What do you do when someone insults you, and tries to make you feel worthless? How do you cope? And why do they even do it - how can seeing someone in pain make someone else happy?

I've been bullied before - and I know how it hurts; I know the feeling of helplessness and the worry. But bullies are cowards and, to be quite honest, they're not worth your time. Plus, you never know; they could be hurting, too. People only know what you want them to know, so someone might appear to be strong and intimidating on the outside - but they could be weak and frail on the inside.

Recently, I was at a Stardoll party. Now, don't get me wrong; I think parties on Stardoll are an amazing feature and I always come out with a new friend or two. But for some reason, this party was different and a small group of members decided to ruin the experience for everyone - and instead of being kind and spreading positivity, they decided to be the opposite. I went in and introduced myself, and as usual, I was being really friendly. But these people decided they didn't like me - so they started making fun of the appearance of my doll.

Of course, I was upset initially - at first I kept trying to be friendly with the hope they would like me. But then I realised - I don't need their validation; I'm the better person in this situation, so I'm going to strut out of here and continue on with my life - still being proud of the way my doll looks. And that's exactly what I did - I left and I didn't look back.

I guess the message I want you all to take from post this is to not let anybody bring you down or try to make you feel like you're less than them.

You're amazing, beautiful and talented - never forget that.
