My name is Jo and I'm your average high school student. I get straight A's and never get in major problem. I started getting bullied in Junior High but a group of girls I once called my friends. They told me I wasn't pretty or skinny enough to be in their group anymore so they just like cut me out. They started calling me names and making fun of me a lot. Our school even had my grade all sit in a room and learn about bullying and how is hurts others. That didn't stop the bullies though. They continued to pick on my new friends and I. So one day when my friend Heather and I got threatened we went to the counselor and she did nothing! She just called the bullies in and asked what happened and of course the bullies lied about it. They didn't get in any trouble what so ever! Heather and I were so mad!! So we took matters into our own hands. We started ignoring the girls. When they would come around we left, if we got paired in class we asked to change partners. The bullies never really stopped til they moved. I try and stand up for anyone I see getting bullied. Even if I don't know them. I HATE bullying and I hope one day it will end completely! Thanks for reading my story!(:
