I have been bullied since i was about 12 i think and it has scarred me emotionally and physically. I started when peoplewould be calling me names for being 'emo' and 'different', telling me i'm fat, ugly, and useless. It got so bad that i was self-harming to take control and to express the pain i was feeling because you don't cry when you know it can't be helped and you're used to it. I shut down, stopped talking to family and friends. I truly felt alone and the only thing that was keeping me here was how my family would be. I've got a sister and two brothers and thinking of how they would be and how scarred the would be keeps me here. And even after the bully stopped, it was still with me so everyone's words shad been planted on me and that's how i saw myself. After all of this i can only tell anyone in my same position though it doesn't stop i does get better trust me. And if you every and i mean every need someone to talk to please message my on my tumblr, http://krista-in-nightmere-land.tumblr.com/ask. And just remember there is always someone you loves you no matter what.
