no one deserves it... yet it happens all the time

*To start off, I was, and have been, bullied my entire life. It reached its peak in high school and it's the main reason why I've wanted move away (and stay away) from the town of Troy.*

Right now, people (kids and parents) are calling my sister and her friends bullies... in school, on Facebook, and to their faces. The thing is: they NEVER doing the bullying, they were STANDING UP for the kid that was being bullied, but the bullies decided to pin everything on my sister and her friends so that they (the bullies) could get away with it.

You have no idea how angry I am right now because of all of this. I HATE that bullying exists and no one deserves it, and I mean NO ONE. I hate that the kids who are standing up for the ones being bullied end up getting the bullying pinned on them, and nobody will do anything about it. The high school principal has already said that he doesn't get paid enough to deal with all the bullying, which infuriates me even more... because a girl I know moved away from Troy and transferred to another school because she was bullied nonstop and the principal wouldn't do anything about it.

I hate that the "popular" (rich, jocks, etc.) kids get away with bullying, without any punishment or disciplinary action. They have NO idea what damage they could do to a kid... in most cases, the kids that are bullied will end up depressed, enough to the point where they might even be suicidal, just because they want the bullying (and pain) to end.

I've been depressed the past 9 or so years of my life... and when I was bullied, it'd only get worse. I was the "good Christian girl," according to everybody in my high school. I never went to any parties, never drank, and never broke any rules. I'd be singled out every day because of either my beliefs or my looks. About 90% of the guys in my school would call me "the ugliest thing I've ever seen," among other things. They're the reason why I have such low self-esteem.

Then it all hit a peak my senior year... we had a new teacher for math and Spanish that I was the teacher's aide for, who was engaged during the first half of the school year. He and his fiance broke up over Christmas break, and once everyone in the school found out, they all blamed me... calling me a "hussy" and a "homewrecker," when I had nothing to do what happened between that teacher and his ex-fiance. The rest of my senior year was hell, to say the least. Luckily, I cut off all the people in my life who had bullied me and I'd been fine since... till now, when all this crap has happened to my sister and her friends.

As bad as it sounds, I NEVER told my mom about the bullying I endured when I was in high school until the other night... four years later, after I graduated from high school. I didn't want her to know about what all I had to deal with when I was still in Troy High... but now she finally understands why I wanted to leave this town and never come back.

I hope to God that all of this will be resolved soon, without my sister and her friends being punished for things that they never did... Prayer would be greatly appreciated.
