn't mean equal as in the exact same.  I believe that equality among human beings is great, then no one would think they were better than others. But that in my sadness, will never happen.

I didn't even read that because the font was really awkward. Change the font into something more readable. Expect criticism once I read it.

Gosh, I don't know why, but everytime you look at my posts and give advice, I always want to change it immediately. It's really weird. Anyway, I'll take the advice this time too.
