I am currently in 8th grade and I am constantly bullied. People call me “thick thighs” and “thick midgit” and as much as I hate to say it, those words hurt. It’s mostly boys that tell me those things. It started out as just one kid saying it, then my whole class, then my whole school, then I started to believe it. I kept all my feelings bawled up inside of me until I just couldn’t take it. I began to cry whenever I was alone. “Why me?”
I may have more meat on my bones than the average 13 year old, but I also have more brain cells than the typical teenager. If you’re in my situation, then we can go through this together and stop the hate. I ask you, Why do you feel the need to tear someone down, to build yourself up? If you are a bystander reading this, I ask you, Are you really going to stand by and let someone feel shitty about themselves? And lastly to the victim reading this, I tell you, FIGHT BACK!!! Life is going to be all right if you join the fight against bullying.
