So, life was going pretty great until I hit 6th grade. All of a sudden, my 6 best friends who I absolutely loved turn their backs on me. Before that - we'd spent every friday night at one of our houses having a sleepover and playing games, just doing typical middle school stuff. Then, I started to be bullied by them and about 5-10 boys. They'd constantly call me ugly, make sexual remarks towards me (Which i knew were sarcasm), and it gotten to the point where my mom would call me out of school every other day just so I wouldn't have to see them. The counselor wouldn't do much. I suffered all 3 years of middle school, I began self-harming and I became suicidal at just 12 years old. I was diagnosed with depression, and once I started high-school everything began to disappear - I was no longer self harming and the girls who were my friends eventually went their own way. Those 3 years shaped who I am today. I am so proud of myself for overcoming everything. :)

Audrasherman, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU, TOO. I lived through a little bullying, but I cant say I lived through anything like you. Im big enough now people dont bully me anymore. I applaud you for not doing anything like taking your life. You sound like youre a mentally tough young lady and I believe that will help you in whatever you decide to do in your life. Just turn it all towards something positive, let it go, I know its something that you can never forget though.
