I just can’t take it anymore.

All of the hate that I always get from people was really starting to bother me now. It’s just too painful to put up with.

You may be wondering what I’m talking about right now, right? 

Well, you see, you have to know that not everyone is going to like you at times. But you have to put up with that.

If someone doesn’t like you, that’s completely normal. We’ve all been through those awful moments.

But when people start insulting you to your face or behind your back, you have to learn to defend yourself.

The problem is, I always got so insecure about myself.

I’m really afraid to stand up for myself because I had thought that people would laugh at me.

You know that really shy girl in your home room class that would always sit way in the back of the room and never talk to people?

Well unfortunately, that girl was me.

But somehow, I overcame that terrible fear, thanks to a really close friend of mine.

Now, I’m going to tell you my story and how I finally became proud of who I was.

So please pay attention.
