I left school back in 2007 but here's some of my thoughts..
When I was in school I wouldn’t say I was popular,
nor was I unpopular. I got bullied every now and then in secondary school, and
it really effected my confidence. I was made to believe that unless you were really
pretty or was a bully, you were never going to have lots of friends, or be
really liked.
There are things I used to believe in school, that
I think are absolutely stupid now!
Friends.. There must be friends in school, that at the
time were your bestest friends in the world? I used to have friends that would
run off anytime I needed them. Or when it came to getting into groups of 2 and
there were 3 you I would have got pushed out? Things like that I took on the
chin, and I was way too nice about it. Now if you reading this now and you’re
still in school.. do not think your self worth is less than anyone else! That’s
one thing I learnt since leaving school! I’d rather have 2 true friends then 20
fake friends.
Image.. I don’t want to drain on how my thoughts on my
self image was really low, But as I said
in the earlier paragraph, I somehow believed that unless you were drop dead gorgeous,
or had tones of makeup to make you look pretty then no one would like you! Well
since leaving school I realised that personality is the decider whether people
like you or not! Even in college I was shocked how people that weren’t at all
pretty (I don’t mean this at all in a nasty way) but they were really popular
and had loads of friends! As cheesy as it sounds, don’t change yourself for
anyone, and don’t copy anyone. Be YOU.
Another thing is that many people think that school is forever, it's not. You might have a terrible time there, but have an amazing life years later, and people will be begging to be your friend! Hard work does pay off.. ... think some famous people weren't as hot as they are now ;)
Thanks for reading guys!
