It looked kind of ridiculous but somehow I liked his style and I went to go talk to him. I don’t remember exactly what I said but I do remember him punching me in my arm forcefully and laughing about it. Being confused, I laughed along with him. After, he asked for my name and I told him, Jason Rogers. And as I waited to hear what his name was I stumbled across his bookbag. It had pink glittery flowers with barbies madly laughing. The bag

I am the type of teenage boy to stay hidden in the back and do my work while secretly judging everybody. I’ve been getting bullied in school since I was in 5th grade. I am currently starting my senior year of highschool. The things they say are really harsh but now after so many years, it doesn’t phase me. I have had all type of rude things said to me from faggot to dicey. They called me dicey during my freshman year of highschool because I tried to kill myself. I had really low self esteem and I thought it would be easier for them to see me gone. I don’t feel that way anymore; I got counseling and I switched schools,but that didn’t stop the new students from bullying me. All I have is one more year of this tedious place and I will be gone and out of everybody 's way. I have a plan for

    I was never really beat up but I was picked on and tormented for everything from my brother to the cloths I was wearing to my athletic ability to how well I did in school.

My mother was in the bathroom, she was preparing for a night out - she had on the best pair of black leather ankle boots -- yet I nagged her to talk about my dad. I was seven years old when my mom told me the story about death of my father; although, I’ve never gotten the full details until I was sixteen years old. Before that age, I usually created my own scenarios and scenes on how the tragedy happened. After those moments I’d often find myself very unhappy, I would focus my thoughts on a person I care dearly for but know nothing about.…
