HeyUGLY.org Information

Hey U.G.L.Y. – Unique Gifted Lovable You is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, that is saving the lives of youth who are suicidal due to bullying through content on our HeyUGLY.org website, in our school assemblies and with our mental health tools. We empower youth, across the globe, to be part of the solution to bullying, substance abuse, racism and suicide. We help them be WHO THEY ARE instead of having to act how they think they need to be in order to fit in. We remember what it was like being afraid to be ourselves and always feel the need to compete with others. We know what it feels like to be bullied, especially the bullying we do to ourselves. When someone says something awful to us we repeat it to ourselves, 3,000 times. We coined the term, Self-bullying® to help youth get in touch and stop that voice in their heads that tell them they are not good enough and learn how to tame it. And lastly, we also know what it feels like to think self-harm and suicide is the only way out of the pain. But most importantly, we know life gets better and we share that on our Why I’m Glad I Didn’t Take My Life web page.
