So, I don’t normally do sappy crap like this, but this is serious. My 13 year old sister recently informed me and our mom of the fact that last year, a group of boys had been bullying her and harassing her about her weight for about 8 months. She never told a single person, not a friend or a family member. She held that in for 8 and a half months.

When I asked her how she held in her feelings for that long, she said, “I didn’t hold in my feelings. All those times I said I was going to take a shower and I was in the bathroom for hours, I was letting out my feelings then.” I cry every night just thinking about the hell she went through. I talked to my uncle, who is a psychology professor at a local college about it. When he heard about how long this 13 year old girl went without telling anyone about what she was going through, he said that we should really check on her mental state.

So I read a notebook that she keeps under her bed. She says it’s where she writes her poetry but she seems so serious when she writes it, so I suspected it was something else. And I was right. In the journal, she was talking about how much she just wanted to end it all. My 13 year old sister is having suicidal thoughts

I sat her down and talked to her about it. We both broke down into tears and she told me she doesn’t think she can handle pouring her heart out about what happened. So I told her about Tumblr and how people will support her if she talks to someone about it on here. She told me nobody would care enough about it to listen.

I wanna show her how wrong she really is. And that is the purpose of this painfully long post.

My goal is to get enough notes to prove to her that people care. Reblog, love, just get enough notes to show Ash that people care.

I care. I know how you feel, and nobody ever ever ever wants to see someone go through something like this.

I almost went down that road. I was near the end of my wits and at the end of the tunnel, but that tunnel was dark. I couldn’t find the light, figuratively speaking.

I was/am a victim of bullying and harassment, so I know first-hand how it feels. It may seem destructive and harming at first, but I’ve learned to be so much stronger from it. I don’t take people’s bullshit anymore, I’ve learned to be a better person, I’ve learned to not act or do what these people did to me. 

There are a lot of people on this network that share the feelings as you, and they are all here for you. Whenever need be. Don’t ever think that no one is here for you. If not many, then one. 

I may not know you, but I can relate. Just keep that chin up, and there is always support. <3
