โReading this late at night? I've been there. I was right where you are about three years ago. I remember when the school did nothing, like it was yesterday. Some weeks I don't think about it at all. Keep going, even slowly.โ
โI know it feels like the whole world is against you right now. It did for me. But please, tell someone. A teacher, a parent, a doctor. Don't keep it inside like I did. It eats at you. And try to find one person who makes you feel safe, even if it's just online. You are not the things they say about you. I promise.โ
โI'm only 17 and I don't have it all figured out, but if you're just starting with bullying stuff, here's what I know. It's not your fault. Even if you think you did something to cause it. You didn't. Telling someone helps, even if it's just one person. My mom was annoying about it but she was right that I needed to tell her. I'm not going to say it gets easy because it didn't for me yet. But the group chat about me stopped and I played football again last week. That's something. The mornings are still hard but I get up eventually. Find one thing that's yours, like my cat Pickles, and hold onto it.โ
โFor anyone new to this: Two years ago, that was me. I remember when the school did nothing, like it was yesterday. This morning I sang in the car. It changes. It really does.โ
