I was a bully my 9th grade year, believe it or not. I physically hurt someone . I have never done that before! I felt so bad. The girl called me names and then that's when I lost it. I wish I new the easy ways to avoid what people would say but being a freshman you don't no. I got better . But then my sophomore - junior year I almost took my own life. Not of bullying but because the guy I fell in love with cheated on me when we were together forever. He cheated on me with my best friend. My father came Into my room when I was laying on the ground screaming. He held me. He hates that guy to this day . However I still love him. My junior year, I moved back to Maine. It was tough being a new girl all over again and not knowing how people were anymore. I was instantly called a 'whore', 'slut' and 'skank' because guys wanted the 'new girl'. I never slept with anyone. Then people got over themselves. Next thing you know, a friendship between me and a girl ended and all hell broke loose. I never expected to be turned on and be made fun of so much. It got to the point where 'cliques' would hate me for the way I looked and talked and walked. I reported it to the office, but the office claimed there was vague information because there was no 'proof' . How can you tell someone that's being bullied and tells you what happen and because here's no 'proof'. I created a fake facebook page to get some 'proof' . That was invalid and I was in trouble because I was the one who made a facebook page. I regret the page because it didn't help. And honestly I just set myself up for more pain. I even went to police but there wasn't anything he could really do besides letting me put a restraining order on one girl. Then the rest of the 'clique' found out and I received messages asking "you gunna put a restraining order on me now?" . Honestly I was at my breaking point. This kid told me he would buy me a rope to tie around my neck and hang myself. At that point I turned to weed and alcohol. I'm so much better now because of my best friend was there for me and my family. I gave up all socail media and my phone just to start over. NOW I'm back and ready to help everyone whose had experience one way or another.
