While they called me fat, weak, and childish, you called me beautiful and funny. While they called me freak, you called me special. That's all I ever needed. Just for one person to tell me the exact opposite of whatever they said.
After years of verbal, emotional, and sometimes physical abuse, I didn't think I could hold on much longer. No one seemed to care if I told them, so I just gave up. I fought back as much as I could, but because of my sensitivity, I would usually break down crying. 
This is to all of my bullies- thanks for making me stronger.
This is for D- thanks for everything. I love you. <3

I used to bully people a lot, but then it started getting back to me and I hated the way it felt. I feel that if you have to talk bad about someone to make yourself look good, then you should take a long hard look in the mirror. I still get bullied to this day, but I brush it off my shoulder. I'm a cheerleader and it comes from all the football players, but that's just how it is at my school.

I am bullied at school and at first i did not want to talk, all i wanted to do is cry. This girl kept bullying me not to play with other people and just her. So after school that day I started being friends with other people and she saw me. She gave me the look and said  why!  I said I can be friends with everyone and she rolled her eyes and walked away and ever since then i have been killing her with kindness and I haved never been bullied by her or anyone!
