Some people just stand by and watch people get picked on for being different or weird. Maybe if someone had noticed me then I wouldn’t be the person I am now.
Back in elementary school, I was a small, skinny, and happy kid who was shy and was easy to make cry. Older kids would make fun of me, call me names (like idiot, stupid, a moron etc.), and say that I couldn’t do anything right. The worst thing was that people would join in on it instead of helping me. That made me a lone wolf, handling all of my problems by myself because I couldn’t trust anyone. I still act like that because I couldn’t trust many people now. The only way I can solve my problems, is by burying them deep inside my conscience and never talking about it, but sometimes I have flashbacks to those times and I just break down. I don’t have any idea on how those flashbacks happen but they just happen at random times.
In elementary school, I would only hang out with girls because I could only trust them, I can’t remember their names but I do know they were really nice and sweet. This was good and bad for me at the same time. This taught me how to be respectful and romantic because they taught me these things. The flaw to this is that I had in the shadows (stay in the background, hidden, from everyone) because I didn’t want to be made fun of because of this as well. Now I mostly spend my time in the shadows except around my friends because they have proven them self’s that I can trust them. 
Some people will stand up for people, while others don’t. Some either join in or just stand of the side lines and watch. The struggle form my past has made me into the angry, depressed, uncaring person I am now. I now have become the person I didn’t want to be because no one was there to help me at all.
