Hello everyone,
As the founder of the Jamari Terrell Williams Foundation, I want to talk to you today about bullying and suicide. These are serious issues that affect millions of children and young adults every day, and I want you to know that there is always hope and help available.
If you are being bullied, it is important to know that it is not your fault. You are not alone, and there are people who care about you and want to help you. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, or teacher, or seek help from a community organization or counselor.
One way to deal with bullying is to find a positive outlet. This could be anything from playing a sport to painting to writing in a journal. Finding something you enjoy and are passionate about can help boost your self-esteem and give you a sense of purpose.
If you are feeling overwhelmed or hopeless, it is important to know that there is always help available. Suicide is not the answer, and there are many resources available to you, including hotlines and support groups. Reach out for help and talk to someone you trust.
Another important thing to remember is to practice self-care. This means taking care of your physical, mental, and emotional health. Make sure you are getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and engaging in regular exercise. Take time each day to do something that makes you feel good, whether it's reading a book, listening to music, or spending time with a friend.
It is also important to surround yourself with positive people who will support and encourage you. Seek out friendships and relationships that are healthy and positive, and distance yourself from people who are negative or bring you down.
Finally, I want to encourage you to practice gratitude. Take time each day to reflect on the good things in your life, even when things are tough. Focus on the positive and find reasons to be thankful. This can help shift your perspective and give you a sense of hope and optimism.
Remember, you are not alone. There are people who care about you and want to help you. Don't be afraid to reach out for help and support, and remember to take care of yourself both physically and emotionally.
