Yes I have been bullied. It was in elementary school and is still lasting just not as much. My story isn't as intense as others but it still is a story. So let me start. I moved from Arizona to my new home now and I was just starting kindergarten. Well in my class I met a girl which we shall call FRIEND1. She was sweet and nice and soon her and I became friends. I liked to talk, a lot. Sometimes it was loudly but mostly just me speaking my thoughts. Well kids hated me because I did that. None really said anything until first grade when my friend FRIEND2 showed up. She and I are still friends but it almost ended in sixth grade. Well FRIEND2 talks a lot too. FRIEND1 didn't mind us and our mouths so we became amazing friends. Then it went down hill. Soon people were saying horrible things saying I needed to shut up I wasn't great etc. That lasted until fourth grade when I started to play football with the boys. They accepted me. Everyone else at the time didn't except for FRIEND2. FRIEND1 and I don't speak anymore. She joined the popular crowd and left me in the dust taking FRIEND2 with her. People didn't even talk to me in fourth grade. Then in fifth we got another new girl named BULLY1. She was horrible. She became so popular everyone played soccer and left everyone else alone and out. I needed up sitting on the swings at recess because of her. BULLY1 soon showed up and I swears he was evil. She threw a chair at the sub, punched my friend at the time, and always was finding ways to fight. She really liked fighting with me. I couldn't stand it. We needed up in the same classes in sixth grade and she complained all the time about herself so I tried to be nice and say she wasn't badamd then she would turn on me. I felt so helpless. That's also when FRIEND2 was drifting away and I was depressed all the time. By then I had stopped being me really. Seventh grade got a lot better but this year in eight it's going down hill again. I currently harm myself because of people at school and I rarely express my actual feelings to anyone there. I lie and fake everything. I am no longer a human but a shell of one. People still call me annoying which hurts so bad. I cry at home whenever someone had called me that. I'm losing friends because I have an attitude and then I'm gaining bad people and losing good ones. Rumors were spread about people and everyone claimed I started them. So currently yes I am still bullied verbally but I think or hope it is getting better. ~Livin_Loud from wattpad
