I am Strong Now

I have always gotten bullied, ever since I can remember. When I was in middle school, I was trying to figure out who I was, and where I belong. However, my society made it very complicated for me, because my mother would tell me that I was beautiful, while when I went to school I heard the exact opposite. People are really rude, they can be really cruel, and being in middle school I did not know how to react and how to deal with whatever I was going through. I struggled to fit in, to meet the unattainable beauty standards, and to try to be popular. I was bullied because I was tiny and I was considered “underweight” although people do know that this was due to a medical disorder. I was bullied because I used to “stutter” and people still did not know that that was also due to a psychological problem. I used to get bullied by my own teachers, I got discriminated against because of my physical appearance. When I changed schools and I started high school, I realized that now I have to be a stronger person, I joined anti bullying organizations and I am now heavily involved in them. I have started my own initiatives and I have taken the lead in many others, in order to make sure that other girls out there don’t go through what I have gone through. If you are experiencing bullying right now, I know exactly how you feel, but don’t you DARE GIVE UP. I would like to thank all the people who have believed me, because I know that this was not their intention but they have made me a better person. I am strong now.
