My story on being bullied

Growing up getting bullied for so many years was probably the worst 8 years of my life because in those years I had no friends… I never knew how it felt to go outside to play, sleepovers, football games, school dances, etc. I was always the quite one who always kept to herself but I guess that was a bad thing to some people. I always remembered I would always just want to be in my room & some days I would ask my mom if I could just stay home because I felt safer at home then I did in school. Mom always had my back though was always at the school even though sometimes I didn’t want her to cause I felt like it would make things worse for me. Got invited to sleepovers so people could cut off my hair while I was sleeping, getting threats texted to me, etc. I wouldn’t wish bullying upon anybody, it literally is the worst thing. But what people don’t understand is that nobody speaks up they see it happening and nobody helps that person. Schools don’t take serious action to bullying i experienced it. I couldn’t wait to just graduate because I wanted nothing to do with anybody & trust me I counted graduation down every single day. Nobody deserves to feel like they are worthless or feel like they don’t have anybody. If you see bullying happening take action to it before it’s too late, speak up and have a voice because I never did and I regret it. I was always so scared but you can make a change by helping and speaking out. Today I am stronger then ever and what people say about me has no effect on me. I am who I am and I wouldn’t change for anyone. #ProudOfWhoIAm
