Hi. My name is Mikayla, and this my story.

I'm always bullied, by my friends and people that I don't know. The reason is because I'm a little on the chubby side, Everywhere I go, people stare at me. It doesn' feel good at all. Like once at summer camp, this kid made a fortune teller. And he made it just for me. And when he finished the fortune it said you will lose weight. I tryed to laugh it off, but I felt really bad. Then he started making all these jokes like,"Maybe it's for the better," and,"I can see you getting slimmer."

That day, I went home crying. And on anoher website, this girl said that I was a copy cat, a hater, and a dog. I blocked her, but it still hurts. I try not to let it get me down, but it hurts, more than sticks and stones. Bu the most important thing is to tell someone. If I don't want them to tell anyone else, including my parents, I ask them to sign a paper stating that they can't tell anyone. Or if you still don't feel comfortable telling someone, get a journal, that helped me.

In summer camp boys are at the age where they are trying to impress their friends by picking on anyone for a laugh. You did the right thing though when you laughed it off. Dont ever let them see that it bothers you because they will feed off of that. Getting a journal is good to keep and express yourself without feeling like you are being judged. Dont be afraid to visit your school counselor and explain your feelings and they will help you and give you solutions to your problems with bullies.

Hello Mikayla. What have your parents said about the kids that bully you for your weight?

They told me to always defend myself, and that as long as I know that that stuff isn't true, I'll be fine!

Your parents are right, ignore the lies and protect your good name!

Keep tough Mikayla because you will find friends that will help you get through this by sticking together. The best thing to do is act like the bullies dont bother you and they will go away. If you look upset they will continue to try and hurt your feelings. The more you ignore them the more they will leave you alone!
