| My story | |

| "Sarah why did you get a bad grade on this assignment! Your such | |
| a failure! Get ready to show Mom and Dad these bad grades! | |
| Stupid! Retard!" I remembered these thoughts swirling through my | |
| head each day as my anxiety would take over my mind. | |
| I was sixteen years old when things started to take a turn for | |
| the wost. I started high school and people were really mean and | |
| cruel. I was ignored and nobody wanted to be my friend because I | |
| was different. I was known for being emotional and slightly | |
| weird. I was in this academy that had taken in the most | |
| academically best and gifted students. I was accepted in the | |
| ninth grade, but I wish that I could tear up my application. It | |
| was not worth it. | |
| I was bullied all of high school from tenth to eleventh grade. | |
| The guys in the academy would comment that I was an idiot, | |
| retarded, stupid, and these things that would berate me. I never | |
| was happy in high school. It was a pretty bad school that had | |
| multiple fights and had even experience the worse of situations | |
| (a school shooting.) Each day, I would spend at least three | |
| hours doing homework after school. Even when I was doing school | |
| work I only did it in the closet. My anxiety was always had an | |
| all-time high. All my other schoolmates were able to laugh and | |
| enjoy life. I was alone and never had true happiness. I would | |
| only get two hours of sleep and I would feel physically and | |
| mentally awful. I would also start to do bad stuff like drink | |
| alcohol and smoke to feel a slight bit of relief. I was truly in | |
| the darkest place. | |
| My parents had got me help through talk therapy but I was never | |
| happy. I would cry pretty much each day (it would be once in a | |
| blue moon I would smile). It wasn't until I was put on | |
| medication that things sort of changed (I'm not saying that it | |
| works for everyone). I was more calmed and I still attended | |
| therapy. I reached out to people that I could trust and I met my | |
| best friend (who we shared similar situations) She got me into | |
| athletics and look forward to the future. There was something | |
| after high school and in life. | |
| Right now, I enrolled in university. I am a nursing major and | |
| want people to know there is strength in the worse times. I left | |
| my hometown and I feel that it was for the best. It is healthier | |
| that I had started somewhere new. I met so many new friends. I | |
| had felt stronger on my own | |

| 'm so sorry you had such a bad time in high school. When people | |
| bully others and are cruel and hurtful, they usually don't like | |
| themselves very much. Unfortunately, they often put their misery | |
| onto us. Anyone would be "emotional" under those conditions. | |
| (I'm glad you left your hometown, too.) | |
| I hope you're able to get the proper rest you need, now | |
| 💤 (even though I'm sure it's difficult at times, being a | |
| nursing major). | |
| Thank you for letting us see that there is a "light at the end | |
| of the tunnel" and that things can get better. | |

| crappy day. :D | |
