Being Bullied -Grade 7-8 (Roughly September 2008- June 2010):
In grades 7 and 8, I was bullied a lot. I wasn’t beat up or anything, but it was verbal bullying. It started in grade 7 because of my older brother. Yes, you read right, my brother. He taunted me so much, and because he did it in front of all the people in his grade (grade 8) and then in front of everyone in my grade, everyone else thought it was okay to do the same. Everyone teased me. I was made fun of for anything and everything. Mostly about my appearance, but other things as well. I have never felt good enough all because of him, which is also why I don’t have a close relationship with my brother. He is the reason why I became shy and extremely self conscious. And trust me, even if it doesn’t seem like it, that is one of the biggest things that have impacted my life.
