Stupid last name

Anonymous

I have always been bullied a little. It never got horrible until 5th grade, though. My last name was.. well, “funny”, and people liked to point fingers about that. I was also being patronized for being tall, and kids would call me ‘World’s tallest ***’ I went into 6th grade, and it by far got worse. I was sent a love letter by someone I knew, but people were just screwing around with me, and I got a second letter with the same name on it. Inside, it said “Go make love with a noose. Nobody loves you except for the noose.” I was being pointed and laughed at for being smart as well, because in middle school you know that is not considered “cool”. By 7th grade, I was a laughing stock. A punching bag of shame. Kids would find me after school, and throw backpacks at me. One kid even threw a dumbell at the back of my head once. Now I’m in 8th grade. I told the counselor, obviously, but told her to keep it secret to everyone. She was crying after hearing it. Thank you for bringing me this site for telling my story.
