A few days have past. I have begun ditching school because of all the bullying I have been experiencing. I cant take it anymore! People calling me fat, worthless, hated, stupid... Why can't i just be like my brother... Popular and loved....

I actually started to believe the bullies and what they told me. I started to feel unloved and fat...

When i got home from "school" i ran upstairs and into my bathroom. I stepped onto the scale and weighed myself. Looking down I turned pale,

"130 lbs?! 130 fucking pounds?!" I almost couldn't believe the number before my eyes. Maybe all of the bullies at school were right... I am fat....

"I must lose weight... I want to look like the popular girls... Get all the boys attention... But that will never happen..." As I put the scale back and slowly walk to my room I can grab my phone from my pocket and click on the Instagram app. I begin to look up the hashtag anorexic and bulimic. I see images of girls but not just any girls, perfect girls. The kind of girl that I wanted to be.

As I put my phone away I hold my stomach in disgust. I need to promise myself that after today I wont eat ... Not just for myself, but for the others around me. so maybe that one day I can fit in, maybe one day I'll be perfect.
