bullies

When you hear a song that starts out “I know I’ve been holding it in, the way I feel about you” and continues to say “these three words, I’ve been holding back” you start to think it’s going to be a cutesy teen love song. But Avery had another reason for writing these lyrics. She decided it was time to stand up to bullies and wrote Go Screw Yourself (GSY).

Have you ever had a friend that puts you down or makes you feel stupid in front of a group? I like to refer to them as friend-bullies. They do the same thing that bullies do but since we’re friends with them and close to them, we don’t realize it as much. It’s important that you don’t let these people put you down and make you feel bad. They are supposed to be your friend and should help bring you up, not tear you down.
