It all started when I was 9 years old. I got bullied physically and mentally every single day. I didn't have any friends. They shoved me to the ground, they sprayed cleaning spray in my eyes and called me names. Sometimes they acted like I didn't existed, like I was invisible. I came home crying every single day for 3 years. My family was very supportive and fought against this. The school always said "there is no bullying going on in this school", "*my name* always seems so happy here" and " everything is fine". After a long struggle we gave up. I got in a new school. My life turned upside down, I met so many nice kids in my new school. Kids who actually cared, friends who I trusted. Those years were the best years of my life. I know I said "we gave up" but that didn't mean that we would give up on life. We gave up on trying to change the bullies, we gave up on sending non stop emails to the school, we gave up on complaining. We got a new life, I got a new life, a better life and I thank god for it every single day.

I will fight against bullying! I will fight for others who cannot fight for themselves! Let's help each other and make this world a better place and make our children feel safe in school! 

Stand up for yourselves and be who you are! Dare to be different and to stand out. 

And always remember that you are not alone.
