Attacked

I don’t know if there was something in my voice, the way I carried myself, or what, but I was a favorite target of bullies. I was one of the smallest kids in the school and had a speech impediment. I didn’t know how to fight back, and so the students thought that it would be easy to torment me. This continued up until the end of elementary school. Once I reached middle school, I was physically bullied as well as mentally. I would be pushed down and stepped on in the halls, knocked into walls and called freak, or kids would just call out insults as they walked past. I didn’t find myself until I reached high school and one of the teachers decided to implement a Cool 2 Be Kind club. I think this club saved my life, for I was very insecure about myself and the couple of teachers who dealt with the club basically took me under their wings. I have since then found my feet and try my best to help others who go through situations similar to my own.
