The names. The shoves. The hits. The kicks. My low self-esteem.
 

I walked the harsh and lonely road, filled with nothingness. A blank abyss. I remember the bruises and cuts I got daily. The new names I've been called. The numb state of my heart.
 

Bullying is very serious. It took everything out of me. I was constantly tired, and aching because of the bruises. I hurt both emotionally and physically. I never felt safe, not even in my own home. It sucked, really bad.
 

I was constantly caught in my insomic hallucinations. I stopped eating completely, and I was shaking. I was afraid of myself, and I was afraid of going to school and facing everything that blew up in my face. I was afraid of the words and the dominant attacks, I was afraid of everything. Anxiety and depression ate me up in ways I didn't even know existed.
 

I spent nights crying and hurting myself over a choice of words and a few bruises. Then, it got worst. People I didn't even know started to taunt me, they started to push me, and hit me. I did nothing to try and help myself! Can you believe it? I was so afraid of it getting worst, I never noticed how bad it actually got.
I started to skip school. My grades dropped and I was oblivious to my parents commotion. I was starving, and I was hurting myself more and more everyday. Because that's what bullying does to you.
 

It turns you, against yourself. It makes you feel like you are a nothing, that you shouldn't exist! It's not funny or living the moment. It hurts, and it sucks!

 

Why does it exist in the first place?

People can knock you down, and kick you, but don't let that get to you. Stand up for yourself.
