Cyberbullied

I was cyberbullied when I was in eight and ninth grade. I was harassed through texts and emails. I had death threats sent to me, and people accusing me of the cause of their own suicide. Messages saying that I should go kill myself, but then I wasn’t even worth it for the funeral. Oh the verbal abuse! There grew a point where their toxic words were like venom. It was a drug that I could never not read. For a while, I didn’t understand why. Why was it me that was being bullied? What did I do to deserve this? How could I fix this? It took a lot of time to learn how to be myself again. Through it all, I learned that we choose what we listen to, whether it is good or bad. I am now eager to graduate in a few months and am here to say that life, as cruel and relenting it can be, does have its blissful moments between its tempests.
