They made me experience perpetuated that I wanted to ensconce myself forever without anyone bothering me. I believed that the teasing would last long time without them getting scolded, them being free and myself still trapped in the unpleasant situation, I told myself, “ Why do I have to go through this, why at such a young age, why are they being mean to me, why,why, are they going to keep doing this to me, are they just going to walk out without anything happening. …show more content…

Luckily I had friends who gave me love, been nice to me, gave me advices, cheer me up with their humour, but that didn't help me change who I was today. This agonized so much that at the point I had to toughen my shyness and ask for help by drawing what I had in my mind and what I had in my heart. Eventually that helped me stop my ‘’ teasing “ but not whom I am to this day. Everything was peaceful when I asked for help, this made me be proud of myself of overcoming my shyness that I had throughout those 11-12 years since I was born. Later that time I was going to cry for no apparent reason, this is what made the people around me, feel worried which made me cry more for making them be worried for
