Stop the bullying and hate

When I was in my middle school years I started experiencing getting bullied.I was always a quiet,shy easygoing person.I couldn't understand why some people would talk about me and make jokes.I would eat lunch alone I really had no friends well maybe 2 friends.Walking threw the school hall people would throw things at me and call me horrible names.There were days I would play sick so I didn't have to go to school.Certain classes I did not want to go because it was a couple of bully's there that would always pick on me.I was bullied from 4th grade all the way til my 11th grade year.I just wanted people to like me I wanted to be cool but I just wasn't.I grew up a good kid with a good heart I would do anything for anyone(and still will) but I was never good enough or just didn't fit in.There were days I would wake up not feeling happy.It was times the girls in school would even tease me.I tried everything to make friends but would just get embarrassed and laughed at. My mother used to tell me just ignore them but she didn't know it was much harder than that.When I went to the ninth grade I played football but I was no good.I remember a couple of the guys threatened to beat me up if I didn't drop off the team.Needless to say I didn't but they didn't beat me up either.The next day I went to my science class and someone hit me behind the head I didn't know who did it but every time I turn around they would hit me again.I remember being so sad wondering why me.So my tenth grade year I thought things would change but it didn't.I remember thinking to myself I don't want to be here anymore.I think I was depressed but I stayed strong and put up with the crap for another year.I was getting tired of being mr.nice guy.I know I had a good heart but it was time for me to do something.For that whole week no one picked on me but the following week they started with me again.It was a Tuesday afternoon a guy hit me behind the head and laughed.I turned around I told him don't do it again and he did.I gave him a chance and out of nowhere I swung hit him in his mouth.We fought and yes I did get in trouble even though I told the principal what happened.I got suspended for a day but I came back to school I had no problems.I don't like to fight and if you can just walk away.After that altercation people would talk to me and I slowly started making friends.It never changed my heart about things because I knew all people aren't bullies or hateful.So til this day if i see anyone (i don't care who it is) man,woman,child of any color getting bullied I'm going to step in and stop it immediately!!It pays to be kind to one another not treat each other like animals.We all are human and we have feelings.So please stop the hatred and bullying.Til this day I still don't understand how a person can dislike someone because of skin color or just because they have a disability.We need to love one another pick each other up when we fall not laugh and talk about them.Im so glad being bullied didn't change who i am but i know how it feels.So stop the hate and bullying it is not cool at all.I don't care if you bully online,face to face or over the phone it's all the same.Needless to say i graduated from high school then came another situation.I have more of the story coming soon it's about life after highschool.So to everyone out there step up if you see someone being bullied you could make a new friend.I will be back with the next episode soon..
