This! Stand up for yourself even if it’s hard. If they are your friends they will quit it and if not, you don’t need them in your life. In school, it can feel so hard and impossible but you have so many amazing things ahead of you. Block out the haters and focus on those that really care about you. And above all, don’t hate on yourself. It took me a long time to stop hating on myself and once I did it made things so much easier.
