Albiet my story was different in a lot of ways. It's hard to push past things like that, but one thing that has helped me was the moment that I realized the people who did the picking were not doing it to be mean. They did it because they reall thought that you could handle the reprecussions. Little did they know it kicked your self esteem in the toilet.<br /><br />Just remember this what people say about you is not important. What other people think about is not important. What's important is the way you feel about yourself. If you can't see the beauty in yourself then others will see you they way they have for years. Begin inside then correct those that surrond you.

But you're right, it's important to push past it. Otherwise it will only bring our self-worth down and that's just <i>not</i> worth it!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323696998854147831noreply@blogger.com
