Hi, my name is Lydia. I am 11 years old and in 6th grade. All throughout my school life, I have been bullied. My best friend would always stand up for me when that happened. Then, in 3rd grade, my best friend left. Then the bullying got worse. I was being excluded from games and groups, called "freak and "nerd", and it got to the point that I didn't want to go to school in the morning. I would sit alone at lunch every day, praying that it would turn around. Then, I saw a commercial about bullying. I told my teacher, who did all that she could to stop it. Then, one day, a boy came to sit by me at lunch. I told him how I felt, and he would protect me when I would be bullied. He started being bullied as well, but he told me he didn't care. He then got all of the boys to be on our side. The bullying then callmed down, but it would still happen from time to time, because I was hanging out with the boys so much, girls would question whether or not i was a girl (for some wierd reason). The bullying will still happen now, but I have gotton on the good side of the most popular girl. Now, I will not stand by when someone is being bullied. I will try my best to put a stop to it immediately. I try, so you should try, too.
