Whenever I do tell people like the full extent of like what happened and why I was bullied, everyone always asks me,
00:00:05

00:00:10
me that just wasn't an option? We couldn't really drive to another elementary school and my parents um they
00:00:17
really are not the kind of parents who are able to homeschool and certainly not homeschool well. So, it just really
00:00:22
wasn't an option. So, unfortunately, I just kind of had to deal with it. And I'll tell you right now, it did not make
00:00:27
me stronger. It didn't make my personality better or any of the other things you hear that make, you know,
00:00:34
that says that bullying is a good thing. Um, it was just awful and it it still affects me to this day, unfortunately.
