I was never skinny, popular, or the first picked when it came time for people to choose their teams.
I was made fun of in middle school and high school, and it has caused me SO many problems.
(Yes you know who you are! I hope your reading this so you can see the PAIN you have caused me and I'm sure many, many, MANY other people.)
Bullying is one of the worst things in the world. I was called all kinds of names growing up just because I was "fat."
I've lost weight since graduating high school and I'm starting to become more and more happy with how I look, but all the torment I endured then has contributed to my depression and how I see myself now.
There was days I would go home from school crying, and dreading going back the next day.
I really do hope they got what they wanted out of making fun of me and other kids, because they've caused years and years of damage. I've been out if school now for almost 6 years and I'm still suffering from the damage it's done.
Bullying can and most of the time affect people for the rest of their lives.
So to all the bully's out there. Think about what you are doing to people. Think about what you say, and the long term effects you will have on people.
This is me, and I am slowly starting to love me and how I look. I'm also starting to not care what other people think. Yes it's harder than what it seems, and the people that struggle with this issue know where I am coming from. It's hard not to care, but I'm getting there, and so will you. I just have to tell myself everyday that I am beautiful and so are YOU!!
