Today, I decided to blog about tips on how to be optimistic when people mistreat you. In one particular class, there are a few girls that share dirty looks and comments about me. At first, I was scared that this situation would turn into something worse. I was also sad, because I don't like being made fun of. I felt alone. But then I realized, there are so many adolescent teens who have experienced this issue, and I will overcome this issue with my head held high, because I have God and the love of my family. Below is a list of tips on how to be optimistic when people are mean to you: 1) Smile. Even when people are giving you nasty looks and talking behind your back, smile because it brings out your beauty and says a lot about you. It shows that you are the bigger person and not reacting to their actions 2) Ignore. I know it's hard to ignore all the nasty comments, but if you keep ignoring them, eventually they will lose interest and move on to something else. 3) Pray for them. God tells us to pray for our enemies and he promises that he will make our enemies be at peace with us. 4) Hold your head up high and stay true to who you are. Keep moving forward and don't look back because you have a promising future ahead of you. 5) Receive it as a compliment that you got it going on.
