Hello Paige here. Has anyone ever told you lies about yourself and you believed it? Tonight I am going to discuss when people accuse us of not being good enough.
Math has never been my best subject. One time I was in class and didn't get it. My teacher said that I have dyslexia which I don't. I just didn't understand the equation. For the rest of the day I was upset.
All of us have things that we are good at and we have our weaknesses also. The world tends to focus on our weaknesses and that is what causes us to have low self-esteem. We have goals but feel that we can't acomplish things because of how others made us feel.
Today focus on your strengths. Accept the areas that you are bad at and ask God to make you overcome the areas where you are not so good. Everyone has something special in them that makes them different from someone else. Be proud of who you are. Don't listen to the lies that others are telling you.
See you next time,
Paige

Bullies
Bullies. What makes them act the way they do? What do you do when you are getting bullied? Is it easy to just walk away? Tonight, I will answer all of those questions.
I don't mean to be concited but once you meet me it will be hard not too like me. I am very sweet and love meeting new people and making new friends. I was always that way but the bullies of the world didn't see me that way. I was born with confidence just like all babies are. Then something happens to us to change how we feell about ourselves. It wasn't until I met someone my Junior year of college who changed my life. All ofa sudden I had confidence again. That is another story though. This is about someone I knew in middle school.
I knew this guy in middle and high school. He was mean. One day I was walking ahead of him and he and he said "animal" under his breath and started to laugh. I put on my headphones and kept walking. Now that was all that happened. I was very sensitive though and when anyone would call me a name I would get upset. I wanted to say don't call me that or don't speak to me that way but I couldn't fight back. I then remembered the one who got away and how he treated me. He liked me and he treated me with nothing but respect. I can't believe how I just let him go.
Alot of time bullies act the way they do because of their growing up. Middle and High School is when bullying is at an all time high. The effects of bullying can last a lifetime. People say ignore the words but it is very hard to ignore those words. Eventually those words become scars and we believe all the bad things that are said about us even if it isn't true.
I once stood up for myself and the people who were bothering me left me alone. Then when they saw me they smiled at me and that was that. When I showed that was weak though the bullying got worse and worse. I am not saying to fight because if there is one thing that I am against is fighting. I believe that if you talk things out and tell people how you feel things will get better.
It's not easy to walk away but try standing up for yourself. No matter how hard it is keep your head up high. Keep believing that one day you will meet people who treat you the way that you deserve to be treated. Think of the people who appreciated you or something that made you laugh or even a time when you were most happy. Keep moving foward and show the world what an amazing person you really are.

New Years Resolution
Hello and welcome to another edition of Social Life. I know I haven't been on for awhile and I am sorry about that. Today I am going to talk about New Years. I love New Years. Mainly New Years Eve because it's all about having fun and no strings attached not like Valentines Day. I also love New Years Day because it is the start of something new. It is forgeting about the past and starting new. My New Years resoultions in the past have been to lose weight or get a boyfriend. Then during one point when I liked a guy who was mean was to forget all about him. It was easy at the time bceause I was a freshmen in college and he was a senior in high school. It's a long story and I did move on. This year I didn't know what my resoultion should be, then it finally came to me. This year I am not going to waste my time on people who don't want me. I am going to have more confidence in myself as well. There could be someone out there who knows how to treat me so I am going to stop wasting my time on someone who treats me badly. I value myself. This should go for alot of people. We stay with people who treat us badly because of our feelings. We want that person to be with us. We make excuses for them and we get so upset. Life is too short to waste it on things like that. So today make sure that the people you are with treat you right. As the saying goes "If you love something let it go, If it comes back it's yours. If it doesen't it was never meant to be yours in the first place."
