A few months ago I went to a mall and I saw one of my friends. She was walking with her sister
l called out to her but she kept on walking. l ran up to her but she started laughing at me.

The following day at school l told her l didn’t like the way she treated me but she only laughed and said that she couldn’t hang out like me. As the days followed she and her new friends called me names but l only laughed it out. When l got home l cried my eyes out. l told a teacher and the bullying stopped. Then a boy got interested in me and most of the “cool” grade 7’s made fun of him about me. Then my ex-friend started calling me names again, took my stuff and made me feel ugly. l started becoming like them.

l wore short uniforms like them but they still made fun of me. Then l became depressed. What l’m trying to say is don’t be afraid to speak up and face the fact that you are being bullied.
