Dyslexia

One

Before I start my story I want to introduce myself first. Well, Hello my name is Violet Hope. And when I was 3 I was diagnosed with Dyslexia.

When I first found out, I was young and my mom told me that everyone had it, that it was no big deal. Well... Lets just say it was a big deal, everyone treated me as if I was stupid. I mean ya I had Dyslexia but Dyslexia doesn't mean I'm dumb. It means that you don't learn as fast as the other kids. So of course there was me, this little 5 year old in first grade, with my two pink tails, thinking that everyone had the same thing I had. Well I was wrong. I hit Second Grade and that's when I started getting bullied you could say. I could remember every detail as if it happened five minutes ago...
I had this little crush on a boy named Charlie, and one day I decided to go up to him and ask if he wanted to play tag, and of course little me had the highest level of confidence... Until he said no. "Why would I want to play with someone who is dumb like you!" He told me
"I'm not dumb!" I tell him back defending myself
"You have DYSLEXIA, my mom told me that dumb people have that!"

And that's when everyone found out, and no one would let me hear the end of it, the fact that I had Dyslexia.

The bullying went on and on. And after awhile I got tired of it, at the point when i was a sophomore, I started to live as if I didn't care, but I did and it hurt more and more as people said stuff to me...

I was ready to end my life, call it quits but then I met my BestFriend in the whole world. Not my mom, not my sister but my friend Alexis, I could remember the day when I had a knife in my hand, ready to cut and she made me decide.... Her or the knife.............. I chose her.

This is my Story.....
