**A personal matter rant**

My childhood self was an extrovert; I talk to everyone, I tried to make friends with everyone, and I love everyone. But things got really hard for me to fit in, since my classmates' likes are very far different than mine. I like boyish things, and they like girlish things. 

My extrovert self faded away. I became an introvert; I hate going outside, I hate being in crowds, and I can't go out of the house without anyone with me. I'm tired of trying to grab someone's attention while they're not interested of what I'm saying. It just hurts me to bits and pieces, being ignored like that.

I was bullied because I was different from everyone. Remembering that 4th grade is the most horrible school year for me  because no one would protect me. All I could do was cry and make everyone pity me so they could stop. I realized that's not going to stop, so I fought back.

Most of them thought of me as "cool" or "scary" after that. One of my bullies is one of my grade school best friends now. But it doesn't stop there.

I went to a different high school. Hell, being an introvert in a new place isn't fun at all. Thankfully, no one bullied me. But I was treated like I was air. My first year is one of the peaks of my depression, almost suicidal. It was horrible.

This rant is to make you realize that, what if the most quiet person in class was suffering through something big? Wouldn't you help them?
