I HAVE BEEN BULLIED
now i guess i'll share my own story...
it was fifth grade. me and her were both assigned the same safety patrol post by the gym. at first, we started off as friends, me letting her listen to my mp3 player and her letting me borrow her little tamagotchi game thing. but then, i guess something clicked in her head. i was geeky with freakish hexagonal glasses and frizzy hair. and what's worse, i had told her about my stomach problem. that really started it. then every night, she'd call me up and tell me the whole list of people who hated me,and not to talk to them, and that i wasn't allowed to sit by them at lunch. i'd either have to sit with the boys (who oddly excepted me) and sometimes my friend's teacher would let me sit with her at lunch. my mom tried to get the school involved, but they thought we were lying! the girl was involved in a bunch of activities helping the younger grades, and her mom was part of the PTO, so she ran about every fundraiser he school had. one day, my mom was so fed up that she got involved. normally i would've been horrified, but i was so fed up. she stormed up and screamed at this girl and her mother, trying to figure out what i had done to deserve such terrible behavior. she never bothered me again, but everything she did was still with me. when i had to stand by her in chorus, i would try and ignore her every move. i just hated her for that, and she kick-started some very bad habits of mine that, five years later, i'm still in therapy for. bullying hurts, and the pain never leaves you.
that's my story
share yours?
