Years of torture

Anonymous

Ever since I started 5th grade at a new school in a new state things went downhill for me. I was a positive 11 year old ready for a fresh start and new friends. It started with shoving and cutting me in line. Then it was the whispering and ignoring me. Then middle school came. There were more kids in the grade. Little did i know i would be constantly be whispered about behind my back and have many rumors about me. Depression and anxiety didn’t start until 7th grade and it got progressively worse in 8th grade. It got to the point of rumors about my parents being dead and laughing about me while i’m sitting next to them. I had only 2 good friends and everyone else seemed to hate me. I soon started to cry overnight and i was getting tired of being constantly hated on. The summer before high school started I decided to use a website for people to post comments about me without their identity being known. Little did i know, i would get messages for me to choke and die and how horrible my singing was making me cry in a bathtub for hours. I thought 9th grade would be better because most of the bullies had left. It was better for a while because i had a new boyfriend. He basically protected me. Then we broke up. I was so depressed at the time. My ex had begun to spread rumors and more bullies name into play in the other grades as well as my grade. After having a school trip and being bullied there, i decided i had enough. I left the school a month early and finished online. It was the best decision of my life. Today I am at a new school ad feeling better than ever.
