Ever since I was in kindergarden, I had been a victim of bullying mostly because I was different.  I didn't listen to the same music the others did, I liked The Beatles and "old people" music.  It also didn't help that I was the smallest in the whole class.  Sometimes it got so bad that I would throw the hardback dictionaries that were in the classrooms.  No one ever did anything, always saying "Kids will be kids" or "They just wanna get your attention".  If I'm being truthful, I still have issues concerning my image.  But if you are currently a victim and you're reading this, know that there are people out there who care.  That you are truly not alone.  And that yeah it sucks to be completely alone at night in bed and crying your heart out, but you know what?  Think about the future, sure there will always be people who criticize you and put you down, but in the end YOU are the one who decides if you're gonna listen to them or just keep on walking with your head held up like you don't give a damn about their comments.  OH! before I forget... I LOVE YOU! (yes, I know you're a stranger and you have no connection to me but I do.  What can I say? I'm selfless.)  Don't let them win, because in the end their opinions don't matter.  They really don't.
