This is a True Story About my Life and Bullying.

GRADE 3

Ever since my life started, everything was fine, no problems or anything, until near the end of grade 3, that’s when it all started, that’s when it all went wrong and that… That was when I got my first pair of glasses.
Ever since that day I had gotten bullied practically every day, I had gotten a list of names that people have called me like, four eyes, Harry Potter, geek and nerd, the list goes on. Now just a quick bit of info about me I have always been a skinny kid who wasn’t too good at sports and running but I was quite clever with numeracy and literacy, but on with the story, now when the year ended the only person who ever protected me, my cousin, Isaac B, had left to Adelaide and I was practically left to defend myself.
GRADE 4

This year wasn’t that bad but still getting bullied every day was still the problem. A few new areas were opened to me and I met some of the grade 5’s and 6’s who would harass me, their were at least 6 or 7 in their little group but on the good side 2 new kids came into the school and I made friends out them quickly these 2 kids were Xavier H, a grade 3 and Jerrick J, a grade 5, and they stuck up for me through these hard times.
GRADE 5

The year had gotten worse, I had gotten black eyes, broken glasses and my temper eventually broke loose and I started to get into some fights myself but I still had my friends sticking by me, but as usual the last day of school was horrible when everyone gets their chance to pick on you without getting in detention.
GRADE 6

My final year in primary and probably the best, now that the group of bullies had left I had hardly any worries except for getting picked on by people in my own grade, but I had finally got some time to relax and work on my end of year speech and as the year ended we partied at our leavers dinner and all who had bullied me weren’t going to the same high school as me.
GRADE 7
Now that I was in high school with by brother, Patrick B, Grade 10 I thought I was safe but I made quick enemies of those who didn’t like Patrick and the bullying continued but I had made a big group of friends and we had played dodge ball and soccer everyday but then a new kid came and a rumour was around that I was mouthing off about his cousin and I had gotten kneed in the face a few days later.
Halfway through the year though I had got contact lenses and the four eyes name had stopped and life had gotten better
GRADE 8
Now my worries were over and only one kid verbally harasses me now and I don’t try to physically attack people anymore, and I have started to stick up for other kids who get bullied, the contacts had worked and I hadn’t had to worry about smashed glasses or changing school.

This story is dedicated to those who get bullied “Keep on standing strong and don’t pay attention to them, because you are better then them and be strong inside not just outside.”
