Hi guys, today I'm going to be covering a subject that is very important to me, and think would benefit a lot of you guys.
The change from primary school to secondary school is a big thing, and effects people in many different ways. Sometimes for better sometimes for worse. I know i sound like such an old person when i say it, but technology has really effected people in bad ways.
When i was in Primary school i was picked on very badly, because of my looks, and my hair and just about anything that wasn't the same as anyone else. The bullying got so bad that i ended up changing schools. I feel like when you are in primary school you're only worry is how you will get money for sweets, or how to convince you're mum to let you have a sleepover. But now kids are more influenced by younger web stars. People on musically are creating music videos showing inappropriate movements, and they are about 7. The skirts have gotten shorter, the makeup has become more cakie and most importantly, peoples views have changed.
When i got to secondary school i had my blazer done up, skirt to my ankles and a tight pony tail. I was told that this was ugly, not what girls should dress like. I was told that if i didn't look a certain way, boys wouldn't date me, and people wouldn't like me. Did i believe it, yes sadly i did. My confidence went from 100 to 20 and that really effected my self esteem. I started spending every penny i got on makeup (not the right colours or shades, i looked like a orange) and straightened my hair everyday without fail causing it to be the most damaged its ever been today, and my skirt was pulled up so high. Even then i was told i wasn't good enough.
When you get to GCSEs a sense of relief is brought about. When you join college it feels more like people aren't bothered by appearance and want to get to know you as a person. You don't care about the looks because people are dressed in bright colours and have there own fashion. And they rock it.
Just remember that you shouldn't loose the spark that makes you, you. I remember when it was my first non uniform day, and i wore a bright dress and pony tails. A group of girls kept following me and throwing things, saying i was to ugly. It did break me down but guess what, i got back up. Don't do what i did, listen to you're heart and go by what you want. Don't follow other peoples standards, go by you're own.
