Confidence is the key~ Haters

If you have a you tube account, you probably know what I am talking about!!!! Many people have at least 1 hater. If you have had anough, here are some steps I would take:

Step 1: IGNORE OR RESPOND? Many people have tough decisions about the fight or flight response, or in this case, ignore or respond. In my case, not many people watch my videos because they havn't been up for that long. At most I have 4 comments on a video, so I will just respond back to them politley. If you have more then 50+ haters,  I would make a video, or on your next video just say somthing about it in the description box.

Step 2: MAKING A VIDEO. If you do end up making a video response, ask them politley to tell you what is wrong, or tell them "if you guys don't like my videos, why are you watching them"?

Step 3: LISTENED TO EXPIRIENCED PEOPLE! Nigahiga, a person I am subcribed to on You Tube, made this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXFCPUlGYEM&feature=plcp&context=C45d5570VDvjVQa1PpcFPqVy1QrIUnucffmzPbO466vEuP_1ep-N8%3D
Although, I would never do this, you can tune it down a little and post somthing, hopefully eithout causing a rucuss ;)

I hope this helps!!!

Confidence is the Key~ Fighting for Yourself

I have seen bullying before. It is ugly and harsh, but real. A lot of people are discriminated for being who they are. Some of the main reasons for bullying:
-Who you like (Girls/Guys)
-Race
-What you wear
-What your hobbies are
Some of the things about avoid future and present bullying:

Preventing a Run-In With a Bully

Don't give the bully a chance. As much as you can, avoid the bully. You can't go into hiding or skip class, of course. But if you can take a different route and avoid him or her, do so.
Stand tall and be brave. When you're scared of another person, you're probably not feeling your bravest. But sometimes just acting brave is enough to stop a bully. How does a brave person look and act? Stand tall and you'll send the message: "Don't mess with me." It's easier to feel brave when you feel good about yourself. See the next tip!
Feel good about you. Nobody's perfect, but what can you do to look and feel your best? Maybe you'd like to be more fit. If so, maybe you'll decide to get more exercise, watch less TV, and eat healthier snacks. Or maybe you feel you look best when you shower in the morning before school. If so, you could decide to get up a little earlier so you can be clean and refreshed for the school day.
Get a buddy (and be a buddy). Two is better than one if you're trying to avoid being bullied. Make a plan to walk with a friend or two on the way to school or recess or lunch or wherever you think you might meet the bully. Offer to do the same if a friend is having bully trouble. Get involved if you see bullying going on in your school — tell an adult, stick up for the kid being bullied, and tell the bully to stop.

If The Bully Says or Does Something to You

Ignore the bully. If you can, try your best to ignore the bully's threats. Pretend you don't hear them and walk away quickly to a place of safety. Bullies want a big reaction to their teasing and meanness. Acting as if you don't notice and don't care is like giving no reaction at all, and this just might stop a bully's behavior.
Stand up for yourself. Pretend to feel really brave and confident. Tell the bully "No! Stop it!" in a loud voice. Then walk away, or run if you have to. Kids also can stand up for each other by telling a bully to stop teasing or scaring someone else, and then walk away together. If a bully wants you to do something that you don't want to do — say "no!" and walk away. If you do what a bully says to do, they will likely keep bullying you. Bullies tend to bully kids who don't stick up for themselves.
Don't bully back. Don't hit, kick, or push back to deal with someone bullying you or your friends. Fighting back just satisfies a bully and it's dangerous, too, because someone could get hurt. You're also likely to get in trouble. It's best to stay with others, stay safe, and get help from an adult.
Don't show your feelings. Plan ahead. How can you stop yourself from getting angry or showing you're upset? Try distracting yourself (counting backwards from 100, spelling the word 'turtle' backwards, etc.) to keep your mind occupied until you are out of the situation and somewhere safe where you can show your feelings.
Tell an adult. If you are being bullied, it's very important to tell an adult. Find someone you trust and go and tell them what is happening to you. Teachers, principals, parents, and lunchroom helpers at school can all help to stop bullying. Sometimes bullies stop as soon as a teacher finds out because they're afraid that they will be punished by parents. This is not tattling on someone who has done something small — bullying is wrong and it helps if everyone who gets bullied or sees someone being bullied speaks up.

Confidence is the Key~ Being yourself

Being yourself is the best way to live your life. You can't let other people tell you how to live your life!
Here are the steps:

Step 1: LIVE YOU LIFE! You can't change, just except who you are!

Step 2: LAUGH OUT LOUD! I laugh at lunch all the time! I still laugh even though people look at me like I am crazy. I still laugh even thought people dare each other to come sit at our table! I am my own person, and no one can tell me what to do!!!!!

Step 3: HAVE YOUR OWN STYLE! Don't copy other peoples styles. Create your own style! You have to be your own person!

Step 4: YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN TELL YOU WHAT TO DO! If someone keeps on telling you what you have to do. Fight back! There is no sense in becomming someones slave.

Confidence is the Key~ Rejection

Confidence is the key to life. We all have ups and downs. In this post I will talk about rejection. The steps after the initial rejection are the most important! (This is my expiorience)Some steps you can take:

Step 1:DO NOT GET EMOTIONAL! Especially when rejected in person!

Step 2: IGNORE!Next time you see him/her, don't pay atention to them! Even if your mind drifts and you some how find yourself looking, LOOK AWAY!!!!!! Especially when he/she is talking in a group (about how you asked him/her out).

Step 3: FIGHT BACK! If he/she teases you, look him/her straight in the eyes and say somthing like "Dude! Back off" or somthing in that region.

Step 4: FIND SOMEONE BETTER! If he/she and/or his friends tease you about how you asked him/her out, just keep on telling yourself that you could can find someone better!

Step 5: MOVE ON! Use this expirience to afect the next time you ask someone out. This can be hard or easy, depending on how much and how long you liked that person.

I hope this helped you get over your crush <3
