At school I was bullied and cyberbullied. I told my parents what happened, and they helped me. And every day I prayed to Heavenly Father for a better relationship with my friends and that I would be strong to face what I was going through. I felt peace, and now things are getting better. I am learning to forgive the bullies and not hold a grudge.

I’ve had other experiences where God has helped me. I always say a prayer when I have a ballet performance, because I get very nervous. It always makes me calmer to think of Heavenly Father. I also practiced the piano until I was able to play at church. Even if I didn’t do it perfectly, I gave my best effort and saw blessings from the Lord.
