The Day I Stopped Caring About Narcissist Lies

  There comes a glorious day in every survivor’s life when you just… stop caring. Like full-body, soul-level, zero shits given kind of not caring. For me, it happened somewhere between my mum telling me she was “going to be all alone on her birthday”… and a week later announcing she was throwing a massive backyard barbecue for 100 people. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, or nominate her for the Guinness World Record in Emotional Whiplash. Phase One: The Loneliness Guilt Trip First, it was the classic “nobody loves me” performance. Full drama. Head down, sighing, “It’s just going to be me… completely alone on my birthday.” Cue the violins. Phase Two: The Social Flex Plot Twist Fast-forward a week, and suddenly we’ve upgraded from Sad Susan to Party Queen. “I’ve got like, a hundred people coming. Huge barbecue! Are you coming?” …Ma’am.

How To Deal With Bullies At School

How to Deal with Bullies at School: Empowering Strategies for Students

Remember that old schoolyard jingle, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”? Well, that was not—and certainly is not—the truth today. Bullying is a serious issue that affects many students. If you or someone you know is dealing with bullies at school, here are some empowering strategies to navigate this challenging situation:

  1. Speak UpTell a parent or guardian about the bullying. Your parents are there to help and want to know what’s going on with you. They can then communicate with school staff to address the issue. Keeping a diary of incidents can be helpful.

  2. Report to School: Inform teachers, principals, and other school helpers about bullying incidents. They have the power to intervene and stop the bullying. Sometimes, bullies back off when they know adults are aware.

  3. Open Dialogue: Talk openly about bullying with a guidance counselor, sibling, or friend. Sharing your experience and feelings can make you feel less alone. Some schools even have peer counseling programs that can be beneficial.

  4. Stand Up for Others: If you witness someone being bullied, stand up for them. Your actions can make a difference and show the victim that they’re not alone.

  5. Join Prevention Programs: Get involved in your school’s bullying or violence prevention programs. If your school doesn’t have one, consider starting one yourself.

Remember, you’re not alone, and there are people who care about your well-being. Together, we can create a safer and more supportive school environment! 🌟123
