My Most Influential Experience

Improved Essays
In my life there have been multiple major events that have taken place that have impacted me. While they are not major to others or may not seem so substantial to them they strongly influenced the person I am now and how I grew up. The most influential event I can think of were my experiences in middle school. This is a brief story of my time there and my experience with nonstop bullying. In the start of middle school I was a good active kid trying to make the grade and make a few friends at the same time I was nice to most everyone and really didn’t try to do anything wrong.

I sat away from everyone but that helped me none in the long run as they would walk over to me and continually harass me. They were creative though it was never the same thing twice they picked on me about my shoes, my clothing, my hair, and my acne. Needless to say any imperfection I had was magnified by these people every day for the entire year and the teacher did nothing that helped me he tried from time to time but a simple referral meant nothing to them but in the end ii passed the class by myself with no friends just the start of bad social anxiety. I then went on to my next few classes thankfully I was free from them in most of my classes except that one, I thought that was one of the worst year of my life but truly if I had known what lay ahead I would have savored that year. The next year I can’t recall in all that detail as it was the worst year of my life until the very end the old bullies were back I still had no real friends and was a social outcast but to top it all off there were new bullies also but they were more confident and physical this year is probably one of the reasons even now I trust few and am friends with fewer I don’t like people or I should say don’t trust them. But the year went on and every class I got harassed and I soon found the worst to be gym, where sports injuries can happen easily and teachers don’t go in the locker rooms and even then they do precious little to prevent us from abusing each other verbally and

How do you pretend it doesn’t exist?” With tears in my eyes, feeling like the smallest and weakest human in the entire universe on the principal’s office chair I nodded and agreed to ignore it although I knew it wouldn’t stop anything. From a very bright, smart child I became lonely and very…

I typically felt this while attending McKinley High School.…
