Dealing with hate and online abuse.
At the end of the day, everyone is human. We all have opinions and feelings towards others. Do you ever wonder why people only decide to find their bus pass once they got on the bus, despite waiting at the stop for a good few minutes? 🤔 I hate it and honestly, it annoys me so much. But never in a million years would I think of being rude or making an unkind remark about someone and posting it online. I just wouldn't do it. If you don't have anything nice to say, then you might not say anything at all.
"You're too skinny, stop starving yourself".
There's diverse ways of being rude. Sometimes it's only insults like Bitch, Homewrecker, Slut. I had so many people call me anorexic in school. One girl even offer to give me food as she thought I wasn't eating properly. And other times people go into a little more detail, usually with a jealous tone "You must think your some kind of supermodel", "Bitch, stop surviving on salad and eat a burger". I actually laughed at that one cause they obviously don't know me properly if they think I lived of a salad.
The power of the Internet.
Social media is getting worse and worse these days and people are using it as a way to spread hate. People will happily sit inside their bedrooms, while they write hateful comments about someone. I remember when I dealt with online abuse in school and although it was difficult at first. I soon learnt how to brush it off like it was a fleck of dust on my shoulders. However, it's not just teenagers who spend their time online, abusing others. I have also seen comments from so many adults, with the most awful language.
If you're reading this, and have been in a similar situation and are experiencing online hate or bullying, please feel free to comment down below and I will get back to you. Too many people are dealing with hate and abuse online and it's time something is done.

Preparing for GCSE'S
Hey guys, I hope you're well. In today's post I thought I'll share with you some things you can do to prepare for your GCSE'S! I will discuss what I did to prepare for my exams as well as list a few things you can do to revise.
Why is Education imperative? What is it worth?
Education is the key to a successful career!
What did I do to prepare for my exams.
I worked super, super hard for my GCSE'S! Each morning I would leave home at 7:45am and arrive in school at 8:00am to meet with a teacher to do some maths and science revision. From 8am until 8:45am (when school actually started) we would sit in a classroom and go through my homework and do extra revision. For example, he would write on the whiteboard a list of maths equations for me to do and then ask me to explain how I intend to solve it and so on. After each session was finish (when the school bell rang) I would make my way to my form class or to our year assembly.
As well as that, I would also go to the library during my breaks and (sometime) lunch time to go and print as many pass papers as I possibly could and then answer them when I arrive home. And if you thought that was it, think again. Not only did I do that but I also attended revision classes every Saturday with another math teacher and a group of students. I definitely never regretted this as those Saturday classes were so incredibly useful and was definitely what helped me get an A in math overall. While we were there, we would go through pass papers and answer them individually before discussing the answers and marking it with our maths teacher. On top of that, we would also meet after school every Wednesday for an hour and a half for even more revision.
English on the other hand, was my favourite subject in high school and was definitely one that I didn't mind revising for. I would always write essays at home and bring it in to school the following day to show my English teacher. She was honestly the best English teacher ever, and generally did everything in her power to help me get a good grade. Sometimes she would even arrange appointments in the morning (before school started) where we would meet with her in her office and show her any work we did or discuss with her what we're struggling with. I was determine to take every opportunity I had without failure (even if that meant arriving in school at 7:30am - sometimes earlier) then so be it. At the end of the day the hard work did pay off and I manage to get a B for English overall.
If you're like myself and want to do equally as good (if not, better) then here are some ways to heighten your grade.

If you're like myself and want to do equally as good (if not, better) then here are some ways to heighten your grade.
- Schedule appointments with your subject teacher to discuss your work.
- Attend revision classes - this is a great opportunity for you to cover the things that will most likely appear in the exam.
- Ask for extra homework
- Create a mind map and write down all the key information
- Work alongside a friend (I found this extremely helpful as myself and my friends would test each other to see what we did and didn't know).
what I've learnt over the years
1.
You'll never be able to please everyone! Regardless of what you do, someone will always have an opinion. So, try to brush off a rude comment like it was a fleck of dust on your shoulders and forget about it.
2.
Success doesn't happen over night. The secret to success is hard work and dedication! This goes for everything, whether it's in education, health and fitness, work or maintaining a relationship.
3.
Travel the world! Go and explore all of God's creations and meet new people along the way. What's the point of limiting yourself to one area in the world when there are so many places and people who you've never encountered before or learnt the story of.
4.
Relationships are hard work and not every relationship is worth your time and effort. It's all about working out what relationships are worth your time and what ones are not.
5.
It doesn't cost you a penny to be a kind, caring person. A simple gesture like a smile can brighten up someone's day. My mother always said: "You should treat people the way you want to be treated".
