Personal Narrative: I Call His Bugger Boy

Great Essays
I was a young boy in the 2nd grade at Muldoon Elementary. I Will not be using the actual names but let's call this kid Kyle. Kyle had a very bad flu and always snorted and sniffed his buggers up. I Remember he smelled weird too, he also always sneezed in his shirt and wiped his buggers with his shirt. He wasn't a bad kid, he was smart and nice, he was one of my peers but I didn't really know him. All I wanted to be was funny and popular.
First, Kyle was a lonely kid because no one liked to be around his buggers in fear that they would be nasty. Me and my friends thought it would be funny one day to call him bugger boy. This has haunted me my whole life. One little decision just to have a quick laugh turned into a Life Haunting Guilt. That day, my friends Kodak, Toneone, and I decided it would be funny to call him bugger boy. The thing was, the whole class joined in and the whole class was bullying this poor and innocent peer. I felt guilty at the time but I was afraid to tell the other kids to stop because they would probably call me a scaredy cat. Everything at that time was being the most liked kid at school, and I really admired “cool” kids. This one day thing turned into a everyday thing. The worst thing is, he had no friends. Kyle was a loner and

We were both teenagers and we knew what respect was, we fully understood bullying, we both remembered the horrible past. Him the most. Kyle was tall, never really had friends or company, he never talked to peers that grew up with him. Everyone knew about the past, no one could hide from it, and no one would talk about it. Luckily for me, I saw him a lot in school and walked everyday feeling guilty. Having loss my mother, I realized how hard life was without a mother, how hard it was to live with another person. I could feel his pain as a child, I knew what I did wrong and I was not going to hide from it any longer. I was going to face my fears and do what was

    From an outsider’s perspective, Kyle McDevitt seems to portray a loner with the way he silently sits in class, obeying the teacher’s commands, but we all fail to realize that he actually genuinely loves people. He fears isolation and solitude and enjoys having the company of others when he becomes upset. He finds comfort in the smiles laughter of his friends and peers. When you look at Kyle from a distance, you see a stand-offish and unwelcoming person. You only need to glance at the emotionless face across the hall and you feel the need to run in the opposite direction.…

    In Sleeping Freshmen Never Lie by David Lubar, the scene I choose for the rewrite in another character’s point of view is the one when Vernon attacks Scott from behind while Kyle and Kelly watched. This was on page 244. I choose this scene because there is so much action and I feel I can write about this scene because so much occured. The original scene is told from Scott’s perspective. Now, the perspective I will be writing it in is Vernon’s; so, we will get his perspective.…

    Seventh grade, my second year now at what I thought to be the worst school in the world. On back to school night I met a man who would change my perspective on life completely, that man being Brandon Lilly. Henry Adams once said “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.” At a mere five-foot four he appeared to be a kid minus the burly lumberjack beard that he possessed. I remember being skeptical at first because I had never had a male teacher before.…

    The noise and commotion of hundreds of seventh and eighth graders in a crowded hallway wasn’t even enough to drown out his voice or hide his actions. I can still hear “Big Nose Rhodes” echoing through the hallways at Robidoux Middle School. I can still see the big smile on Kris Kerns’ face as he walked down the hallway across from me. He would whip his head back and grabbing his eye and out loudly over the crowd, “OUCH! You got me again, big nose Rhodes.”…

That is where all my problems started; something started to grow inside of me like an embryo of a new unborn child. Slowly but surely I sank into a dark abyss of depression.…

    I was afraid to sharpen a pencil in second grade. My most vivid elementary school memories spring from instances when I was being reprimanded by an adult for doing something wrong. I did everything in my power to avoid those dreadful moments, but they still presented themselves on occasion. Even now I feel a pit in my stomach when I recall the way I felt during those times, regardless of the fact that almost all of them would easily roll off my back if they occurred today.…
