I was picked on relentlessly in 7th grade by a girl who was older than me. It was name calling for the most part but others started joining in and one girl even tried sticking my head down a toilet. Even when I moved to a new town, the "friends" I thought I had were also bullies to me. High school was better though there was still slight bullying my freshman year. The things I've experienced from being bullied have stuck with me and the memories still hurt. For a very long time I was depressed until I realized that I deserved to be happy. I'm 18 and a senior now and things are so much better. I believe everything I've been through has made me stronger in the end because no one has the power to make me feel like nothing unless I let them and that's just not going to happen anymore. I hope that seeing Bully has opened people's eyes to how big of an issue bullying really is. I pray for the families who have lost someone because of it and pray for the ones still going through it.
