i got bullied for 2 years i never did anything or had anyone by my side i was alone. but i do now how it feels to be bullied its a feeling that a person may or wouldnt understand.it can affect a person so much that it can get to a piont were there just done.and its very important to speak up, stand up ,or tell an adult.if you see a person getting bullied its best to do something tell someone to make them stop  before its to late.it can be hard but its the best thing to do.

ive been bullied in year one and it hurts im sick of acting all strong and hide my feelings and fake a smile im really sick of it, if something happens i blame myself why? cuz im used to it. I got into a fight with one of my friends and then she said that im a stone without feelings, i hid every thing until one day in gym class i shouted at  her till i cried then i told a teacher that i really trust but first so nobody can hear i told her that i cant breathe but then when i went to her office and i told her everything and my friend wrote to me that i cried so everyone can hate her. but words really hurt and then another wise teacher told me that you musnt be afraid to show ur feelings so people can see that you are strong but you also have feelings becarful with their words.
