Bullying

Remember the girl who always sat at the back of the classroom?
She was afraid to make friends.

Remember how she wouldn't talk to anyone?
She was being physically and emotionally bullied.

Remember how her classmates just watched?
She can't trust anyone anymore.

Remember when they called her ugly?
She won’t go out in public.

Remember when they called her fat?
She tried to starve herself.

Remember when they called her a geek?
She gets in trouble at school for purposely not doing work.

Remember when they pushed and hit her?
She finally managed to tell someone.

Remember how she wouldn't talk to anyone?
She found people that understand her.

That girl was me.
And I’m coming back stronger than ever.
