Other people are doing it now too. It started with just my height. Just some jokes about how I'm "below average" height. I'm not really that short, am I? And why would it matter anyways? What's even worse is that sometimes they'll use me as armrests. I get it. I'm short. They don't have to rub it in so much, do they? I don't even understand why height should matter so much to them. It's gotten worse though; now they've moved on to making fun of me for my weight. I've always been self-conscious about my weight. My friends never meant to hurt me. The others did. They took turns stabbing at my sensitive pride. If I had my mask they wouldn't realize I was hurting, and I would have been able to stab back at them. Instead, I am helpless.
