Trying to slide it back in ? <| sep |> Not everything in life is a good thing and it doesn ' t have to be , sometimes its the bad things that get us to where we are , its the bad things that shape us . Now I ' m not going to go into much detail about my life , but I was bullied and didn ' t really have anyone , even the teachers just overlooked it , and I completely understand that for a kid going through such things it will be extremely difficult , and that there will be days when they don ' t want to get out of bed . These are the moments that shape us and define us , these moments teach us necessary and useful characteristics . Looking back , I remember the bullying being so painful , but after a while I learnt and started to adapt to the situation , growing up I gained independence , and although its counterintuitive I gained confidence by proving those people wrong , I learned when its appropriate to fight back and when to just take it . If everyone just eliminated the bad things , then we ' d never leave home and just laze around doing enjoyable things .
