I am currently in the 11th grade, but when I was in middle school I was always the target for bullying. All 3 years. I was also a bully, I had no way of letting my anger out so I did what was done to me. One time on the bus, a kid was making jokes about people. He said "You're so ugly you make that girl look pretty!" and of course that girl was me. I was so embarrassed. Everyone laughed, and from that point on everything I did was critized and made fun of. I had plenty of friends and the bullies didn't really get to me. After watching bully, all my anger and fustration was let out. I wouldn't consider myself popular now in high school, but I don't start drama and I often stand up to bullying. It always amazes me to see how immature some people can be. I have had suicidal thoughts before but I NEVER EVER dared to attempt it. I have so much going for me. I know my worth, I know that killing myself would be devastating. Not only for me but for my friends and family. -Mykel Ferguson
