Hey, my name is Destiny, I am currently 15 years old, I am a sophomore in high school. I guess you could say that I am one of the popular kids at school, but that's because I stick up for everybody, no matter what is "wrong" with them by society's standards. When I was in fourth grade I was tormented every day, for months and months. It started out just getting called names by two of the older kids on the bus. Then they'd start to throw stuff at me one day, I guess name calling got boring. After a few weeks of throwing things at me, they began to follow me home. They would shout horrible things at me and throw stones at me. I would always just wait and make my sister walk home ahead of me, I didn't want her to see me cry. Then I guess they got bored just being the two of them, they invited their friends to join in. Now I was being followed by 5-10 people everyday, they just yelled at me, and threw stones. After this going on about two months, one day I decided I'd throw the rocks back. They stopped for the day. The next day I was followed home by 24 kids.ages 5-17. This was the day my mom found out. They didn't even follow me, the surrounded me and began to throw rocks. Except this time, they didn't just throw rocks, they threw their ookbags, they took chunks of cement out of the road, the picked up sticks, their books, anything thing they could find they threw it at me. This went on for a good 20 minutes instill my friends mom drove by, she went to my house and got my mom. When the school says they care they rruely don't, only 2 people got in trouble. If you're being bullied, TELL SOMEBODY. Tell your mom, tell your family. Don't let it escalate to the point you want to die. You are worth more then that, I want to add a PS to my story, my friend Savanna Kaiser died on November 5th 2010 due to bulling. You are loved, she was loved, somebody does love you, because I do. Stay strong,<33,
