Reasons

By: Nobuhle Maseko

Worth Noting:

• She hated her skin, she did not want to go outside or to be seen by people.Thoughts of suicide crossed her mind everyday, but couldn’t find the guts to go through with it or the right material to end her life with.
• Every time she thought of suicide she remained words that was given by her teacher that she’s important to her and they couldn’t loss her because of stupid thought, and that all that they may say will come to hunt them some day or the other.
• Until the day it was clear to her that she needed help .She finally had a talk with her sister, although it was hard for her considering she was the most quiet person ever and couldn’t trust every easily.

In life we all go through our up’s and down’s and we don’t heal in the same way or limitation of time.Our situations are different too, some are going through depression ,some are abused.Sharing a story that motivated me to this day ,in the matter of how some people are just strong ,brave and as bold as ever .After going so much they still move .

The lived  a girl that was shy ,smart and Beautiful ,but she never saw that as she was bullied  almost ever single day .Calling her names that one deserve to be called by , just because of a skin condition.

The girl had a skin condition whereby she had pimples that sworn up when came in contact with the sun and her parents could not pay for the treatment.So she had to bear being called names everyday.Until the day the girl could not take the throwing of words that effected her so badly .Her self confidence dropped to sea level, she ended believing what she heard and saw in the mirror.

She hated her skin, she did not want to go outside or to be seen by people.Thoughts of suicide crossed her mind everyday, but couldn’t find the guts to go through with it or the right material to end her life with.

Every time she thought of suicide she remained words that was given by her teacher that she’s important to her and they couldn’t loss her because of stupid thought, and that all that they may say will come to hunt them some day or the other.

Until the day it was clear to her that she needed help .She finally had a talk with her sister, although it was hard for her considering she was the most quiet person ever and couldn’t trust every easily.

Her sister shared a piece of experience of her also being bullied in High school that made her opened up .One piece of advice she was given is “You can’t live up to people exceptions .”If they have a problem with you then it’s their issue you just need to love yourself for who you are.

Because you are beautiful and smart and bold and my cute little sister and I love you the way you are .As she took in place of all the advice and thought she decided to be herself as she looked in the mirror and motivationally self spoke to herself

With her own mouth, she finally said it with believe after a very long time.

I AM Me!

I AM BEAUTIFUL!

I AM BOLD!

I AM STRONG!

ALL MAY BE SAID BUT WHAT I THINK MATTERS THE MOST!

Piece of advice by Nobuhle Maseko

Don’t judge other cause you will never know the reason behind it .And no one is perfect so don’t judge .And girls try to support each other then bringing each other apart .Love yourself and never ever in a million years change yourself to impress someone .
