Happy Spirit Day! Here Are 8 Anti-Bullying Anthems That Will Make You Feel Beautiful No Matter What.
1. “Born This Way,” by Lady Gaga
Quote:
|
Paws up! The Mother Monster is here to remind that “there’s nothing wrong with loving who you are” because — black, white, gay, straight, chola or subway kid — you are beautiful because you were born that way.

2. “Beautiful,” by Christina Aguilera
3. “F***in’ Perfect,” by P!nk
Quote:
|
“You can’t move mountains by whispering at them,” wrote P!nk, in the release for this video. “I support the kids out there that feel so desperate/numb/powerless, that feel unseen and unheard, and can’t see another way.. I want them to know I’m aware. I have been there. I see them. Sometimes that’s all it takes.”
|
4. “Skyscraper,” by Demi Lovato
Quote:
|
Demi’s got a quiver of hurt in her voice here, and so you really know she means it when she sings: “Go on and try to tear me down/I will be rising from the ground, like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.”
|
5. “Firework,” by Katy Perry
Quote:
|
Perry recently performed this song as a duet with a young, autistic fan for Comedy Central’s Night Of Too Many Stars, and we will never be able to hear it the same again.
|
6. “Unpretty,” by TLC
Quote:
|
Pretty on the inside is pretty on the outside.
|
7. “Mean,” by Taylor Swift
Quote:
|
This song might be aimed at Kanye West, or maybe a mean music journalist (certainly not us, because we would never!), but it serves as a good reminder that you don’t have to put up with anyone who is being mean. All you have to do is repeat after Taylor: “Someday I’ll be big enough so you can’t hit me, and all you’re ever going to be is mean.”
|
8. “I Believe I Can Fly,” by R. Kelly
Quote:
|
You’ve got the wings, now spread ‘em!
