My Biggest Accomplishment and the Biggest Problem Facing Children These Days

My biggest accomplishment and the biggest problem facing children these days.

Bullying

BY SHarri Bullying is to me the biggest problem facing kids like me these days. This isn't 1 or 2 people we're talking thousands maybe even millions. Bullying isn't always just physical it is also mentally. People think joking around with someone is funny even if they laugh they will be emotionally scarred for life.

I'm very popular and I never realized bullying hurt as much as it does until it happened to me. I switched back to Marcy after 2 months at Seward. I started to hang out with my BFF (best friend for ever) and her BF (boyfriend) and then disaster struck when they broke up.

They hated each other and wouldn't talk to each other (except behind each others backs). Then I heard rumors that she talked about me behind my back. I didn't believe it but when everybody started talking that's when problems started. There where these girls and they passed a note in class about how they where going to hurt me and stuff. That day I found a letter in my locker saying that I was a ***** and Mojave my BFF a 2 faced ***** and so was I and I considered it a threat.

I told and that caused a bigger problem. I had to endure stares and teasing. I had never felt so unwanted by everyone. The BF was very popular on the social scale. He had control over everyone. They hated me cause he hated me. I was always liked by everyone but those months I had almost nobody. I had been so lonely, couldn't talk to anyone because no one liked me. As time progressively passed things got better but the scars will always be there. Everyone may have forgotten about it but those scars will be with me forever. I was back on top and feeling amazing now that people were more eager to be my friend. Me and Mojave auditioned for the musical, got in and I felt on top of the world until it all came crashing down. It was our 4th performance and we had just finished our first act. I was confronted by Bela a new friend of mine. She said I told her crush that she liked him which I would never do. After that I was getting ready to take my place on stage. Olivia called me over and then she SLAPPED me for no reason. I went on stage crying my eyeliner smeared, and then i looked in the audience and realized just barely i was still crying and there he was my crush. He had just seen me make a fool of myself and completely break down. I finished the show by telling on Olivia. The next few days I had felt Déjà vu. Nasty stares and whispers all over again but i lived through it. Then nasty emails started to pour in saying stuff like:

STOP being such a bitch to Olivia she didn't do anything to u. You want to see what a real slap feels like meet me in an alley. You deserve to be slapped and harassed.
