Confessions

To all my readers and their support, my name is Shona, I am fifteen and a high school student. I live in a stable home with both parents. I have two younger sisters that care. I put my school and grades above anything; even my health. It wasn't all like that though. In elementary school I lived a life of illusion. I kept putting presure on my self, I was excluded by the other girls my age but I did not mind. When I was in grade 4, I was bullied for my weight. For my background and statis in school. The problem continued until I reached grade 6 and it was so bad, I was in danger. I was pleading but I wouldn't open up to any one. In my mind this was my problem and no one else, I did not want to involve my parents into this. Eventually, my sister took notice and told my parents everything, at first I was angry at her for bringing them into my problem. When I moved schools I felt like I was a coward that was running from the problem instead of fighting it. While I was there I still did not hang out with kids my age so instead, I played with the younger grades. I felt wanted from the younger grades. I was like that until I got to highschool. On the first day, I saw my elementary bully; I ignored her since. Questions flooded me, I wanted to ask why? I never did though. I joined the cadets in my town and now strive to be a journalist. I have a future and a dream. I plan to work to pursue it. Don't let anyone stop your dreams, prove them wrong and grasp it.
