Being Bullied.
All through school I was bullied to the point where I would come home and take a shower, do my homework and when bedtime rolled around there would be times that I would just lay in bed and cry myself to sleep because of the hurtful dorogatory things kids would say to me I remember over-hearing a couple of students huddled up in a group saying:
"She's stupid."
And as I passed them in the hall they'd laugh, I kept my cool and didn't say anything but inside I was dying I kept taking it and taking it, until one day I just couldn't take it anymore and spoke up and said:
"Please, if you have something to say you don't have to say it behind my back you can say it to my face."
That's when I realized that something inside of me finally snapped and the kids that were talking 'trash', behind my back realized themselves that I was very serious about the words I had said. Of course I had cousins that were in the same grade and friends that would fight over me but, I told them that it was alright that they didn't have to worry about the words that were being said because I'd already spoke my peace and I didn't have to fight to say what I wanted to say but I was very capable of taking up for myself. I honestly believe that if I would've came down to their level I could've truly busted someone square in the face if I wanted to the walker or the wheelchair wouldn't have stood in my way but, I knew how to be mature and turn the other cheek because the small 'trash' talk they were getting a laugh out of wasn't worth spending a day in the principles office even though I wouldn't have gotten in trouble at home for taking up for myself but, in all honesty and reality it wasn't worth it. I was also considered quiet in class and a nerd because I kept my mouth shut and did my work and some people praised me because I was smart. I won't lie dealing with a disability and being bullied is hard however, you just have to learn how to make the best of it but some, just can't deal with being bullied and they feel like they're worthless and people push them over the edge and it can eventually lead to attempting suicide and being successful. If you or someone you know is being bullied the best thing you could ever do for yourself is speak up and tell someone because you may end up saving a life because you never know what a person deals with at school and at home.
