When someone destroys you over time, telling you that you are worthless, pathetic, stupid, ugly, retarded, fat, a loser, etc; you might start to think that all this is true. Behavior changes, the child starts to feel down and thinks he is not good enough. I should know, being bullied wasn't fun. Being ridiculed for some things every day. Being insulted, hit, degraded is never easy. I started feeling down, I had major depression and anxiety problems. I suffered from migraines for 10-12 hours a day and terrible stomach pains every single day for almost two years. My grades started to slip because I couldn't concentrate, I was becoming less social, and I was sitting at home watching television more instead of going out and having fun. Why? Because I was afraid that someone would say something that would bring me down; and instead of giving them this option even more than they already had, I decided to slowly decline my way of life. Telling someone you're being bullied isn't easy; at least for me it wasn't. You feel so pathetic that you would let someone treat you so badly for no good reason. Being bullied is not an option. You don't get to choose whether or not to be bullied, and frankly, I didn't choose to be hated for no reason. These other kids around the world also didn't choose to be bullied, and their bully shouldn't just be treated with a slap on the shoulder.
