I grew up being bullied for being "goth" or "emo" just because I dyed my hair and had mostly dark clothes. And for being "anorexic". I've been pulled aside at lunch/in class by teachers and have them tell me I need to eat more or if I'm anorexic or I look anorexic. Never had friends because I moved schools a lot and I was quiet (due to severe anxiety) and people would ask me why I'm so quiet and I would say "I don't know". I didn't know what was wrong with me until I was like 14/15. I grew up being abused by my grandma and grandpa and had to watch them abuse other kids. My mom was never around and my grandma would tell me she doesn't love me because she never sees me. I tried getting away by going to my aunts house but my uncle was extremely abusive too. Abuse was all I knew and bein a little kid, it feels like there's nothing outside of where you live and you're stuck there. I've had years of therapy and it didn't work. Pills didn't work. I had to pick myself up from the rocks. The entire time when I finally lived with my mom, her boyfriend would give me hour lectures on how I don't have friends and I'm worthless and a fuck up because I would cut myself. Scream at me and throwing shit at me. Hes still around to this day but he "changed". There's a ton I'm leaving out but I don't want to make this long as fuck so  I dropped out of school as a sophomore and got my GED and I'm going to be a tattoo artist. And I couldn't be happier with the way I look.
