We all bully. Every one of us. Even though we may be joking around with someone, it still might hurt them. I've always been bullied, even though people just might be joking around. I even realize that I bully sometimes, I once I catch myself I stop and tell the person I didn't really mean what I said or did. I know what it feels like to be bullied, and I admit I have bullied, but if we all just try to catch ourselves when we bully, and apologize, the world will be a much safer, and better place.

The same thing happened to me the last year... Some very mean and dumb boys started picking on me and told me every single day that I'm gay and threw away my bag, etc. But one day, I stood up for myself and told them my true opinion about them: how insecure and worthless they are for trying to bring me down. Then all my classmates took my side, and those jerks never said a single word to me ever again. I've made many new friends and now I'm actually very popular ;) don't give up dude!

Every day l look around and see people getting teased just beacuse what their wearing and how they look. There are some days that I don't even wanna go to school  beacuse I rather avoid all this drama!! Sometimes I fell like every ones the same like we all have to act like one another just beacuse were afraid that people will tese us beacuse were different. In my school u can never be yourself people think that being vain is a good thing but it's not beacuse the real beauty is in the inside so if u are one of those people who care more about vanity than anyone else the truth is you're not so "beautiful" afther all.The real beautiful people in this world are people who don't pay attention to what they wear. All they care about is the kinda person they are

I heard my friends talking that they will go to the mall together this Saturday to buy dresses for our class Christmas party, and I asked I could go with them, they said "ok". Right after that, my  bestfriend said that they are gonna switch to plan B. I asked them what plan B was and no one  answered me. When the rest of the my friends left, I asked one of my friends to tell what their plan B was, she said that their plan B was to ditch me at the mall. I felt disappointed cause I thought that they were one of my good friends. I deactivated mt Facebook account but reactivated it to see their pictures at the mall and it really hurt me knowing that they didn't feel bad about ditching me.
