I get bullied sometimes.
Makes me feel little.
Makes me feel like i'm a waste of space.
Sometimes they "don't" mean it.
But I always take everything to heart.
And then they never ask if i'm okay.
Nobody ever does.
I had to sit at an assigned lunch table at 10 years old, and be bullied for what I looked like. And someone, who I considered a friend, who I considered an ally, someone who would help me--laughed alongside them. As if our friendship didn't matter.
If you see someone being bullied, don't stand and gawk.--or hold up your phone so the whole world can see.
Say something.
