I am a junior in highschool and just last year is when my bullying started. i mean i have always gotten that girl bullying in like 3-6 grade but every grade after that i was okay and up until last year is when it got bad. I am and have been dating a boy that used to be a girl, otherwise known as "transgender" and well people are often closed minded and didnt agree with it. so i then started to get bullied, people that used to be my friends left my side and became the biggest bullys of all, it got to the point where i am now homeschooled. i have no friends other than my family and my boyfriend. and honestly, id rather have it that way. i was lucky to have such an understanding family willing to help me. My highschool didnt seem to take what was happening to me very serious. i went to them almost every day for the entire year and nothing happened, so this year is my first year being homeschooled. i know how bullying hurts and the extent it can go and i will make my voice heard when i say it NEEDS to stop because it not only hurts the bully victim, it hurts their families too and everyone who cares for that person.
