I was bullied severely at middle school and then all the way until my junior year of high-school. It started when I put on a lot of weight when I was around ten years old. I wasn't only fat, I was also taller than the rest of the girls and I also happened to be a really good student. So, as you can imagine, I became a target of severe name-callings like 'fat' 'ugly' 'nerd' and 'loser.' I also didn't have any friends because if I ever approached a group, they would immediately start talking louder or acting like they were busy, and I had to leave as quickly as possible. The older boys started calling me names, and I would feel ashamed, and extremely hurt, because my brother would be standing there, and doing absolutely nothing about it.
