Pinks Mag 003
Pageant Bullying is what I would call a way of ?getting over jealousy?. People, any age, shape or size, bully others mainly for jealousy or family issues. I have been bullied for nearly eight years, nursery to year 6. It felt relentless, like I was in a black hole, traumatised by their actions which seemed to occur faster than lights. Sometimes I felt like I was in a bouncy castle having fun then the bullies would burst the bouncy castle and my fun, leaving me feeling trapped inside with no fun, no air. Verbal, cyber, physical ? .. you name it and I?ve had it. Dragged; punched; attacked. You can be forgiven to think by my picture, I had a pink and cuddly past. Not at all, nowhere near. One day, I asked to go to the lavatory at break time and there waiting were three of the toughest bullies in my class. They attacked me, pulled my hair, scratched all down my arms and face then dragged me along the bathroom floor. I lay there a long time after they left, afraid to move in case they were waiting for me For years, I hid my agonising emotions. In year 1, I was traumatised. By year 4, I was shaking. Mum organised sessions with school nurses and adults who ?thought? they knew how I felt. No one knew how I was dying inside. Friends who I thought were there for me, left my life. Enemies gained more power against me, I felt weak to the core. Then one day, Mum?s friend Lorraine was planning a Pageant. What were they? Mum said I should do this pageant and have fun. Ok, but what are they? I found out pageants are events like catwalks where there?s a certain amount of rounds and you wear t-shirts, jeans, dresses. Hmm, I liked the sound of that! I went to the event and it was amazing! Couldn?t have been any better at all! I felt safe in this environment and made lots of lovely friends. Every pageant enlightened my day. But I was still going back to enlightened my day. But I was still going back to bullies. I moved school, to a school that didn?t tolerate bullies and I was happy. Later that year, I was invited to one of the meanest bullies party. People would say she was the last bully you would want to cross The week before the party, she cyber bullied me, but I stood up to her with the courage and confidence I had now gained. My pageant family are all so supportive. The older more experienced girls show you how to walk with confidence and what to expect, you even get tips on doing interviews. I also discovered the true meaning to my life which guides me: be the best version of you, be true to yourself My friends, nowadays say they can?t imagine me as a victim of bullying. That was because I held it in, then would cry myself to sleep, bottling it up. That's one way loads of victims do, if they can?t handle it. you had told me two years ago I would be representing Durham as a grand finalist in Little Miss Teen Great Britain 2017. I would have said ?No way! You?re crazy!? But that's exactly what I?m doing in October. Pageants have given me strength and so much confidence, I managed to stand up to the meangirls. After that, they forgot about me, knowing I was no longer weak and helpless. Good riddance! Thanks pageants! Now I know who my real friends are .
GAMEOFTHRONES: RECAP With Season 7 starting not so long ago, we look back at the excitement previously seen from the start to end of season 6. SEASON ONE: ENTER THE 'DRAGON LADY'. North of the Wall, a patrol of the cloistered Night's Watch order is ambushed by undead 'White Walkers'. One of the men escapes south where, for his troubles, he is beheaded by the Lord of Winterfell Eddard "Ned" Start (actor SEAN BEAN). Noble Ned dismisses the babblings about animated corpses and insists it is solemn duty to execute the deserter in person. However, traitorous soldiers are soon the least of his worries. Hundreds of miles to the south in King's Landing, "Hand of the King" Jon Arryn dies in mysterious circumstances. This is obviously bad news for Jon Arryn but opens a new career opportunity for Ned, as his old friend, King Robert Baratheon (actor MARK ADDY), travels to Winterfell and offers to make the Warden of the North the new Hand of the King. There are a few sticking points. For one thing, Ned has no interest in becoming entangled in courtly intrigue at the capital. And Robert has brought with him his loathsome extended family. These include cruel Queen Cersei of the powerful House Lannister, her dashing but self-regarding twin Ser Jaime (actor NIKOLAJ COSTER-WALDAU) and their prostitute-fraternising sibling Tyrion (actor PETER DINKLAGE) Most unpleasant of all is Robert's ghastly son and heir Joffrey (actor JACK GLEESON) ? literally a spoiled prince whose brattish temperament could not be more different from that of the garrulous, profane Robert (it's almost as if they are not related? ). Still, if things are bad for Ned ? who resists Robert's offer but is made to understand he really doesn't have a choice ? they are worse for his son Bran (actor ISAAC HEMPSTEAD WRIGHT). Climbing a tower, the adorable poppet happens upon Cersei canoodling with Jaime ? yes, her twin!. "The things I do for love," sighs Jaime, shoving Bran out the window to his presumed death. Somehow the boy survives ? albeit crippled for life and in a temporary coma. While mother Catelyn sits by his bed, Ned, Robert and their retinues depart for King's Landing. With Ned are his daughters Sansa (flighty, fashion-conscious, bafflingly besotted with Joffrey) and feisty little Arya (actress MAISIE WILLIAMS). Also saying farewell to the family home is Jon Snow, Ned's "bastard" son, openly loathed by Catelyn. He is to travel north to the Wall and join the semi-monastic Night's Watch, whose solemn is to guard the ancient rampart. Jon knows nothing of his mother and Ned vows to at last share the truth when next they meet (yes, one of them dies). Across the Narrow Sea and far from the courtly scheming of Westeros, Princess Daenerys Targaryen is about to be married off to barbarian warlord Khal Drogo (actor JASON MOMOA). A union between the wide-eyed, partially clothed Daenerys and the brutish Drogo has been arranged by the Princess's unpleasant (even by Prince Joffrey standards) brother Viserys (actor HARRY LLOYD). As the sole surviving children of the Mad King who once ruled Westeros - and was violently deposed by the Baratheon's and Stark's in "Robert's Rebellion" - Viserys believes the Iron Throne is his to reclaim. Awkwardly he's whimpy, vain and lacks an army. Not much to be done about the first two - however, hitching Daenerys to Drogo Back in Westeros, New 'Hand of The King' is suprised will put at his disposal the Khal's Dothraki hordes and, all going to schedule, unleash the Targaryen "dragon". Back in Westeros, new Hand of the King Ned is surprised when his wife Catelyn arrives at King's Landing. She has received a letter from her sister (also Jon Arryn's widow) ? claiming the Lannister's killed Ned's predecessor (Catelyn believes they later dispatched the assassin who unsuccessfully attempt to finish off stricken Bran). So, the Starks are about to lose a crucial ally. Robert, a serial philander in a sham marriage with Cersei, dies during a boar hunt, with his wife having apparently drugged his wine. This is unfortunate timing as Ned has discovered that Joffrey isn't Robert's biological son. Confronted, Cersei admits Jaime is the father of all her children. But naive Ned has underestimated his enemies. With Joffrey to be King, Eddard is arrested for treachery and executed ? in view of daughters Sansa (in a be-careful-what-you-wish-for twist she is now betrothed to loathsome Joffrey) and Arya, watching in disguise before fleeing for her life. n Essos, Daenerys surprises herself by taking to the life of a Khal's wife. Also surprised is Viserys. No longer in control his sister he is executed by the Dothraki (big fans of dramatic irony, the horsemen pour a "crown" of molten gold over on his head). Yet the lot of a blood-thirsty warlord can be challenging and Khal sustains fatal wounds in battle. Into his funeral bonfire steps Daenerys

back at the excitement previously seen from the<br />
