Hello everybody! My name is Destiny Summers. I always had a problem with bullying. It all started when I was just in 3rd grade. I moved from Manchester, England to Trinidad, Colorado. It was absolutely horrible switching schools. When I got to my new school everybody made fun of my accent. It all started with that one little thing. Finally, I was getting followed home by bully's. I rode the bus so I couldn't really do anything about it. I told the principle but nothing ever was put into place about my problem. I was being followed, made fun of, simple things like that really hurt me. Finally, I got into a physical fight when i was in about 5th grade. I WAS ONLY IN 5TH GRADE! Kids do NOT need to be going through what i went through. I am in high school now and I showed all the bully's up. I am not afraid to be me. Some people do still want to TRY to bring me down because my hair is blonde, i like wearing what i wear, but I am classy. I want to be known for that, and when people try to hurt me i just kill them with kindness now. It doesn't even bother me anymore. I know i am better than them. That's what all the kids being bullied today need to know... they are not the one with the problem, the bullies are. You all have people that love you. Stand up to the bullies, kids! Hang out with the people YOU want to hang out with. DO NOT try to fit in! YOU ARE BETTER THAN THAT! And the people that don't believe so, show them you don't do drugs, show them you don't drink alcohol, show them you have good grades, because once school is all over with, none of that will matter. Show them you are not afraid to be you. Confidence is a bullies weakness. Show them you are strong. Love others and treat them how they treat you.. I love you all and I respect everyone that has been through what I have been through. Show them what you are made of and where you can go in life. ♥
