HELP STOP BULLYING!!!!!
The following has been written by @Starscoutshare For the first few years of my sheltered life, I had not met any bullies. Just so you know, after I was kicked out of my kindergarden for obeying the rules (such as raising my hand when asked a question or drawing inside the lines, but I guess the teacher was playing favorites), I went into homeschooling. When I turned 11 years old, I noticed a theme: Whoever was my friend when I was younger, they were leaving me. I don't think it was because we were growing up. I think it was because I was homeschooled. Because after they would ask what school I go to, I would say I homeschool. And they would scrunch up their noses and forget I exist. Ex: I had a next door neighbor whose kids we've known since we were in diapers. We grew up together and had playdates. After COVID was over, and we were finally able to play outside again, I dashed over to the fence and waved "Hi" to the oldest sister. She said nothing. I said hi again. She said nothing. I said hi once again. She finally said something, and it hurt. "You are a stranger, I do not know you." And she went inside her house, leaving me dumbfounded. All I wanted was some human interaction, and all I got was the invisiblity treatment. Some way to pay back for the toilet paper we gave them. I do not know if that was bullying, but it was only when I turned 13 years old that I met bullies. I can't say I have been bullied by them, becuase I shot them down before they could even. So even if I haven't experienced any scarring bullies, I am aware of it and I want the rest of you who lived sheltered lives like me to know it, too.
