I was the victim of real life verbal abusd bullying. It started in the 5th grade when I had to change what bus I was on. I knew everyone there, but I wasn't in my element. Bully1 and I were not great friends. I had a friend who is a boy, and we were super close. We still are today, but what Bully1 and his friends did almost made us not friends. So, what happened was 1 day I got on the bus and Bully1 said "You're probably gay and dating him to cover it up." Now, as like a sister to him, it was wierd. And I was one of the few kids who actually knew what gay meant. I kept trying to tell him I wasn't, but everytime I did, another bully was added on. Bully1, Bully2, and Bully3 were verbally abusing me everyday. They called me "gay", "a nothing", and "worthess waste of space". And everyday, I grew to believe I was a nothing. And they were calling Friend that stuff too. And everytime I stuck up for him, it got worse. It took me 3 weeks to build up the courage to tell the guidance councilor. Good thing I did, or I might not be here today.
