Bullies

Hey Readers;

I just watched a youtube clip of a kid who is being bullied for being gay. The kid is only 13. He's even attempted suicide several times. Bullying is so ridiculous. I was bullied from 1st - 5th grade. I remember the main girl who bullied me turned everyone against me for no reason. I do remember this same girl kissed me in 1st grade. I felt it wasn't right and told her so. Since then she started bullying me. If I did something better than her she would make me give whatever it was to her. Ex. One day during Arts and Craft we were painting. My picture looked so much better than hers and she knew it and so did everyone else. She told everyone not to talk to me and to just be downright mean and nasty to me if we didn't switch paintings. I didn't do it. I felt I did the work I deserved the credit for it.  I eventually had a semi-fight with this girl. She hit me and I hit her back. After that she hated me even more but I was happy. So what if no one spoke to me or even ate lunch with me but my Godsister. I've seen this girl so years back and she only looked at me really strange. Can we say, "Grow Up!"

I have been considered the outsider for years after. I believe because of the horrible 1st years of school I encountered is probably the reason I locked myself into a box. Not literally. A reason for the social issues I have. I've never had many friends. I've had like 2 main friends at a given time. I mean even now I have 3 really good friends and thats it and includes my hubby.

Bullying needs to stop for real. It affects us in more ways than people know. Most kids bully because they are missing something or not getting enough of something from home. Please readers teach your children not to be a bully but more of a friend.

Thanks Readers
