The Benefits of Being Bullied as told by my Mom
1. Boost self confidence. They may be calling you ugly, but have you considered it’s because they’re jealous?
2. Foster Empathy. Next time you are happy, you can remember that someone else might be living through this right now and you are morally obliged to help them. Ready, set, go!
3. It can motivate you. Don’t give up because then your bully wins! Yes, this does apply to your cigarette habit, why do you ask?
4. Commitment to helping others. The guilt will be bone-crushing—ly good!
5. Self Improvement Have you considered that maybe your hair is ugly?
6. Develop Toughness. You’ll be one of those super cool people who becomes unbothered by everything and doesn’t really experience emotion and hence pain. How do I know? Well, ever since I married your father…
7. Discover Your True Friends. I know no one’s actually sticking up for you but if they were they’d be a keeper.
8. Build Character. Just think of the college essay you can write about this.
Develop a sense of humor. Just don’t put it in a magazine.
