Bullying makes a big effect on some people including me. It used to make me weak and shy. I am stronger than before. I decided not to let it get to me because if I let it get to me I would harm myself like I did before. I let it harm me so much I got depressed and started cutting myself. I would think about sucide all the time. I was too scared to tell my parents about my depression and how I got depressed. I wasn't myself and my friend Marissa soon found out. "Emily you can't hide like this." she said. "I know but I don't want to hurt myself even more." I said. I knew she was right. A girl named Jenna said to me 3 minutes later after I finished talk to my friend,"Your depressed than if your depressed you should go die in a hole!" I was stunned. I couldn't believe what I heard from a girl that was supposed to be the class president. "What?!" I said suprised. "All I said if your that depressed you should kill yourself!" After school I went home and told my parents I was depressed. I felt a little better after telling them. "Emily it's good your told us" said my mother. "Emily we're taking you to a hosptile." said my father. So I went to the hosptile and saw other people like me who were depressed. I meet a girl named Suzie. Bullying had hurt her so much that she had been in the hosptile for 3 months. Then I realized that I can't let it bother me. So 5 days later I went back home. I still think about what people say to me but I get over it faster. I know I can't let people bring my party down. I have to think more next time and be the stronger and taller person. Now I know that people can't pull me down. Only I can help them pull me down. If you guys are getting bullied and need help text me at (636)-300-7025
