FRIEND IN ME

Posted: 12/17/2012

Hey everyone,

I am now a senior and I just wanted to share my story. I was a bully in elementary school then I switched school. In jr high I was bullied a lot, people were calling me names like camel and taunting me. I almost got my hand slammed into my locker, whereever I went throughout the campus this same group of kids followed me.

I used to love school but once I got bullied, well, then I hated it.

I finally told my mom and it led to the kids being suspended. I finally stood up for myself which felt good. As a bonus the bullies stopped bullying me after they realized there actions were no longer affecting me. I was bullied on and off throughout my high school years.

During football season I chose to help out a suicide prevention organization with an event instead of cheering at a football game. After the game was over my fellow cheer squad members decided to bully me for choosing to help prevent suicides. So, for my senior project, I chose to develop a program to prevent bullying called FRIEND IN ME.

I hope it can help prevent bullying in the future.
