I was bullied for as long as i can remember. I was different that's all. I got bullied really badly in grade 8 and 9 though. This kid decided to make my life a living hell and verbally bully me. Everyday i would get called fat, ugly, retarded, a slut, a whore, and many more awful names (I apologize if any of those words were offensive to you). I started to cut, he found out ad new names came in like emo b**** and suicidal freak, things like that. it wouldn't end. The worst part of it was that the people I thought were my friends saw it and did nothing about it. I was told to get over it. They thought that getting bullied everyday and feeling absolutely worthless about yourself was something you could just get over. They just stood there and watched. One day he told me he wished he had never met and and that I should go die while my "friend" just stood there  and didn't stand up for me. Just before grad he told me that he hated me and he never wanted to see or talk to me again (I hadn't talked to him for a while at this point). In grade 9 he stopped but more people started. i was told to die and the teacher heard and he just told us to back off of each other. Also a bunch of kids in front of me decided on places they were going to ship me off to so they would never have to see me again and i would end up dying in these countries. They all just laughed. I learnt that you have to love yourself because everyone else might hate you for who you are and just because your bullied doesn't mean your friends will stand you for you. The part that hurt the most about getting bullied almost my whole life is the fact that no one ever stood up for me. So love yourself because nobody may not. Stay Strong <3.
