If you are different in any way, you may not fit in completely at school or work. There is nothing wrong with being different, but people who live narrow lives may consider you strange. People love to stereotype, the jock kid and the weird goth kid.
When people call you weird or strange it actually a compliment. it means that you have the courage to be your unique self and not care what other people think. All the great artists have something unique about them. Marilyn Manson is a different kind o guy, what is different about him is what made him famous.
It’s always about being yourself and not being ashamed of being different or thinking different. – Marilyn Manson

There is nothing worse than a bully; a bully is really a coward, who gangs up with others to torment people. Bullies pick innocent victims who have done nothing to deserve the harassment being directed towards them.
Sometimes the bully has a halo effect even though they are a real jerk and the teachers and the school think that they are a great kid. These are the hard ones to catch, like the captain of the football team who has the support of the school and the students.
If you are being bullied, please tell a trusted adult what is going on so they can get you some help. The person you talk to does not have to be your parent but someone who can help you figure out what to do.
You may feel like you are being left out or picked on at school, but it won’t be like this forever. Great things are ahead for you in the future.
In the meantime, may all the bad karma that bullies inflict on others come back and bite them in the ass.

Entrepreneur Elon Musk was Bullied Growing up
Some kids get bullied for being different, they are creative, smart and not afraid to have a point of view.

Elon Musk was one of those kids, he was bullied horribly during his school days in South Africa.
Maye Musk said of her son “he was the youngest and smallest guy in his school” and that he was picked on all the time.
“It’s pretty rough in South Africa,” he says. “If you’re getting bullied, you still have to go to school. You just have to get up in the morning and go. He hated it so much.” -Elon’s brother, Kimbal Musk
If so, tell that kid the story of Elon Musk. Today, the world knows Musk as a wealthy, imaginative genius — the man who is making electric cars mainstream and putting rockets in space.
Musk survived the bullying with the support of his family, and having the belief he could do great things. The other thing that saved him was computers and creating businesses.
Today he is known as one of the founders of PayPal and the founder of Tesla.

If you are being bullied, do not let it define your future. You are capable of accomplishing amazing things. Elon overcame horrendous bullying and showed all of the haters what he is capable of.
Do you remember when you were a kid and you were forced to apologize when you didn’t want to? Maybe your cousin always made you look like the bad guy, and you took the wrath for something you didn’t do.
You may find yourself in a situation where you are made to apologize when you feel it isn’t necessary. You have to pick your battles in life and choose which ones are worth getting upset about. Adults are supposed to own what they do, feel remorse for their actions and man up and apologize.
In today’s world, with social justice warriors on every corner, people get easily offended about every little thing. They cry and carry on that you offended them, and they take it personally. It is going to be difficult for some of these people to realize that the world doesn’t revolve around them and their needs, and others can’t be expected to walk to eggshells to cater to their needs.
My son mentioned to some friends at school that he found feminine girls with long hair attractive. The girls in his class were furious that he said he preferred a physical type and said that he should apologize for being sexist. Should you really have to apologize because you find certain people attractive?
Here are some snarky apologies when you are forced to say sorry, when you don’t really mean it.

Usually, the best way to deal with a jerk is to move on with your life and ignore them. Ignoring someone lets the person know in no uncertain terms that you don’t want to deal with them. You are not obligated to talk to everyone, maybe you want to avoid someone you go to school with or an old colleague, if you are attending a social gathering you are not obligated to talk to everyone. You know the old saying if you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all.
Being ignored can drive some folks absolutely crazy, you are basically saying they are not even worth reacting to. Sometimes ignoring somebody can be very effective when you want to get someone to smarten up and change their behavior.
If someone calls you out on ignoring them, here are some great comebacks you can use.

A self-absorbed individual is a person who is consumed with their own feelings, situation and they are oblivious to how they impact the people around them.
Everyone goes through stages in their life when they become self-absorbed, think of exam time, when your parents got divorced or when you were dumped by a friend. It is hard to focus on anyone else when you are in emotional turmoil or during a stressful period.
Jill was going through a really hard time in her life, in fact, it was so challenging that she didn’t even tell close friends about it. Her husband wasn’t working and she supporting him and paying for everything. Some things seem too personal to discuss with friends and she didn’t want to dump her troubles on others. One day a friend told her that she was self-absorbed lately, she apologized and explained a bit of what is going on and that she hoped things would be better going forward.
It can be shocking when someone calls you self-absorbed, especially if you don’t see yourself that way. Next time you are called self-absorbed used one of our clever comebacks to shut the person up.
