There's Nothing Wrong with Being a Harry Potter Nerd! by: Trevor M.
Hey Ruth,
Thanks for your great contribution to this site. I'm so glad you got so much happiness out of the Harry Potter films and books. It looks as though it's been a huge part of your life and will be forever :))
As for the bullies, you need to keep yourself safe of course so you need to be careful who you share your precious memories with. Some are just not worth it.
Most importantly, don't let what they say get you down because I'd wager there's a lot more people in the world that would agree with you about Harry Potter than not.
Additionally, bullies only operate when they can get a reaction from the person being bullied. Two thoughts I think might help is that:
1. Your own opinion of yourself is the most important one, and...
2. What other people think of you is none of your business.
I know that last one sounds strange but when you think of it, it allows you to disassociate yourself from someone else's "stinking thinking", as I like to say.
I hope this helps with the negative people. Keep happy and keep enjoying your love of everything Harry Potter because it's your right and your choice.
Like Hagrid said to Hermione when she was called a mudblood...
