My freshman and sophomore year were absolutely terrible. If you didn't have the right shoes or clothes, you were automatically an outcast. I tried to fit in, but it didn't work out. I became very shy and awkward. Then, people staring pushing me around, bumping into my in the hallways, pushing me down so everyone would have to stop and get upset. Then, people who put things in my locker telling me to go kill myself and how I was a whore. My parents went to the school and nobody did anything and said they were just messing around & "Teenagers will be teenagers" That is not an excuse. My parents took me out of that school and put me into a different one and I've had the best experience and I've made so many new friends and I just want everyone out there to know if you're having a hard time, Don't give up.
