Bullying for me started when I was 5 1/2 years old I couldn't speak well, read, or write. I was bullied all through elementary school to high school I started self harming in middle school through high school. I was threatened in the restrooms numerous times so I would hold it all day because I was scared something may happen to me. I had an eating disorder. I went to high school for three years after my junior year I decided staying here at this school isn't good for me so I became home schooled my senior year. After that I started focusing on getting better and trying to remain positive. I am 20 now and happy where I am today I have been 3 years self harm free. If I could give advice to young people it would be: I know things may seem tough now but it won't be like this forever. You are strong beautiful human beings always always remember that. Always believe in yourself because that is what truly matters.
