I've been getting bullied since about the 1st grade. I am now in 8th grade and I am still getting bullied. I've gotten called mean names, pushed and shoved around, and I've been called to kill myself. I honestly have no clue why some people have to be so mean to others to the point where they want to end their life. It is very messed up. I have a friend, that committed suicide because of getting bullied. I don't tell many people this because its hard for me. She was one of my best friends and now she's gone, because of one person, pushing her over the edge. It made a great impact on my life. I've realize what words can really do to people. There have been many times when I have self harmed, thought about self harming, and thought about suicide. I used to think that I had a horrible life. But I have realized that I'm not alone. There are many people out there that get bullied and have been through what I have or even worse. I've gotten help from teachers, parents, friends, other adults, and many other people. I don't self harm anymore which I am very proud of. You're life is a treasure. If you have or are thinking about ending your life, just think... thee are people in this world that love you and really care about you. They would be devastated if you were gone. Just let the haters hate. Things will always get better. You're gorgeous/handsom just the way you are. Every single human being is perfectly imperfect in their own little ways. Words can really hurt a person so please, think what you're about to say, before you say it. It could save a life.
