Hey M Girls!
Our M real girl this month is Sarah Wisely, a girl from Pennsylvania who suffers from a rare form of Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder (a condition that makes her really nauseas and throw up all the time). And that's not even the worst part. Sarah constantly gets bullied by her peers! You can read all about Sarah's struggle (plus, how YOU can avoid bullying) and the one famous person she turned to to help her through the pain in our new issue -- on stands now!
Let's dish:
-What advice do you give teens who are getting bullied? Do you witness bullying yourselves? Let's help each other out and give each other advice on the subject -- it can make a difference!
Ignore the bully, or tell them how you feel! If that doesn't work, tell an adult or a teacher!
well the whole bullying thing is happening right now for me. i think you shouldnt worry about what they say and just know that everythings will get better . and it will come back to them .
That is no reason to bully someone
This story that I read really did make me feel like i am not alone. At my school, i get bullied soo much and the thing is i dont ffit in with the other 5'2" girls. Im 5'9" and 13 which is very very tall. Though i do not have a severe condition like Sarah, i get picked on constantly because of my height as well as other things. My only advice to Sarah that i have used is i would definitely talk to a teacher/adult. Express the problem to your parents, teachers, etc. You are not alone and like what these other 3 commenters said you (and I) should NOT be getting bullied.
I really agree with snappleisawesome that there is no room for bullying in this world... come on! We're all human and i think that prejudice,racism,and stereotyping can get out of control sometimes! So no one should be mean to someone just because of their looks,race,color, or who they like(Hollywood celebrities)!
i agree with you guys tht is no reason to bully any one! i am also being teased right now. *** is spreading roomers about me and my boy friend. so ur not alone!
DEMI LOVATO IS SO NICE AND INSPIRATIONAL
your not alone. no one really likes me in my grade. i got called fat and today i got whipped in the face with a lunch box and started crying and had to go to the nurse. i know that sounds funny but its not. it really hurt. that happened today and i never wanna go to school again
Omg, thats so weird i read this story last night, and it was soo sad, that i thought that you should put it on the site. I feel so bad for that girl. And people are calling her ugly, she's very pretty. At least she found a friend. A friend that everyone wants to be around, Demi Lovato. I would be suprised if the bullies are still bullying her after having a really famous star on her side. And the bullies even brought her dad into it! Well, at least Sarah is strong enough not to stoop to their level! You go girl! :)
ignore the bullies, cuz they are wrong. everyones different and thats what makes them beautiful..
ok, a little off topic, but i have to let this out. i just got the new issue today and turned straight to chicken soup for teens (after reading nick's story =]) and i almost cried. that is so sweet! i wannat tell my crush that i like him this valentines day, and hope i get a good response!
that is so mean about the kids not caring if she died
bullies are people but when they hurt someone else's feelings it isnt nice. i havent been bullied because i tried not too. one thing that i did was not let anyone get to me and if u do get bullied dont let that person get to you, if they say something thats hurtful just ignore and talk it out to someone. but if that doesnt help u can atleast try to stand up for urself
She is beautiful. I wonder what part of PA she lives in. . .?
I do not understand why people are such jerks. Every person has their flaws and they should be ashamed for bullying. Girls are all self-conscious one time or another. . . and if your a bully and reading this you'd better knock it off. You're the reason for self-esteem loss to girls across the world. Each and every girl is pretty and deserves to know that. I suffer from a disease myself and life changed completely. Last March I had to be taken by a helicopter to a hospital far from home. It is not curable what have. I need shots 8 times a day.
So if you are a bully, you'd better quit it please. . . I have been bullied for what I have as well. SO PEACE TO THE PEOPLE!
Hurting People Hurt People!
Well, i no sum girlz who bully people just for confidence. And they make other people feel bad so they feel like the bigger person. And most of the time there jealous because of something you have that they dont.
I say to just ignore the bullying. If it's really bad, like constantly or physical, then get a responsible adult to help you. Don't be afraid that you will be a "snitch". They will take care of it and if they don't, go to someone who will. I witness a lot of bullying at my school and I get bullied myself sometimes. I just try to ignore the people and hang with the people that like me.
thats so horrible why would you bully someone like that
whatever comes to my mind at that time. i let the person know but i make sure that i think its the best thing to do and if someone was giving me advice that i would want to follow it too. I think that everyone witnesses bullying at least once in your life time. sad to say but bullying is constantly going on in schools and i dont think there is a way that you can escape it. but there are ways that you can learn to ignore it and just not pay attention to it. yes i know for a fact that helping others out when they are dealing with bullying or to tell them advice so they want even get into the mix of it always is saving somebody.
@sweetypie33 im tall 2! and i really did not like it. But then 1 day my Aunt told me "Hey ur super model tall! be proud of it!" and so now i dont care what ppl say i like being taller then my mom! lol! i feel bad 4 Sarah. she cant help that she has that. but if my parents got a call like that i would be homeschooled. Which i am homeschooled so. i dont have 2 deal with As Much bullying. thankgoodness!!!!
