Bullying is Not Cool

Just for the record, THIS IS NOT SPEAKING OUT TO ANTI-BRONIES! This is supposed to speak out to bullies in general (whether you’re a brony or not). This is another big issue that goes with Autism Awareness Month (I was bullied for a good portion of elementary and middle school). So I thought, what better way to speak out against bullying… than to use ponies? I really am not the one to complain about me being bullied in school because we were all bullied at one point of our lives, but this is still a big issue for me on my part because I have Asperger’s and those that are on the Autism Spectrum are the biggest targets of bullying. I could never get through a day of school back in middle school without hearing someone call me “weirdo,” “gross,” “stupid,” “annoying,” “anorexic,” “idiot,” etc. in the hallway. It has went to the point where I would try to give myself bruises back then, so yes, I used to self-harm (over 2 years clean as of the latest update). and those emotional scars carried on to high school and I would not spend a single lunch period in the lunch room. I have ended up eating in the chorus room throughout high school, which I considered my safe-zone during those periods because a lot of my friends from chorus/chamber choir would spend their lunch periods there too. Anywho, enough with my pointless and depressing life stories. You’re here for the ponies and the message. For anyone who is being bullied, or has been bullied in the past, just remember, it gets better. You are better than the bullies, so don’t let them win. You are worth way more than what a bully labels you as.
