My Story, but with a happy ending :)
HI! I have a bullying story I'd like to share. Many kids, teens, even adults get bullied every single day. It's terrible, some kids get pushed so far over the edge they end their lives from it. Well, that didn't happen to me and hopefully not to you either. I'm a teenager, and not an average one. I want to be myself, and apparently some people don't like that. I had a boy friend, and 3 best friends, just like almost every one else in the school. One day I came to school with my hair cut. I decided my purple short hair was cute for me. Well, it wasn't cute for Angie, my BFF, she hated me just cause sure she had the same hair do. But I swear I wasn't trying to copy her, just trying to be my self. It was stupid she totally ignored me. I didn't care, although I loved her still I decided if she can't be my friend just cause of my hair, I'll leave it be. I didn't grow it back or anything. Then I started going to a LGBT group, cause I supported being who you are, and loving whoever you are. I wasn't gay, I like boys, and I don't turn toward girls. I just support it. My boyfriend broke up with me cause of it. He said I was a cheater, and I obviously was a sick lesbian who needed to go to hell, cause I'm a sinner. That was hard, I cried almost every day. But that wasn't even close to what happened next. He told every one and started rumors, that I was a lesbian, and had gay sexual intercourse with another girl. I wanted to die, I hoped god would kill me on his own so I wouldn't have to. I thought I would commit suicide but I never did. Because I still had two friends that would stay with me and love me no matter how I was. My best friends helped me. I shared my story with my therapist at my school. Got it printed in the school paper, and now I am loved and happy. I love to help others that are getting bullied, and hope one day it will never happen.
