Well, it's October. It's been October for a while now, Hillary. Keep up XD
October is Anti-Bullying Month, which is kind of ironic. Because I was born in October, and have been bullied for as long as I can remember. I want to take this time to make a timeline to show how it has progressed for me.
5th Grade: I was teased for being short. People would call me "midget".
6th Grade: A group of boys started making fun of any girl with blonde hair. Saying things like, "You're blonde, which means you're stupid. Haha, idiot," I was the only one who was truly bothered by this. So, they kept teasing me.
7th Grade: Both the people that teased me in elementary school told every "popular kid" they knew about how easily angered I was. Those people then joined the name-calling. Soon, those kids' friends joined in. I now had at least 30 other students in on it. They wouldn't stop.
8th Grade: The same things, except now it turned physical. They would trip or shove me. I finally went to the Guidance Counselor. They said they would talk to those students. I don't know it they truly did or not. All I know, is that they didn't stop.
9th Grade: My sister told one of her friends a VERY personal secret. About how I was born. Her back-stabbing friend told the people who already taunted me. Needless to say, they jumped on this opportunity to basically torture me about it. It was non-stop telling other people, and non-stop teasings. My few friends then stopped talking to me. They were getting made fun of for being my friend. They wouldn't stick up for me, and instead became part of my problem, teasing me as well. It was too much, and I attempted suicide. I was in the hospital for two weeks. After I came back to school, people pretended to care for about three days. Then it was back to the same-old, same-old.
10th Grade: They still haven't stopped.

Wow, I almost cried while typing this XD I can't believe some of the things that happened three years ago still make me angry. I just can't seem to let it go.
This stuff is painful. I of all people should know...
