growing up is never easy and for me i found it alot harder as im shy and from a young age i developed a skin condition so in primary and secondary school it made me an easier target to be picked on by other kids. this one girl would call me names, tell lies to other people so then they would start to hate me just as much as she did. my primary school had a strong no bullying rule but in my secondary school they didn't seem to listen or care. i started to become an outsider and i lost more and more confidence and lost friends. they was never violence towards me but they was verbal abuse and cyber abuse and that hurts and damages just as much. i grew up in England in chelmsford city were in most schools bullying was never heard of or talked about even though it happens. this one girl believed ad still believes that i turn her friends against her and believes that i am a monster. my skin condition made people not to come near me that often because they thought that they were going to catch something from my skin like it was a disease and that it could kill you if you catch it. it started to destroy my life. i felt a victim when i believe now i'm a survivor.
