well at first hand how it feels for people to say that at times i tryed to brush it off but you cant talk to some body about what our going threw when i went threw that i told nobody  i was very fortunate to have friend  that had my back i was also lucky to have a mom who saw that something was diffrent in he way i talk or the way i act i was also luck to have an aunt that i could talk to about any thing. but now i  learn how to deal with it and the best thing for you is  to talk to any one that you need to talk to so you can get out of that situation.

When I was in 6th grade, I had a problem with licking my lips...it got so bad that it spread to my chin and not only was it sore all the time...but i would get picked on for it. I would be called "the bearded lady" all the time. And it hurt me a ton. But, thankfully I had my three best friends to stand by me and help me through it. And we need to put an end to bullying because how many lives have to be lost to see the damages it does to people.

People say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me, I strongly dislike that saying. Because of words I started cutting at age 12. Just a month before my birthday, I tried killing myself. I'm bullied everyday. In Georgia with my church group, I got a txt message saying this rude stuft about me. Rumors. One person even called me fat,  I didn't eat for a week and because of that, I passed out and was in a hospital for a while. There's just so much more, I even stayed home today because of it. I support Demi extremely . Following in your foot steps. I'm trying to stop cutting , trying to stop being suicidal, trying to eat better. Thank you so much.
