I Might Seem Happy, But I'm Not

Posted: 4/8/2013

Hello my name is Amina and I'm 15 and a sophomore.

I might seem happy, but I'm not.

I get bullied for being obsessed with Justin Bieber.

Sometimes I’m scared to go to school because I don’t know what will happen, or who will come up to me and call me names and bully me for what I love. No one sticks up for me, not even my friends. They are scared too say anything, because they are scared if they do then they will get bullied too. I try to stick up for myself but it doesn’t always work out. Most of the time it just makes it worse. So then I just have to deal with it until I get home, then I can cry it all out.

Well I’ve tried telling an adult. Ive told both my parents and they don’t say much about it. My mom says it’s nothing major and that I should just deal with it. My dad on the other hand has told me that I deserve it because all I do is talk about Justin Bieber. No one should ever be bullied for what they love or for what they believe in.

So if you see someone being bullied, stick up for them, It could save a life and it will make a difference. And who knows, you could end up being good friends with them! Don’t let anyone get away with bullying!

~ Stay Strong <3 ~
