This is Ada Grace Little-Bear Paw writing. I can't sleep. Too much on my mind, mainly about what I have to put up with at school.
And yet Mother and Father (or even Grandmother and Grandfather) won't do anything about it to help me with my special problem. Can't they see that I am miserable??
As I said in the first part of this story, I am bullied at school. All the kids tease me; I have no friends. And the teachers, they don't do anything to stop it. I think maybe it's 'cause they're way too busy teaching the other kids, or maybe worse, they just don't seem to care. I am called "Baby Whale", "Kindergarten Baby", and much, much worse.
Even the Anti-Bullying Campaigns they have held haven't seemed to have done any good 'cause the kids who get teased are still hassled by the bad kids.
It's enough to make me want to run away or worse.
I don't know what I am going to do about my special problem, but I can tell you this: if it doesn't stop soon, I might have to do something desperate to put an end to this once and for all.
I'm not a bad kid. I just happen to be bigger than a lot of 'em. And yeah, I know it's my fault, but when I'm sad, I eat. It's that simple. Yeah, Mother and Father (not to mention, Grandmother and Grandfather) do try to help, but what would really help is for me to go to a different school altogether. I've been on diets ever since I can remember, and yeah, I do lose the weight, but it always comes back, and then I'm fatter than ever before.
It's a never-ending battle, and I hate it. I absolutely freaking HATE it!!!!
Well, I've done made myself cry again, so I'd better stop writing before someone hears me crying. I will write in here again ... if there even IS a next time. Take care and hopefully you'll hear from me again soon.
A well-written topic about teenagers and the bullies. Now we know why some kids keep eating, because they turn to food for comforts. It's sad when kids feel "unprotected" when they go to school. Teachers also have a handful, so many bullying behaviors of the children go unnoticed; and also many kids nowadays take guns to school, so even the teachers are afraid of these "out-of-control" kids. So sad!
When my daughter was a teenager, she also had big girl that bullied her everyday in school. Many days she did not want to go to school at all. That big girl of a bully even had the nerve to come to our door to bully my daughter, my hubby took a baseball bat and chased this big girl down the street. My girl had to change school.
