Three years ago I started a new school, I knew nobody and I was scared. Well within a week I met this girl, I thought she was going to be my best friend but I turned out to be wrong... We were friends all through out 6th grade, but at the end of 6th grade I knew she was just using me because she thought I was rich and could get her everything. Well near the middle of 7th grade she started to spread rumors about me saying I self harm (and I didn't/don't) because I was hanging out with other another girl. She ended up getting so mad that she started to cyber bully me on Instagram, but once I told her I couldn't be her friend anymore because of what she did she dropped down to her lowest level. She called the police in my saying I was planning on killing myself that night, then she posted a picture saying I hacked her instagram and put a picture of somebody cutting them self. (Which is something that somebody should never joke or even lie about.) Well the police showed up at my house and I told them everything that she did to me and how she was cyber bullying me. I felt so embarrassed, knowing everybody saw that post and reading the comments on it was even worse people called me crazy and some people didn't even care. This felt like the lowest point that I had ever hit. I just wished nobody would never have to see anybody at that school again, or even have to go to school the next morning. I was going to transfer schools but I decided that I wasn't going to let her win. The police really did nothing because cyber bullying isn't a crime where I live but they did say I could go after her with a charge of inducing panic and basically ruining my reputation. But I dropped all charges against her because they were minor I knew nothing would happen, all she would do is get fined I wanted to make sure that she never did this to anybody else again. So the next morning my mom and I talked to my vice principal and told her everything that happen. She trusted me because of my behavior in school knowing I never did anything the other girl told her. She never really did anything and she never really did. That girl never got in trouble for her actions. All my vice princeipal did was tell my teacher what was going on and let them know that we couldn't be by each other. Which led to only one of my teachers actually worrying about what was going on, he was the only person that really cared about my well being. His class was the only class I felt safe in, only because he cared and I loved music it was my escape from everything that was going on (The class was my band class.) She was also in band but I just ignored her. Only one good thing happen that day, I met my true best friends. Three girls invited me to sit with them and ever since then we have been inseparable. But to this day I still have problems with this girl but I just ignore them. She tells people that I was the one that called the cops on her but I think if they truly want to know and be my friend they should ask my side of the story. I am still in that one class with her but I wasn't going to let her ruin what I love and what I want to do for the rest of my life. But what I gained from this experience was three great true friends that are always there for me...

I just want to let every know that is getting bullied that if you just stay strong things will get better, you may even gain great things from your experiences. Yes there will be bumps in the road and you will experience hard times in your life but things will improve, Trust me. Just stay strong and fight on!!
