I am Tailor Johnson-Sale I am currently 13. I have been getting bullied since the beginning of 6th grade but not as bad as now. Last year they called me funny names like bean bean burrito. I thought they were joking around until they told me I was stupid and ugly. I went to my counselor and they couldn't do anything about it because it was the end of the school year. So school started back up like 6 months ago and I've been feeling horrible. It just got worse. Just like they say "7th grade is the worst year of middle school" it is. It sucks. I was in the bathroom stall one day at the beginning of the school year and j heard them talking. Alexa is my best friend by the way. They said "Did you hear Alexa is going back to her old friends?" "Yeah it's a matter of time before she goes back to that hoe tailor." I say in there for a few minutes. They didn't leave. So I came out of the stalls and one said "your hair is short" I said "yeah, I know." Then Jaden (my main bully) said "why did you cut your hair?" I said " because I wanted too." I left the bathroom and went back to the cafeteria. I told Alexa what happened and we decided not to tell until more stuff happened. We were in the halls like a week later and they stomped their feet and yelled. "THOTSSssS". Everyone laughed. They've been calling me names behind my back like, "lesbian" "gay" "hoe" slut" "dumbass". It hurts these words DO hurt. So recently me and Alexa were added to a group chat and my exfriend Sam added Jaden into it and started threatening her. With over 100 messages. Me and Alexa together sent like 30 messages. And Jaden took it to the administrator of 7th grade. She called us into the office with a police officer in there and threatened to arrest us. We didn't know whether or not we were getting arrested (for harassment) but Sam sent all the messages. So now I'm not talking to Sam because of this. I never asked for this drama. She started this all and it ended up badly we almost got arrested! I don't know how to feel anymore. 😟 My advice. If your getting bullied. Stay strong. you are a fighter! You have the choice to fight back! Don't let that be taken from you!
