Bullying: A Short Story

Improved Essays
300 people screaming at me outside of the bus, insulting me, shouting cruel words and rumoring one another shameful things about me. At that time, I believed I was the bravest 13 year old girl ever, so off course I tried to get out of the bus and scream to the crowd and defend myself but the bus driver didn't let me. That happened in the parking lot of the school and the shame I felt in the way home, with 25 more people in the bus talking about what just had happened was undescriptible. That event, and some other bullying acts I had to endure, where thanks to my sweet and great friends I had on the moment. Maybe if that would have happen to someone else, they had wish that it had never happened, but I feel thankful for that phase of my life …show more content…
I gathered with terrible friends, that were only for me when they needed something, or for chilling out, but they were not true friends. Everyone constantly told me that they talked about me behind my back and I never cared about that because hanging out with them made me “popular”. They were the ones in charged of making all the rumors and gossiping about me, and that was what made people hate me.

I have always been someone with very clear ideals, this means that what I think I stand with it in my mind and no matter what, I am not going to change my opinion. In that days, I pretended to be someone who I wasn't until the point of talking and supporting ideals that in the reality, I did not support. All of this for social acceptance and for people to like me. I was not sincere because I faked to be someone who I wasn't only for people to like me. I didn't say what I thought, I didn't act how I wanted and I wasn't myself only because society demand that I had a mask on my face. From all of these I learned that is better to have 3 true friends which is what I have nowadays, than 100 fake friends. The friends that I have today are true friends in which I can count no matter what the situation is, we are very different and have very opposite ideals but we can talk about them and be ourselves with each other. The main thing I learned is that being sincere and honest with yourself and others is the most important thing in life, because you can trick everyone except yourself,and when you start to be someone who you are not with others, you are going to start believing that to yourself and start losing your true

One of the biggest obstacles I have had to overcome was realizing that I needed to surround myself with different friends. Looking back now, I can see that this issue began in early elementary school, but it wasn't until seventh grade that I realized that I felt weighed down whenever I was around my group of friends.
