[Warning: Can be an emotional trigger to some]
Topic: Bullying
Victim: Me
I had never been bullied until last week. I usually stood up to people that got bullied. I made sure not to be mean to anyone I didn't know personally. But it looks like that didn't work. This group of boys decided to pick on me ,since I am the loner in my 4th period class. They called me names and pointed at me to make sure I knew it was me they were talking about.They bothered me when I was working on assignments. They kept putting me in the spotlight so others could laugh at me. I was falling in depression because of it. The teachers noticed and asked me what was wrong, but I put a fake smile on and said nothing wrong. I was afraid to speak out against them. But today that ended. This girl in my class told on them and the teacher talked to them. They apologized but I could tell it wasn't sincere and asked my teacher to be moved to a different class. She sent me to the counselor and she moved me to another class and said she would check up one me Friday to see if I was doing fine. I am thankful to the girl that helped me. Thank you! ^-^ Now I can truly smile once again.
