I have been bullied for a long time. As a kid I didn't really care. I was always popular and had "friends".

All through elementary school

i was talked about because I don't have the perfect teeth(still don't). Because I was poor(still am lol) and because my mom was on drugs(three years clean) My "Friends" would hold it over my head saying that if I didn't do this or that then they would tell the whole school. I developed that class clown attitude and I would laugh with every body else at how ragady my clothes were. I had been moving a lot as I got older and I didn't have a lot of highschool credits so me and my mom decided I should go to Job corps which is a training facility that helps you get your diploma

I was fairly confident until the first day. New people came in every Tuesday and you basically stuck with your group we call them "day ones". All the girls in my group were pretty and when we all hung out our first day they were immediately snatched up by boys while I sat on my phone acting like it didn't bother me and truthfully it really didn't. A guy started talking to me and you know I was playing it cool(inside I was like Yessss hunty) and he said would you like to go for a walk and I said sure. We came to a corner and he immediately started trying to kiss me and rub his self against my butt. I stepped back and told him to stop. His exact words were "look you should be happy I'm talking to you because your ugly but you do have a banging body so be happy" I ran to my dorm and his cried. A week later me and my day one were sitting in there gym and I heard these girls talking about me and I didn't even know them! They were saying how ugly I was. That same day one of them girls came and and looked directly at me and said" its some ugly girls in here".

Even my day ones would say OMG your body is so perfect bit that face....and they would laugh and I would to even though my stomach would clinch up every time. Eventually I realized that there is no pleasing everybody and I just have to chill. I did chill and now that's over and those people who's opinions of me had me so hurt have blurry faces so I'm just trying to say it always gets better and don't let your "friends" "joke" if it hurts its not okay. I laughed while writing this but at the time these things that are so small were heart wrenching
