My whole life i have been bullied for being different. Because I was a girl that liked boys AND girls. No one wanted to be friends with the freak. I had no one growing up. When my mother found out, all she said was its not natural, its just a phase,  you'll grow out of it. OF course, I never did. But always feeling unloved/unwanted by my peers and my own mom was hard for me. The teasing at school from elementary school through the time I graduated high school, pushed me to the brink of suicide. I still battle with depression from the years I dealt with being bullied. But I am doing what I can to raise awareness about bullying. And I hope to one day change the world through my books and my actions.
