😭 Every start of each new school year, my mom expected me to be excited & my answer was always the same as the year before, "" Mom it's prison to me ,constant daily torture "" . Even TWO of my teachers bullied me more horribly than the kids 😫. Kids would push me ,kick me , spit on me . I wasn't just bullied because of my weight. I was born with a birth defect that gave me a slight speech issue, I have learned to hide it now. Also I was bullied because of my parents jobs & also where my home was . And I have discovered that even as adults, we still get looked at a specific way because of social media and we are expected to all live up to what everyone else likes and all be exactly the same. But social media doesn't understand GOD 'S plan for making us all very different and unique, we are all special designs of GOD 'S creation and not what fashion designer 's are saying we should look like. We need to destroy every camera in the world to make the world a better place 🙏 for "" EVERYONE """.

Oh my gosh, painfully! Daily I was bullied. I know my teachers were aware of it, but never did or said anything. I was told by my parents not to let them see you get mad. This went on through high school! (My dad was the asst principal…)

In elementary school I did suffer from it. As a Zillenial, I like to believe that I was among the first truly fat kids ever produced since all my peers and fellow students were thin and couldn't understand how I was so large. But luckily for me, since I have a joking personality it minimalized it and I was able to live life without it ever being too much of a problem. But in Football, oh boy, it was not easy. Some of my worst school days was out on the field being everyone's punching bag. People who have fatphobia are nuisances, but always try to have your chin up and surround yourself with loving/good support groups. It made the difference for me when I was at my lowest at times.
