6. Why is this important to me?
I have had my fair share of bullying. In
middle school, I was extremely different
from the others in my class. They would
make fun of me for being who I was. Now,
I've grown to love myself despite what other
people might say. I fully support this cause
because I want to help others overcome their
struggles with bullying because I know what
it feels like to be in their shoes.
