I was bullied since 4th grade. I was picked on because of my weight and how i looked and just how i was. I would run home crying because i didnt understand what i did for everyone not to like me. I only had a couple friends but mostly everyone just avoided me. I then got to middle school and it got a little better but I still was picked on. My mom made sure that i wouldnt. When i got there i got contacts instead of glasses, my hair grew longer, and I lost a bit of weight. But at times that wasnt enough. I didnt let peeople get to me or other kids. I stood up for myself and others too. I didnt care anymore what people would do, i would defend. Sticks and Stones is probably the worst saying ever because of course words hurt. But now i am a freshmn in high school and i dont tolerate anyone steping on me or my friends or just random people i see getting bullied. People do not understand that we have feelings too. There were times where i just wanted to run away and get away from it all, who wouldnt? But that isnt the answer or the soulution. Get help and talk to someone because there is always help. And thats what i did and now i help others. It's okay not to be okay. We sometimes just need to find the little things in life and make the most out of it. And just letting people get bullied is just horrible. Take a stand and help :) and just because things arent going good now it will get better, I promise.
