Personal Narrative: My Experience At Ridgeview Middle School

Decent Essays
My experience with bullies started around the fifth grade. I never liked to talk to about my problems, and I went to counselling only on my moms acount but I never liked talking about my feelings because at the end of the day the consular never really did anything to stop bullies, honestly going to the consular showed them I was weak and they were able to get to my feelings, but a hop and a skip ahead to my eighth year after three years of non-stop bullying I found myself at Ridgeview Middle Schools formal (a.k.a Junior High Prom!!!)

    From my personal experience, when I was in elementary school I remember my teacher would let us sit on yoga ball it always helped me concentrate and it helped me when I was really active because I could not move around, it will make me fall if I move around. I like the idea of standing desks because I prefer standing a lot but when I need to I could sit down on the tool, but I could still move my legs around and be somewhat active.
