I loved drawing animals and would regularly upload my drawings to my social media page.

I really enjoyed the sense of community it gave me. However, one day I overheard some girls in my class laughing about my drawings and saying that they were rubbish.

This made me feel very sad, I spoke to a friend about it, and she reminded me that I could always block these people and change my privacy settings.

I enjoyed sharing my drawings and didn’t really want to block my account so I just blocked those girls.

My friend reminded me that my social time is my space to express myself and I shouldn’t listen to others.

Now if I ever get a mean comment, I remind myself that I make art for my happiness and myself.
