Bully 1: *whispers with other bullies* Hey 'victim', come here!"

Myself: Hey guys! What's up?

Bully 2: Hey... Why do you keep wearing those socks with bows?

Myself: My mom picks them out. I like them.

Bully 3: Hmm. Well that's all we needed you for.

So that's basically what they do to me. Nobody deserves this.

I experienced all types of bullying. It started out with verbal, then physical, then cyber.

I was only 6 years old, and I was in the 1st grade.

I was bullied by my classmates, and some of my friends. My own "friends" turned their backs on me.

They would tell me that I was ugly, and nobody liked me. It got worse as it went on. They started to call me trash, and other things I won't say - it's that bad.

I felt worthless like they said I was. I felt ugly and trashy, and that nobody loved me. Simply unwanted.

Afterwards, I would feel horrible. I would cry a lot. The worst part is when you finish crying, and then you just lay there emotionless. That's how I felt.

Music. Music was my escape. I learned to play the viola and piano, and I'm currently teaching myself guitar. It was an amazing feeling when the song understood me more than a person. Drawing and writing was another thing. It gave me something to do. I'd get it all own on paper by writing, and then, I would draw to get my mind off if it.

I used to self-harm a lot. All over my arm, my waist, and legs. They weren't deep enough to leave a permanent scar, but some were. I have fallen into a state of depression, and it's like you're stuck in a stupid rut. I'm still stuck in this stupid rut.

Many times. I've thought of it, and there was only 2 things holding me back. My friends and family, and how I was going to do it.

Eventually, I told someone. I should've done it way sooner.

I thought I wouldn't have to because I was strong and fierce, but I was getting weaker and I needed help. There's nothing wrong with needing help.

I've been bullied for 7 years. Its been a long rough journey, but it's not over yet.

Yes. Verbally and physically. But I'm going to make in through. I have 3 REAL friends, and that's all I need. They are my family; they're like sisters to me. I wouldn't be herd without them. And I'm grateful. Even after all the things I've been through, I still wouldn't want to be anybody else.

How do I get them to stop? I ask them what I did to them but they never answer.

If you're being bullied, don't hesitate getting help. There's absolutely nothing wrong with getting help.
