It suck to be different!! Or does it?

It is hard being different only because some people just don't understand.

Getting Bullied just because your different? I'll never understand, and teachers near by watching not doing anything to help? one day one of my "Friends" bought me an ice-cream at lunch I was so excited as she was bringing it to me another girl ran to her and told her not to go near me because I had a disease she throw the ice-cream in the trash. I didn't understand what they meant by I had a disease but everyone started laughing at me I remember telling my teacher and she called me a tattletale and told me to go sit in the hallway I didn't even finish my lunch. I started crying and the teacher took out her phone and acted like she was recording me and said she was going to send the video to my mom. I thought I was in trouble but didn't understand why so this made it worse. My mom got a call saying I was having a heard day and she needed to come get me. Oh she did, when mom asked what happed I was afraid because they said I was a tattle tail so I just said I couldn't tell her... I remember mom stopping the car and looking at me saying no matter what I tell her anything, I've never got into trouble so never keep anything from here. So I told her everything, my mom was so sad but told me it was ok, we went and got lunch and lots of ice-cream. the next day mom drove me to school and called for a meeting. I don't know what happened in the meeting but things got a little better for a week... it's really hard for me being different but I'm getting used to it, mom's said being different is gift it's ok to be different cause not one person is the same. don't ever feel ashamed.


People don't understand how it makes us feel, it's not just about name calling not for me, I have been put in trash cans, had my food tossed in the trashed, kicked by a teacher because I couldn't walk fast, smacked in my face, pushed down steps, shoved into glass, hair pulled, stabbed with a pencil and sexual assaulted on the bus, I because afraid to speak because no matter how hard my mom tried. the school board wouldn't do anything . after the assault on the bus they told mom they would pay for all my homeschooling book she could keep me home and I was homeschooled the rest of my middle school time.
