Lady Gaga ‘takes daily meds’

We wonder why her fans are her “little monsters” and she “mother monster”?
Bullying is no way shape, form or fashion acceptable; even if you make millions of dollars off of the negative impact. How is someone as musically inclined as Lady Gaga, revered and all be depressed? No amount of money create positive self esteem. Being bullied has the victim parched for acceptance. The need to belong will lead some down a dark rabbit hole in this case, Gaga would be Alice. There are riddles disguised as hurdles in real life. We all have our own “mad hatter” to deal with. As I pointed out in my Love and Hip Hop post, it is how we deal with our hurdles that leads people to speculate. Positivity is going to stir the haters to hate and the righteous to say “well done.”
We are not in the public eye living out our growing pains however Lady Gaga have a legion of fans. Fans are spending money to be a part of her experience. Do it get any better? Do bullying have a better outcome than antidepressants? Is there happiness in what she does as an artist? I thought music for some was therapeutic. At any rate, I hope that Gaga find peace. I pray she find happiness in those who find it in her. To carry a burden for this long is pure sadness and loneliness.
If bullying is consuming your life speak up for yourself. The worst that could happen is a fight and trust me when I say no one escaped childhood, high school or college without a fight. If you are being harmed as a result of bullying, get your family involved. It will not make you seem weak or a snitch. The only feeble attempt to stop the abuse is no attempt.
Do not live in torment because from the looks of Lady Gaga’s life, it only gets worse. Bullying is mental abuse. Seek the advice of those who love you. Surround yourself with like minded individuals whether in academic clubs, extracurricular activities, and learn a couple of quick rebuttals in case you have to verbally defend yourself. It never hurt to have some snappy “come backs” handy. Don’t let anyone put their hands on you. Never put your hands on anyone. If you are forced to protect yourself be sure to defend yourself at all costs.
In a different direction, if you are a “bully” defined as extorting some one’s belongings with intimidation, using abusive language with intent to hurt, victimize, or assassinate a person’s character; to cause mental distress or severe social anxiety in a frightened peer. Reading those definitions, if you identify then read carefully: it is sad that you are hurt or do not have control over any aspect of your home life. To take your anger, frustration or problems out on some one who is not the root of your problem is disturbing. Your actions are not humorous the only reason anyone laughs is because they are glad you are not picking on them. I implore you to talk to a counselor about problems you are having at home or any other place. Happiness isn’t verbally assaulting your peers to tears. Everyone that is bullied do not make it to adulthood unscathed. There is the case of the Canadian teenage girl who recorded a chilling prelude to her suicide because of repeated abuse from her peer group. Maybe Lady Gaga is fortunate to survive bullying, for her to need medication is nothing to those who don’t survive bullying. Just because Lady Gaga is a successful artists doesn’t mean she’s cured from depression. Perhaps money allows her to steal a little bit of joy and delight.
