Hi, Call me JJ! I am going to share my story.

I've been bullied since the 5th grade. Around the 3rd Grade we moved somewhere outside of the U.S and their language was really hard to understand. I went to school and people were pretty racist. The boys would call me "American Girl" "Haram(means inappropriate)" and "White.", but my friends would stand up for me, and I was happy for that. Why are they calling me those names when I look like them and I am the same religion as them? Later I learned the language and I've been pretty good at it, but people would laugh at my accent.

5th grade: I am the only one who played with dolls while other people got iPhones, flirting with boys, and playing Truth or Dare. I seemed to be the only child(tbh I still play with dolls.) People would laugh at my hobbies and all my friends moved to another section. I was alone, until I met, well, let's just call her "friend". "Friend" played dolls like me, until she forced everyone to like One Direction and hate Justin Bieber. At that time, I had no idea who were those people. I was left out again. Even my friends got hooked to it and left me. We moved again, where I thought at school I will become popular. Guess what? WRONG!

6th Grade: I was officially an outcast. I had no idea what was Instagram, played Talking Tom, and still liked dolls. Everyone laughed at me and called me a baby. Then this girl, (call her Bully) started bullying me. One time I was standing up, and she grabbed my chair and started banging against my calfs so hard it started stinging. I had friends, but they weren't in any of my classes, and they don't stand up for me or themselves. (Now they stand up for themselves and other people.) Bully swears and judges me a lot (and so did the other kids) for example, when you are walking around and you are wearing sneakers but no socks, people make a HUGE deal about it, and start screeching. Another example was when I wear long pants instead of shorts(because of my religion) and she would ask me why I wear long pants. Even though I went to an international school, people were racist. Bully once showed an Indian show and she asked me if I look like those girls. I shouted "NO. SHUT UP!" I've had enough. It's time for me to stand up for myself and teach other people to do the same.

7th Grade (now): I am still bullied. And I am in the same school. The only advice I got was "life is like that" No action was taken to stop this. I'm trapped in depression now. I taught other people to be like Superwoman who flies across the sky being strong and fights against other people(😉) and be funny. Bully still bullies me but not often anymore. Then I became an outcast in my neighborhood, too. They had parties and did things which they weren't supposed to do, like watch Anabelle in the middle of the night and watch Pretty Little Liars(little kids did that too.) I joke that I do those things and they tell me that it's too inappropriate for me. Why do they tell me NOT to do these things when THEY ARE THE SAME AGE AS ME!😡😡😡 (My face is actually turning red while typing this.)

Advice? Stand up for yourself, and teach others to do the same.

Please let yourselves know that you are not alone.
