During my life, I've been in both roles. I have been the bully, but I've also been the bullied. In elementary school, I called other kids names and told jokes about them. At the time, I didn't realize I was being an awful person but that does not make it right, and I live with those regrets everyday. However, as I grew older, and I went through the changes, i was made fun of because of how i looked. 8th grade is when it was at its worst. I had just moved to a knew school, and i had no friends. I was a loner, and was made fun of 24/7. I contemplated suicide on a number of occasions, but i knew i couldn't let them win. I was determined to change the course of my life. I started going to the gym, with the going of winning. More importantly, i realized that all people should be treated with love and compassion no matter how they looked or who they love. I changed my mood about people, and started treating them like people. in conclusion, i learned that people need to be treated with all the love and compassion in the world. Also, I've learned that bullies can't win. Bullying is a problem with a much needed answer. If you're being bullied, tell the world. Do not be scared my friends, because people can and will help you. Please know that you are not alone, and people will go leaps and bounds to help you. Read my story, and others on this site as well, and know that it can and will get better.
