listen i’m seeing a lot of end bullying campaigns going around and it’s gonna be absolutely completely useless if we don’t start doing two things:
1.) admit to ourselves that bullying itself is a form of abuse (whether it be physical or emotional) that has long-lasting effects on children. like take this from someone who underwent this sort of thing for YEARS, it’s something that harms us and that we remember for years and years and even causes depression, anxiety, other disorders and can drive people to suicide, and to ignore how it’s another form of abuse that just comes from peers is ignoring why it’s wrong to begin with.
and
2.) understand that bullying is often aimed at marginalized groups and rooted in racism, ableism, fatphobia, homophobia, and transphobia. these people don’t just target us for no reason: all of what i went through was mostly caused by ableism, homophobia, and fatphobia; because i was different than the other allistic kids, because when i didn’t immediately want to date boys people speculated i was gay and bullied me for it, even simply having larger thighs than other kids caused them to straight up kick me for it. to pretend that bigotry isn’t a huge source of the problem is horrible because you’re ignoring a huge reason as to why kids would bully other kids in the first place.
like nothing’s gonna get better by just “taking a stand” against bullying. you’ve gotta look into what’s causing it and uphold what it actually is because i guarantee you not everyone is looking to just hold hands and get better.
yes i want this reblogged; i’m really tired of anti bullying campaigns that ignore the roots of it.
