What's the best way to get over being bullied about your looks as a teen? I am 50 and still will not go to class reunions because of how I was bullied in high school.

I think the best way is to go, find out where those people who bullied you are now and look at where you are. You have probably gone a heck of a lot further than they did.

The best way to get over it is to not take care about that circumstance and live your life as a new person.

Being bullied is horrible but it's how you respond with that really matters if you give a reaction they're going to keep coming back but if you rise above then they're just gonna back off

I am sorry to hear that you were bullied over your looks, I know how that can make you feel. This is gonna sound a bit weird of a method but hear me out.. So I would suggest, writing a letter to all the people that used to bully you. (don't worry you're not going to send it) Tell them how it felt at the time, the emotions it made you feel, how it still affects you even now. You can write about specific events also. You then look at what you've written and see the emotion that you were going through at the time. Now I want you to imagine giving that old version of you the love you needed at that time. As you send that previous version of you the love, imagine yourself healing that previous version of you. Now with the letter, you go out and find somewhere very safe to burn that letter. And let go of that emotion as it burns. Let me know how that goes.

As an elementary student I was picked on because I was different from other kids. Looking back, I wish I could have told my younger self how little their opinions mattered. Growing up I have met so many kind hearted people and surrounded myself with them, as opposed to people focused on their outward appearance. I know it’s cheesy, but what’s on the inside matters much more than what’s on the outside. What aspects of yourself do you really like? Find something to love about yourself, both inside and out and grow from there. It can be incredibly freeing to let go of what others think of you!
