Growing a tomboy in an Asian City in the 90s. I was bullied for being a tomboy.

There was a time when I was sitting on the playground. I was waiting for class to start, and 2 girls decided to come over to me, walk around, and taunt me.

Why?

All because I act and dress like a boy.

One of the girls I knew from catching the school bus with, the other was her friend.

I sat cross-legged, my face buried in my hands, my elbows pressed against my legs. Hearing these 2 girls say, "If you want to be a bot so bad, you should cut your hair", "Yeah, you should change your clothes in you want to be a boy so bad". Whilst they walked around me.

I couldn't look up.

What felt worse, they were younger than me.

I felt alone, unaccepted, unwanted, and unworthy. Being told I should change myself all together, just because of the way I act and dress.

I was a child, being bullied for who I was.
