Message to those being bulliedTo the young people who are going through this right now, allow me to share some advice I wish I could go back and tell 12-year-old me: It does get better. Your peers may spew insults and make you feel worthless, but you are not. You will go on and persevere because, even though it might not feel like it when youre in the eye of the storm, you are strong. And you will be a better person for it, someone who is filled with empathy, humility, generosity and kindness. One day, you will no longer wake up filled with dread and anxiety. You will go on to have adventures, find love and acceptance, and be thankful for every day that you are alive. Hold on to that hope, and never let it go.Carly WeeksGlobe and Mail Oct 14, 2012Message to BystandersAnd to everyone else: Its time to recognize bullying is not about a headline or an isolated incident or a tragedy you heard on the news. It is a problem that affects all of us. There are bullies. There are victims. And there is everyone else watching from the sidelines. Its time for us to take a long look in the mirror. Its time to speak up, say something, and refuse to be the complicit bystander.Carly WeeksGlobe and Mail Oct 15, 2012refuse to be the complicit bystanderThe EndIt does get better!True Colors229839.92
