AFRICA OYE 2015
The Africa Oye is an annual festival that is held in Liverpool to celebrate everything African to food, art and music. I go every year and one of the main things I love about it is the coming together of different people from different cultures celebrating Africa.

BULLYING!
I thought I would write about bullying today as I know it is something a lot of people deal with, and it is something I have been through.
Firstly I want to define what bullying is in my opinion. I think bullying is when someone or a group of people physically or verbally abuses another person over a long period of time. However it does mean different things to different people.
I was bullied in secondary school and since leaving it's funny to see how everyone's paths are completely different to what I thought they would be. Even my own path. I feel extremely proud to be able to say I have an unconditional offer for a university that I love, studying something I am passionate about, but if I'm honest I don't think I would have pushed myself as much if I didn't go through everything in secondary school. I felt the need to prove certain people wrong and to prove myself wrong for believing what they said for so long. If you are in a position were you are being bullied use that anger you probably feel towards them to better yourself.
Lastly, even though it's hard, you should feel sorry for bullies. For them to be able to bring down another person shows they must be dealing with something very difficult in their own life. I used to try my hardest to pray for those who bullied me, that they would find happiness and would no longer feel the need to bully others.
"A bully grows weaker and a victim gets stronger."
I would love to know your thoughts and opinions on bullying.
