I am currently in 8th grade and I am constantly bullied. People call me “thick thighs” and “thick migit” and as much as I hate to say it, those words hurt. It’s mostly boys that tell me those things. It started out as just one kid saying it, then my whole class, then my whole school, then I started to believe it. I kept all my feelings bawled up inside of me until I just couldn’t take it. I began to cry whenever I was alone. “Why me?” I may have more meat on my bones than the average 13 year old, but I also have more brain cells than the typical teenager. If you’re in my situation, then we can go through this together and stop the hate that is the cause for so many teen suicides. Individually, we may feel small and weak, but if we unite, we are 10 times stronger than any bully. If you are bully reading this, I ask you, Why do you feel the need to tear someone down, to build yourself up? If you are a bystander reading this, I ask you, Are you really going to stand by and let someone feel inferiors? And lastly to the victim reading this, I tell you, FIGHT BACK!!! Whether that means punching the bully of telling someone, fight back and don’t give anyone control over you. Life is going to be all right if you join the fight against bullying.
