I've been bullied before, during my elementary day's kids in our school would tease me as a

short girl, they would even pick a name for me as a "strawberry shortcake" and tease me as a
grade 1 student even if I was already in grade 3. This affected my whole elementary life. My
expectations in schools as a happy, cheerful, and friendly environment just totally went off.
And I even experience going home crying. It happened day by day. I cried day by day. And
there was one time that I will never forget until now, that's when my mom got mad at me
because I'm crying. What she said was "Those people who bullies you and makes you cry
everyday don't know you, I and you yourself are the only people who know you." She told me
that I shouldn't let anyone else change myself and judge me.

Bullying happens in many ways. It can be verbal, physical, social and even cyber bullying.
But whatever this type of bullying is. We should know that bullying is unacceptable. Bullying
shows no respect and kindness. Bullying kills other people, they're emotions, mindset and
even their dreams. Who would have thought that, that one word you picked on someone
would break their hearts and shatter their dreams. Let's respect one another. Let's say no to
bullying and stop being a bully. Let's create a safe environment together.

Always remember that those who bullies you don't know you. Wear your confidence and not
their mocks.
