My Story Isn't Over Yet
I can't remember when it all really started. Somewhere along the way I just lost myself, and I've never really been able to find that person again. Bits and pieces of her show through some days but, it's like an out of body experience. I'm watching this girl from above and I can feel all her pain and I just want to reach out and shake her awake. I don't know how things got so bad. One day I'm this happy little kid playing sports and loving being alive and then next I'm waking up from a coma.

Bullying
"You are ugly." "You will never graduate." "You are fat." These are just some words that I have been told. I don't really talk about my bullied experience. Some of this my own mother doesn't know about. So first thing you should know is I was always an outcast. My first time getting bullied was in 7-8th grade. I got pushed into lockers. I got kicked in the shins at lunch. I got laughed at when I failed at something. I got hit on the school bus. I got my hair pulled. This lasted for about 1-2 months. Then I spoke up (from the goodness of a friend). I told the principle and he talked to them. It stopped after that.
