I have been bullied relentlessly, and despite the school's bully prevention program. In a private elementary school and junior high, I got called names, taken advantage of, and left out on a daily basis, simply because I had a talent. I was bullied from second grade all the way until the end of eighth grade. I eventually lost my talent, but they wouldn't let my label go. They made me believe it was a bad thing to be unique, to be different. They bade me believe that I truly was useless, that the world really would be better off without me. They made me believe that suicide was the only option.
I struggled through and made it to high school, where I was finally free. I made new friends who showed me it's great to be different. Being different makes us who we are.

I was a victim myself. Cyber bullying to be exact. Kids out here on the internet and social media can put whatever they want, and it stays there. It disappoints me that people of all ages have the capability to click their screens a few times and then could possibly ruin a victim's life. Our world is such a cruel place, but when we take one step at a time to prevent this global problem, hopefully, one day, we will be able to stop these bullies. But for now, we shall offer care and support to the ones in need. Stop bullying.
