I’m just a quiet girl

I had suffered from bullying when I was in elementary for being introverted; my classmates disrespect me, made fun of me, and called me names. Remembering my days of elementary school gave me horrible memories. In the beginning, they made me feel anxious and nervous. I was afraid of asking help from adults because I knew that it doesn’t stop the bullies from hurting me. I decided to ignore people who wanted to rouse a reaction out of me. They judge me for wearing my older sister’s old clothes and not spending money on unnecessary things. Despite the circumstances, I still managed to smile at my classmates who bullied me back in elementary. Being bullied, taught me to choose friends who like or love me for who I truly am, not by the mask I put on to just fit in with the group or by my social class. I learned that we don’t need to take vengeance on the bullies because payback is only for the unsophisticated and it doesn’t lead to a resolution. Everyone deserves to be respected, regardless of sex, race, social class, and physical appearance. No matter how good you are, people will always criticize you; learn how to distinguish between positive criticism and negative criticism. If you don’t feel comfortable depending on your parents, you can ask for guidance from your parents or teacher instead. You are awesome and extraordinary, that’s why bullies are jealous of you. 🙂
