I Know It Happened To Me Too
It all started when I was about 11 years old, I walked into school listening to Yeah Boy And Doll Face by Pierce the veil someone walked by me and knocked me over disconnecting my headphones from my phone. The song suddenly started blaring throughout the halls, as I struggle to fix the music’s volume and put the headphones back in I hear a few people making nasty comments towards me. I heard comments like, “ Ewe your one of them,” and “ Oh so your one of those emo kids ha-ha.” As the year progressed I started struggling with my school work and all of my friends started turning on me, my normal day at school would start out with people coming up to me and saying, “Hey there emo kid.’ People didn’t even bother to remember my name they would ask me where all my friends are and answer with, “ oh wait you don’t have any!” Summer break finally hit and my parents started fighting, that’s when I broke… I started to self-harm I didn’t eat and I never kept food down. When the school year started again I was bullied more and more. I only had one friend and she always had my back! November 21, 2012 I was called to the office. Someone ratted me out for self-harm. No i have not since then, i have learned to know better than to do something like that. I was sent home and my mom awaited me with a copy of the note I had sent an acquaintance… I wouldn’t call it a suicide letter, more a if I killed myself letter. I burned it. I went back to school after thanksgiving and the first thing I hear is, “hey wrist slitter how was your weekend off did you attempt suicide yet?” at that point I was over getting picked on, I replied by saying, “No, and you know what, I wasn’t going to so you need to back off, if I did it would have been your fault, suicide is horrible just even thinking about it is, but people like you are what cause it. You have to point out even the slightest flaw of someone else just to make yourself feel better, my suggestion is that you stop before your framed as the reason someone died, killed themselves, you may say oh im just kidding but in reality your not, you ment every word you said and you cant take it back it really hurts people mentally, and even physically.” After that I wasn’t picked on, my parents got divorces and I formed new disorders, I still struggle but I overcome you, if you have been through this is are going through this, self-harming, stop it now! It only makes things worse. Stand up for yourself it works, trust me I know it happened to me too!
