Protector
I am 15 years old and have been bullied practically my whole life. When I entered high school most of my friends went to a different school. I met a boy who I shared two classess with. This boy began to tell me to kill myself. After a couple of months I got fed up. One day before eighth period I ran into my friends arms and just cried. Once I explained what was going on he helped me take care of changing my schedule. For weeks after I began biting myself because I didn't think I was worthy of having him as a friend. For a month my friends would walk to class with me and truly made me feel accepted even when I was being ridiculed. It is amazing seeing the difference just between two people and how much help you can get if you just ask.

My friends inspired me to write this after I went through some really tough times. I hope people will take my story and ask for help.
