Grade School Bully

Anonymous

The bullying started when I was in 4th grade. I was always the Gracie’s set kind in school and I knew it, I always had a low self esteem and a low self confidence. I had come to school in a pair of shorts one day that I really liked and a girl in my class came up to me and called me a fatty and told me I was so ugly that I needed to just go home. I ran into the bathroom and hid for an hour before the teachers finally found me. The same bully taunted me and called me names and would whisper with her group and get others to laugh and yell fatty or freak as I walked down the hallways. That continued until I was in 7th grade. When I reached 7th grade the bully left the school, but one of her friends continued to bully me and took her place, this bully didn’t stop at name calling though. No, she went on to stalk me online and cyber bully me. I thought it would never end. When I reached high school I was so thankful to be going to a good school with no bullies and the best part was, none of my past bullies were at the same high school I was attending.
When I really think about it now, I realize what a good person it made me (I am still scared by all of my bullies, trust me) but, it also helped me to be more respectful of people and their feelings and it taught me to be a good person. I have helped 3 other girls stand up and get rid of their bullies now.
You can overcome being bullied, you will make it through I promise you!
