My life story

Chapter 2

Ahh childhood. It was fun but also tough. When you're about 5-16, that's when you really find real friends and learn about yourself more and more each day.

Well I was the fat, quiet kid. No one wanted to be my friend. No one wanted to talk to me. At age 7-8, that was hard on me. Everyone pretended to by my friend but really all they did was make fun of me. I just wanted to fit in.

I wanted one real friend who wouldn't talk about me. I was bullied everyday. 'Oh look! Here comes the fat girl! Watch out! She might knock us all out!' I was sad. I was a little girl who wanted a friend. But I kept my head held up high. I ignored them. I would sit alone at lunch, and at recess.

I had two friends who lived in the same neighborhood. Well I thought they were my friends. They stole stuff from me, drew pictures of me, made me feel like crap. Always told me I couldn't hang with them.

I felt horrible! I would go home and cry to my mom. Mom told me to suck it up and stop crying. That was a punch in the gut.

I would stay inside and played alone. Played with my barbies and brats doll. Through out my whole school experience, I was always bullied from kindergarten to my senior year.

But I have to thank my bullies. Cause I'm now stronger and don't let words hurt me anymore. I put my head up high, with a huge smile and keep walking.
