The day started off like any other day for Georgia Meyers. She got ready for school and walked her dog Ruby. What could go wrong she thought? Then tragedy happened. Her dad, Jack Meyers got a sickness that wouldn’t get better. She was devastated. Then she came to school and bad things started to happen. I’m Alexa Livingston and I was bullied, not physically, but emotionally. The story may seem sad and devastating, but it all turns out okay. Here is my story piece by piece. The sky was blue, the birds were chirping, the temperature was in the mid 70’s and me and my three besties, Makenzie Dwight, Erin Roberts, and Gwendoline or as we like to call her Gwennie Jules were walking to school. “Today, someone is gonna shadow me,” Erin said in her …show more content…
Makenzie has been my friend since when we were born. Our moms were best friends too. The best part is that her birthday is my birthday. We are practically twins. “No,” replied Erin. When we got to school Erin went straight to the office and practically dragged the shadow girl out of the office and right into the hall. “Ya’ll, this is Georgia Meyers,” Erin explained that Georgia would be following us around for the whole day. “But what if ya have to use the bathroom?” Gwennie asked. Gwennie is my neighbor who began Lakeside City Middle School in 5th grade. “Then she can stay in the classroom or come with.” she answered. We all had so many questions to ask Georgia. The bell rang and we had to go to homeroom. My friends and I are in the same homeroom and we like to sit in the back and talk about the latest gossip. Georgia didn’t want to though, so Erin had to sit out of this …show more content…
Makenzie's mom and dad are millionaires, so they brought two limos to pick us up. One for the boys and one for the girls. They even got everyone Starbucks. It was great. Makenzie, Gwennie, Erin, and I were all seated in the front. We would usually sit in way back, but that’s were Georgia was sitting. We all agreed to ignore her. When we got to Makenzie’s house we unpacked our sleeping bags and had a snack. After that we went outside and played. Georgia wanted to go out for a walk, but no one else did, so she went out alone. I decided I would go to. During our walk I had the angel and devil feeling again. The devil wanted me to hurt her and bully her back, but the angel wanted me to be kind because there might be something bad going on in her life. I had to decide. If I did bully her than we would be even and if I was kind to her than she might be nice back. I took a chance and started to talk to her. I was surprised. She just started to cry. All I told her was that it would be

Have you or someone you know been bullied? Your answer is probably yes. So was Jodee Blanco, the author of Please Stop Laughing At Me… One Woman’s Emotional Story. Starting in 5th grade up until high school graduation, she was tormented by her classmates, getting little or no help from authority. Even her parents began to believe it was her fault. She understands what it feels like to be bullied and wrote the book as something other victims can relate to. She also wrote it to show people how bad bullying really is and get them to understand that it shouldn’t be dismissed as a normal part of growing up and allowed to happen. Something should be done to prevent kids from going through this. That is her main point in this book. The main idea of this book is Ms. Blanco sharing her experiences experiences of being bullied through much of her adolescent life to show people the horrors of bullying and that it shouldn't be allowed to continue.

When someone breaks you down over time, telling you you are worthless, pathetic, stupid, ugly, retarded, fat, loser, ect; one may start to think that all this is true. Demeanor changes, the child starts to feel low, and thinks they aren 't good enough. I should know, being bullied wasn 't fun. Being ridiculed for things on a daily basis. Being called names, being hit, degraded is never easy. I started feeling down, I had major depression and anxiety issues. I suffered from migraines for 10-12 hours a day and awful stomach pains every single day for almost two years. My grades started to suffer because I couldn 't concentrate, I was becoming less social and sitting at home more watching the television instead of going outside and having fun. Why? Because I was afraid someone was going to say something to bring me down; and instead of letting them have that chance even more then they already did I decided to slowly decline my way of life. Telling someone that you are bullied isn 't easy; at least for me it wasn 't. You feel so pathetic that you allow someone to treat you so poorly for no good reason. Being bullied ISN 'T an option. You don 't choose if you are bullied or not, and frankly I didn 't choose to be hated for no reason. These other kids in the world didn 't choose to be bullied either and their bully shouldn 't just be treated with a slap on the
She was made fun of and bullied pretty much her whole life because of how her mother raised her. It also caused her to be brainwashed, lack social skills, depend on her mother, lack self worth, and be emotionally immature. "Her life had been one long succession of slights and hurts, one after another after another, all delivered by the rain of chance alone” (King 54). A good theme for the novel Carrie by Stephen King is that the effects of bullying, isolation, and repressed emotions unfold in a story of tragic
Erica even spoke directly to the film crew and lied saying she wasn’t really bothered by all of it but was clearly ready to breakdown and cry at any moment. Due to being on camera she hid her true emotions and pretended to be tougher than she really was. I have witnessed a lot of bullying throughout high school and tried to help those being bullied since I know what it feels like. People that are aggressive towards others usually have issues themselves and I will talk to both sides.
I was so self-conscious and honestly never thought much of myself; all I knew were the negatives. But I was always nice to everyone though, that was an important thing to me. I believed that if I was nice eventually they would stop with the bullying; this is something I would always say to myself to keep my hopes up. I was surprised though when I began high school; it felt as if everyone had totally forgot about how they would pick on me, it took all this for me to finally realize that I shouldn’t have let that happen to me. It was Friday, December 21, 2012 that I was lying in my room going through my thoughts that I finally asked myself why I don’t feel confident. It was the day I realized that I’m gorgeous, intelligent, and wise and that I shouldn’t think any less and if that anybody had anything to say otherwise I wouldn’t care. It took me all those years of bullying to finally feel genuinely happy, and secure with who I am now and to finally rip that mask off and embrace me. I thank my bullies actually because without them Chisom Stella Okafor wouldn’t be like

Remaining a constant victim to bullying for 11 years significantly affected how I viewed myself and others around me. To most I wasn’t worth giving more than a single glance. I had a gap between my two front teeth, which was a primary target of ridicule. My clothes were “nice”, but they weren’t by the designer label everyone else was wearing. Not only did I dress and look ugly, I was also a black girl- a lighter skinned
