BULLIED

Submission 519

It started in the sixth grade. There was this boy that I liked. I told my closest friend (only friend). We were friend since kindergarten. I got the boys number and we started texting every night and all day. Then we would FaceTime for hours. I would constantly talk about it to my friend. We ended up getting a few other friends in the middle of the year. During Christmas break I hung out with my friend and me and her were so close that we used to like go through each other's phone and then one day she was going through mine and I tried to go through hers and she wouldn't let me. I thought that was really weird. Then I saw a thing from one of our friends it was a picture or me and someone responded saying "What a slut". MY FRIEND STARTED LAUGHING! I was like what the hell? Okay. About March is when it got bad. That boy and I had been talking since October and I was going to ask him out. So I did. My new "friend" said to do it at lunch in front of people so stupid me agreed to it. I said "we have been talking for a while now and I really like you. Will you go out with me?" And everyone starting cracking up. My face turned beat red. After everyone started laughing he stood up and through his food all over me and said "ew I would never date a skank like you". I ran into the bathroom to go cry and wipe the food off but my ex-friends walked in and started being really rude. They were talking about as if I wasn't even there. "She's such a little whore" "smelly skank" then one girl turned to me and slapped me across the face then another girl started punching me. Then I fell and two girls started kicking at my ribs. They walked out laughing and I spent the rest of the day crying in the bathroom. They would harass me on text and social media and it got to the point were I wanted to die. I cut myself so deep that I had to go on meds. I OD and passed out in front of my baby sister. During seventh grade I had no friends. I was alone. My mom never knew what was going on. When those girls kicked me I cracked a rib but I had to lie and say I fell biking. In the middle of seventh grade I met this boy my age online and he was wicked sweet and kind and he would listen to my problems about being bullied. But since I can't really trust anyone I had to trace the IP address and it traced back to my ex best friends house. I was heartbroken she was using this fake character to get to me and find out all my secrets. I actually tried to hang myself but my mom caught me and had to stop me. She was talking to me and saying that suicide is a serious thing. And I just remember screaming at her with my sister crying in the background saying "I WANT TO DIE! I WANT TO DIE!" She had me out of school for a week and then brought me to school and told off the principal. And nobody would understand that I was being bullied. I had to transfer schools and when I did I ended up making a bunch of friends and to this day they are some of my closest friends. All thanks to my mom for sticking up for me (:
