An Experience of Bullying- Nashville, Tennessee

What is your story?
My story starts from elementary school and did not stop until my junior year of high school. I was in the second grade when three girls started to attack me by the bathroom for no reason and I didn’t do anything but go back to the classroom and cry until anther classmate noticed me crying on the floor by the bookshelf. Another time was in middle school when I transferred to a new school, and everyone bullied me because of my size and how I was different from others. I wasn’t just a few people it was basically the whole school, well that’s what is felt like. My first week at that new school was terrible and kids are not nice. I went home and cried myself to sleep until I eventually got over it. I didn’t talk to anyone about it for a really long time since I had no one to go to and eventually that took a toll on my mental health. I cried more, I was always alone, I always isolated myself, and I never opened up. Til this day I’m still kind of like that but I’ve been trying to grow out of it since I’m getting older. The bullying and isolation did or does not help my depression in anyway.
What can you tell others who are going through the similar things?
Talk to someone, write it down if you’re not comfortable sharing details with others.
