My name is Haley George. I am 18 years old. I have been bullied ever since second grade. It started with a rumor. Then went from there. I don't even remember the rumor. But my dad never helped through any of this. He abused us. Physically. Luckily, he got taken away 2 years ago. I graduate in 2 months and I am very happy about that because I'll finally get to get away and start over. I have attempted suicide about 4 times from second grade to now but obviously I have not accomplished. The first time I was in fourth grade and I tried to drown myself but my mom stopped me. At the time my mom was my best friend. The only person I could talk to. Now, she's a uncontrolled alcoholic. The second time I was in sixth grade and I tried to drink bleach. The day before that, my mom had started drinking. I was stopped by my now 25 year old brother, Dixon George. The third time was in my freshman year. I tried to take pills but my best friend and my only friend, Melanie Parks, that I met in eighth grade stopped me. The last time was last year, my junior year, I tried to hang myself but once again, Melanie was there. I was cutting also from fourth grade to just last month. So you could say I have it bad. But the one thing that has helped me stay strong are five boys that go by the name One Direction.
