It's the modern age and unfortunately all forms of bullying are alive and well. I'm sure there are people just like me who are still experiencing bullying, even into their adulthood.

Jealousy is an ugly trait and people who are so unhappy with themselves usually feel the need to hurt others just get some shred of self-gratification. You should feel bad for them, if anything.

But never stop being that sunshine, the important, genuine people in your life and your true friends will always lift you up, you don't need the toxicity and negativity dulling your light.

Losing your sparkle and shine because of a girl trolling you behind a screen because she's miserable with her own life isn't worth it. People are usually trying to get some type of reaction out of you, but don't give them that satisfaction. Pray for your enemies, and keep being awesome. Kindness goes much farther than hatred and jealousy do. Remember that the people trying to drag you down are only doing it because you're already about them.
