《BULLIED》Submission 1008
Advertisement
Hi. My name is EmilyArnold165. This story isn't about me but about my little brother...
I never had a problem with bullying really. I think that everyone experiences a time in their life when they meet someone that doesn't like them but I was never really bullied.
My little brother was though. He was picked on for little things like he has ADD and his grades aren't the greatest. He loves Anime and likes to babble all day long about them.
But one day we were on the bus on our way to school. My brother was talking to one of his friends about middle names and what his was. When suddenly one of his other "friends" yelled from the back of the bus. "You're a disgrace to my first name!"
I was upset that someone that was supposed to be his friend was saying those things about him. So I stood up and called back "A lot of people have that middle name" I don't understand what was so wrong about that sentence but he yelled back "Well those people aren't (insert r-word here)"
I was so mad I yelled back at him "Don't call my brother a f****** r*****"
He instantly went into 'Fight or Flight mode. He knows not to mess with me most of the time especially by my tone of voice. "I didn't call your brother a r*****"
I was already furious and that just made it worse. Thankfully it was time to get off the bus.
When I got inside I went to the Principal and told her what had happened on the bus she called all three of us down to the office to talk it out.
Half-way through explaining what had happened again, I broke down in tears. I was already pretty choked up to begin with but when she started asking questions like "and how does that make you feel?" I stormed out of the office saying I needed walk.

I ran into one of my favourite teachers on the way out the office. I had meant to just walk upstairs and sit in the bathroom until I'd calmed down enough to go back. But she brought me outside and we took about 8 laps of the school. She talked me down and I went back inside.
My brother still gets bullied from time to time but as often as I can I stand up for him.
"When someone hurts you over and over again, think of them like sandpaper. They may scratch and hurt you but in the end, you end up polished and they end up useless"
- Andy Biersack
Never let anyone tell you that you are not good enough. Never let anyone tell you that you aren't normal. Normal is a setting on a washing machine. Just because you don't fit someones idea of "Normal" doesn't mean that you are any less than them. In fact. anyone that decides to hate on you will get nowhere in life. Because they only focus on the things they don't like.
Be who you are because there is no one else you can be... Everyone else is taken. Be unapologetic about the way you are.
"Today you are you that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you" - Dr. Seuss.
More times than none. People hate on you because you are the person that they will never be.

How the Stars Turned Red
Announcement as of 05 July 2022: I've been diagnosed with some pretty severe nerve damage in my left arm, rendering me unable to write effectively, and as such this story is on hold until it is healed. I am so sorry, and I promise to get back to writing as soon as possible. In the latter half of the 3rd millennium CE, humanity has spread across the stars, inhabiting close to five-hundred worlds across the Orion Arm. Earth has become irrelevant, a historical has-been. The galactic map is dominated by two mega-factions, both controlling vast amounts of territories either through direct control or through their many allies and treaty signatories. The Kingdom of Aurora is the political and economic hegemon despite consisting of only seven inhabited worlds; their strength lies in the Royal Union, an interstellar commonwealth composing an internal market and a common defence pact. These member worlds are myriad and varied, culturally as well as politically, but they all flock to the same banner. The Independent Systems Alliance, spearheaded by the Republic of Elysium, is the ascendant challenger to Aurora and the Union. A pseudo-federal multi-system polity, the Alliance economy and military is rapidly expanding, but at the cost of effective democratic and meritocratic involvement by its people. However, with two superpowers as this, chafing along a common border, and with a constant clamour of polemics, both sides have become convinced the other is constantly preparing for war and are on the look-out for any perceived weakness in their opponent. The predictable result is a huge arms race and a cold war spreading across the stars, requiring only a spark to set the galaxy aflame. Drawn into this game of high stakes are ordinary men and women, their peaceful lives, hopes, and aspirations swallowed by the vortex of conflict and distrust. This is their story. Cover art by Rhodex Designs (FB). Hope you like long chapters and adjectives. Note: English is not my first language. Another story set in the same universe, written by a good friend
