It all started when I was in 5th grade. The stereo-typical bully would shout out, “loser or freak”, but I never let it get to me. As the year progressed, it got worse; now it was becoming physical, but I still didn’t let it get to me. Beginning 6th grade things got worse and worse. Kids were calling me very harsh names, used threatening words, and left horrible notes in my locker.
It continued and even turned into rumors about my sexuality and lies about my personal life. I didn’t know what to do, or where to turn, because I felt like no one could help me. The only two options I felt I had were…life or suicide. For a while I had chosen suicide, I was thinking about it all the time. Finally, I reached out to a group of my friends and my mom got me to a doctor who was very supportive during those long winter months of 2010. Without them, I know that what I would have chosen would have been horrible.
Now, I push bullies to the side and don’t let them get to me, and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. If any of you reading this need help or advice click on the link “CONTACT”.
