My Thoughts on Bullying

Words are dangerous and they can leave a nasty scar. In elementary school I was bullied by a set of people who were not the same race as me. Well what does race have to do with this? It is rare to find someone making fun of their own race; the majority of people make fun of other races, so I happened to be the victim. It was verbal bullying, but at the time I was young and i did not know what to do, besides listen to their comments. I remember the stereotypical and racist comments being shot at me. it got to a point where i just completely broke down. on the long run i saw my race differently due to the comments, i felt ashamed to be who i am. However, i later knew that they were just being ignorant and that i should forget about it. I also realized that bullying can damage the person psychologically; also, it makes one realize what kind of people are in this world, corrupt society.
