Middle School Bullies Greer Biddlecome ’24
When I was little all the normal people, the ones with two eyes, would always make fun of me. I never knew quite why though, now I understand that it was because I’m different. They would say “Hide!! Here comes the monster with one eye!” right to my face. But that’s not even the worst part. The things they said behind my back were the worst. I once overheard these girls saying that I would never find someone to love, and I’d be alone forever. I was so scared that they would be right, and that’s why it stuck with me the most. I hoped that maybe one day someone would come and sit with me for lunch, Or ask for a pencil in class. That they could get to know me and people would see I’m not so bad afterall. When that never happened I felt lonely, So lonely that I became angry. Not just at the bullies from school, But everything and everyone. Soon I was known as the school reject and outcast. Once I realized that I was pretty much on my own, I started to stop taking what people said to heart. I accepted the fact that I would be alone, and although it still gets lonely, living here alone, I realized I am so much stronger than all those Middle school bullies. The Publication of the Arts
