Girls Talk About Bullying

Girls Talk About BullyingBullying – maybe you’ve experienced it first hand or have seen it happen at your school. No matter how you’ve come across it, bullying can have serious effects on those who become victims, as recent sad news reports have shown of young people even losing their lives as a result.

I remember seeing others being bullied in middle and high school and even had my share of being teased at times – in both types of situations it was not funny and it did hurt. Like the old saying says sticks and stones can break your bones – but words can hurt too – a lot. What do you do when you are being teased or see someone who is?

Keke Palmer On Self-Esteem

Keke Palmer recently talked to Seventeen Magazine about what makes her feel self-conscious, but says she’s learned how to love her imperfections and encourages other girls to love themselves too:

Keke Palmer On Self Esteem

“Love yourself… Nobody’s perfect, I mean come’on, nobody is perfect. Not you, not your mom, even the people on TV – nobody is perfect and there’s always something that nobody likes, but you know you just accept that.

Your imperfections make you beautiful. It’s those things you find you don’t like that someone else finds very special and very unique about you. You just accept it and own it, even if it’s not one of your favorite parts, you just own it because that’s who you are.”
– Keke Palmer
