Actress Kim Haneul Bullied as a Child

I've been writing a bunch about FT Island recently so I decided to take a break. Tonight I read an article on AllKPop about Kim Haneul.

Kim Haneul is one of Korea's top actresses, but that's not what caught my eye. What caught my eye was that she was opening up about some bad experiences as a child.

She revealed in an interview that she had been bullied a couple of times in elementary and junior high school.

She had tried to get closer to kids, but when she tried to, kids would ask why she was staring at them. I'm thinking there was more that they said thant that, but it didn't come over in translation. She became so withdrawn, ate alone at lunch, and didn't want to talk to anyone after those incidents.

Eventually, she transferred schools and was able to make new friends.

Why am I writing about this? Cause I was a victim of bullying and I know a couple of others who were bullied when they were younger.

Kids are so innocent. Sometimes they forget their actions hurt other people. Some may do it intentionally, like pull hair or take personal things away.

It's not cool. It wasn't cool then, and it certainly isn't cool now.

Bullying is a problem in schools all over the world. We need to realize when someone needs help, realize our actions may have scarring effects. And always remember the Golden Rule about doing to others as they would to you.

If you or another person you know love to bully someone, let Kim Haneul serve as a reminder that the person you may be bullying could very well be the next star, country president, or even your doctor, one day. And wouldn't you be crap out of luck if you ever met them again layer in life?
