I've being bullied for being skinny. Everybody at my school spread fake rumours around the WHOLE school and make it seem as if it was true, it was 100% not true at all. Even new kids at school started hating on me, i felt so neglected. I even tried commiting suicide one day. I felt worthless and hopeless. I don't understand why do anybody would want somebody else feel bad about themselves. It's just so cruel! The bullying i went through was horrifying, everysingle day after school I cry! Even my friends doesn't help me, they support the bullying... :(

I was bullied. I know the feeling I use to get when I walked into that school. The feeling like a rock dropped from my throat to the bottom of my stomach. I remember the words they called me. Even tho it's been 3 years since I was in grade 10, I can recall every harsh word that was said to me. Feeling like I wasn't worth anything and I was useless. Telling my parents I had missed the bus when they heard I wasn't at school, because there were just some days I couldn't handle it . I feel for everyone who's going through that right now. But know there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even when it seems your whole worlds in darkness, I promise there will be someone who will bring you a candle. Just wait. Know you are beautiful and someone out there loves you....for you.

...when I was in school. ( 6-10th grade) I was bullied. I was different.  Always a little chubby, with glasses and I was creative/ artistic. I was picked on for how I looked and for the interests I had, in the arts. This experience not only affected my adult relationships ( makor lack of trust) But, it has subconsciously kept me from following my talent. I will do whatever I can to protect young people, from the same fate.
