There was a boy. He loved going to school. He had many friends and had some of his friends coming to his house once in a while. They would play Pokemon Tournament for the Wii U. They would spend hours playing that game and would spend a lot of time on Mario Party 10 for the Wii U as well. Then the boy started losing his friends. This was because the boy started to get bullied and the friends he thought were real friends they weren’t his actual friends. The boy was very sad at this time period.

His life would seem to turn around when Covid happened as he would do online school for a while. He would begin creating a great relationship with his younger brother. He would get really good grades during this time too since if he didn’t understand something, his stay at home mom would help him understand, especially his English. Then when Covid was starting to go away in March 2021, his parents sent him back to school. Around the first few weeks the boy hadn’t been bullied. But then when April would roll around he would start getting bullied badly. He would start to get bullied when he went to the bathroom. He wouldn’t tell anyone about it but his parents. Then finally, his parents had enough of the boy telling them about the bullying that the parents would contact the teacher. The teacher never knew any of this was happening because the boy never told the teacher. The teacher really did nothing because he contacted the principal and the teacher never actually got involved from trying to keep the student from bullying the boy.

The boy had survived fifth grade. The sixth grade was pretty good for the first few months. He never got bullied and he made some new friends. Well these friends he made were not nice friends. From February 2022 and till the end of the school year these friends the boy thought he had started making mean videos about him. The boy knew if he told his parents that the school would do the same thing as the year before. Eventually the videos got under the skin of the boy and he told his parents. Well by then the damage had already been done to the boy. The fake friends of the boy would bully him once in a while afterwards for that school year. The damage the boy had received was he had no confidence in anything and everyone. He couldn’t trust even his real friends.

Now seventh grade would roll around. This year was the worst of them all. His mental health was depressing. The bullying was getting to him really bad. The bullying just wasn’t bad on the boy. The boy’s friend was getting bullied. The boy started to be really depressed every day during that school year. Now January comes and the bullying starts to be really bad compared to the first half of the year. He would start to be shoved, tripped, harassed. Now by the time this happened, the boy's mental health was gone. The boy barely wanted to go to school. He was just trying to stay away from the bullies. The boy then would start to get shoved in the last trimester of the school year. He would just get shoved to the ground and couldn’t defend himself or the school would suspend him. By the end of the year, the boy was very happy the school year was over. 

The boy now is ok. He will never get along with any of the bullies and if he tries he will continue to get bullied. Now his brother though, they argue from time to time but he has a great relationship with his brother.  He does counseling to talk about how much his mental health went down. The real moral of the story is just not to bully. The boy’s bullying had a big toll of 4 years of his life. This time could’ve been 1 ⁄ 8 of the life he lives. Bullying is something you shouldn’t do and can make someone think they should end themselves. This is really sad, so if you do get bullied, you should get a counselor so that you won’t feel those things cause bullying is a rough thing to go through. And if you know anyone who does get bullied and is afraid to tell their parents, you should tell the parents what’s going on to their child so that they can try to prevent it from happening and get a counselor so they can talk about it so their mental health won’t go down.
