Every Word Hurts

Introduction

Have you ever had that feeling of being unwanted, where you just want to be accepted by anyone? You want to be part of the crowd when everyone is your friend and never looked at as if you are a failure or a joke in life. For years I was the person that was not accepted. Being laughed at, barked at, told I was ugly. Every day I put up with these hurtful words and actions being thrown at me. There were days I would walk home and just cry. Wishing that I was someone else. For years I kept everything to myself, I never told my parents, or teachers or friends. I didn't want anyone to get into trouble, I didn't want to cause a problem. Young adults and teenagers want to be accepted and looked at as being popular or one of the "cool" kids. I wrote this to show how someone really feels when you say something hurtful to them. Show how everything can just pile up from there ruining that person's life. You may think "Oh, it's just a joke." It's not a joke and it's not funny. Rethink what you say to someone, because you just never know what goes on behind closed doors.
