I realize that there are always people on the outside. They aren't accepted by the people around them and I think that isn't right. All they want is to be accepted by their classmates, colleagues, friends and even family.
Yesterday I was riding my bike to a friend's house because it was her birthday. I was riding behind some boys. At first they just looked over their shoulders and laughed at me. Later, when I was passing them, they began making movements to me that were supposed to imitate mongols and started calling me names and making fun of my red hair. That never happened to me before! I used to be proud of my hair, but now for the first time I wasn't. I Started to go faster, but that only encouraged them to go on. When I finally passed them, I directly took a right turn to try to lose them. I didn't look back. I arrived at my friend's house late because I lost my way trying to get away. I have friends that were bullied when they were younger. I wasn't and I know what happened to me yesterday wasn't really that bad, but the things they said about me really stuck and made me doubt myself and the way I looked.
Always remember that the things you say to other people can really hurt them and that they can really have an impact on their life. Don't Let anyone make you feel like you aren't as good as them!
