Bullying is Not Cool

UPDATE 6/3/13: 1,000 views and 100 faves on the same day!? Thank you guys for not only supporting me, but supporting the message I’m trying to spread.

UPDATE 1/28/15: I redid this piece because I thought that the original version looked a bit unpolished, so I had them sit because it looked better, I didn’t make it look like I unintentionally gave them boobs, I changed half the labels with more insulting/derogatory ones, and I added more writing to make it look more motivational and deep (My apologies if it’s hard to read. Dark backgrounds and dark writing do not mix very well. ).

Just for the record, THIS IS NOT SPEAKING OUT TO ANTI-BRONIES! This is supposed to speak out to bullies in general (whether you’re a brony or not). This is another big issue that goes with Autism Awareness Month (I was bullied for a good portion of elementary and middle school). So I thought, what better way to speak out against bullying… than to use ponies? I really am not the one to complain about me being bullied in school because we were all bullied at one point of our lives, but this is still a big issue for me on my part because I have Asperger’s and those that are on the Autism Spectrum are the biggest targets of bullying. I could never get through a day of school back in middle school without hearing someone call me “weirdo,” “gross,” “stupid,” “annoying,” “anorexic,” “idiot,” etc. in the hallway. It has went to the point where I would try to give myself bruises back then, so yes, I used to self-harm (over 2 years clean as of the latest update). and those emotional scars carried on to high school and I would not spend a single lunch period in the lunch room. I have ended up eating in the chorus room throughout high school, which I considered my safe-zone during those periods because a lot of my friends from chorus/chamber choir would spend their lunch periods there too. Anywho, enough with my pointless and depressing life stories. You’re here for the ponies and the message. For anyone who is being bullied, or has been bullied in the past, just remember, it gets better. You are better than the bullies, so don’t let them win. You are worth way more than what a bully labels you as.
