Since I was in third grade i have been bullied, my name is tess and my older brother and his friends started called my tess tickles (testicles) and i though it was a joke because it was my older brother and we were young so i just thought it was something that brothers do to little sisters, but in the forth grade people used that name to hurt me but i still ignored it. Yes it made me upset but you know i 6 years old i didn't know what testicles were. After a while the name got tired and no one called me that anymore, but the bullying didn't stop people would throw basketballs, and soccer balls at my head, so i would hide the best i could away from those kids but i went to school with only 47 students in it so it was easy to find me. The ball throwing went on until i started high school. When i began high school the first year was great for me but horrible for so many people that i bullied because i thought bullying makes you cool and stuff but that all went down the drain in the second year of high school when i saw those kids that i picked on go and sit with their older siblings or by themselves and i felt horrible because i had been bullied, so one day i was talking to one of the girls i bullid her name is (NOT SAYING HER NAME she wants to keep her name confidential) and i was so mean to her so i decided that i wanted to apologise to her and i wanted to start over with her because it was horrible to see her sad because i knew what it was like to not have many friends so i went up to her and i could pure fear in her eyes because she was scared that i was going to do something to her anyway i went and sat with her and i apologised for every horrible thing i did to her and we started to talk more and more that day, my ''Friends'' saw me talking to her and basically disowned me as a friend. but me and this girl became really close good friends for three years we were called dykes, grossoes, fugly fat f*cks, but one day we decided that we had enough so one day in PE class they were picking on us for not getting points for our team and there was 7 seven people against 2 seems fair. Anyway they kept calling names and all we said was cool everytime they insulted us all we said with a monotone voice was cool then they asked us if that was the only word we knew and started calling us retards we just said cool. Now i'm so glad and apologised to her or else we may have never have become bestfriends and friends with lots of people and those bullys have only got each other they tried to apologise to us but we knew it was fake now not many people pay attention to what they have to say and now im happy loving life and most people can change. I may not the prettiest girl out there but it doesnt matter i love who i have become and those girls will forever and alway be ugly right to the BONE!!!
