One of my closet friends had several terrible experiences with bullies. They damaged her and left her with a lot of anxiety and bad memories. You know who you are, friend. This is for you.

I know people deal with bullying every day. I've only been bullied once, and it didn't last long. I'm not going to pretend I know what it's like for others to verbally beat you up, but I do know that if this is happening to you, GET HELP. You are worth it, always.
