This is my best friend, Berlina.

Since kindergarten, she’s been bullied over her weight. She’s had health complications because of it. She’s changed schools because of it. And when I met her in year 7, she was still so bubbly, so full of life, you’d never believe that someone this strong was hiding so much pain. 

She’s always been there for me as a friend. Last year, she sat by my hospital bedside for hours and hours and hours after my overdose. She literally wouldn’t leave until the nurses forced everyone out. And the sacrifices she’s made for not only me but all of my friends amazes me, because she’s taken on everyone else’s pain as well as her own. 

Recently, she’s been through a lot. It’s our final year of high school and all our teachers are harassing her for ‘not putting enough effort into her studies’ despite the fact that she’s not going for an ATAR (final exam rank). She cuts the words fat and ugly into her arm. She’s dealt with death threats from one of her ex best friends. She’s had guys treat her like shit and been called a slut and a fat bitch. And so she’s starting to believe it.

Please, please reblog this if you think Berlina is beautiful, inside and out. Reblog if you have a friend who’s amazing who you want to tell all of tumblr about. 

Reblog because no one so good should feel so bad that they want to end their own life.

what a fucking angel

bless her omg

Oh. Yes. Good.

She’s absolutely adorable. Please tell her I said this!!

I’ve been through lots of weight-related bullying before, but it’s not worth it, Berlina!!! When people put you down, it’s because they feel bad about themselves and want other people to be as miserable, or more, than they are. Don’t listen to what they have to say. You’re so much better than that!! Self-injury is never the answer. I know that from personal experience. It just makes you feel worse about yourself! And if someone is sending you death threats, call the police!! Don’t play around with that. People who say things like that need to know how serious what they’re doing is. 

You’re beautiful, Berlina. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.
