Well I have been thinking about writing this post for quite some time now and I guess it is time to write it.
Hi.
My name is Victoria Zana Charlotte Ademi.
I was born March 25th 1995 and thus making me 20 years old.
Growing up..I knew I was not like the other children. I could already read books at the age of 5 and I enjoyed reading to the other children at kindergarten. I like many other children back then liked the old cartoons that were on TV like Courage the Cowardly Dog, The Powerpuff Girls heck I even watched Samurai Jack We were looking forward to start school or as we liked to call it in kindergarten. Big kid school. I think I was the one who was looking forward to starting first grade the most. I thought it would be fun to make new friends.
And then i started first grade of school and that’s when it got…complicated so to speak. At first I couldn’t quite get my head around why some of the other kids said mean things to me..so I thought they were joking aorund. But that was not the case as I found out. The mean words turned to shoving me into the wall and wishing me dead. It got so severe that I tried to avoid school by pretending I was sick all the time. Their reasoning was because I liked stuff they found “wierd” and “childish”. . Anyway back to the topic at hand. The bullying got so bad that I had to transfer to another school. I really hoped that no one would bully me in the new school I went to. But alas that was not the case as there were two guys that always used to follow me around school and throw rocks at me and I am talking about rocks the size of a fist..they wrote post-its with horrible things that they wished upon me.
And I felt so freaking crappy. My self-esteem was at rock bottom, I was always thinking that people talked shit behind my back and…well I thought aobut horrible things. I even thought of ending my own life. I locked myself in my room. I had to go to the therapist once a month to get help. I wasn’t happy. I thought that I had done something to make them treat me the way they did.
But now in 2015…I am the happiest girl ever. I have a great job, and great friends and I proved my bullies wrong. I did amount to something and so will you. Don’t listen to all that cruelty your bullies are spewing at you.
Things do get better.
