The Way I See Myself

Bullying has done much harm to me. I was tripped in the halls because I wore leg braces and beat up for having Asperger’s syndrome. To this day, I look in the mirror and cry sometimes. I wish we were all blind so the bullies couldn’t judge me, but would listen to what I had to say. I find that even if I’m called “Healthy Weight” , even if a doctor says it, I can’t bring myself to realize that I’m not fat. If someone says, “You look fine!” I take it as, “You look ugly!” Even if I tried my hardest and got a B on an exam, I think and tell myself how dumb I am. The bullies did this to me. Never bully. You are smarter than that.
