I related to this article because I am exactly like the author. I don’t want to talk to anyone who is not in my clique. If my friends don’t go somewhere with me I wont go or join anything. I'm also not outgoing with many people. I am what they call "antisocial".

Throughout my high school experience I've noticed I never speak up when I'm supposed to like my English seminars, because I can never speak up. Each day I tell myself I will speak up and speak my mind. But its like each time my mouth is shut tight and the problem is its affecting my grades. When I was in third grade I was bullied because I wore glasses and I was ugly. Each day I went to school I would suffer all the offensive language they came up with to make fun of me. They say to tell teachers that they will help you but it’s a lie because they never did anything to help me. My only option was to move schools and I've been moving schools ever since till I got to my current school. I never speak up hoping people won’t notice am there and for them not to tell me anything.

The only one to blame is myself because I don’t take risks to step outside my comfort zone and try to move on because bullying people about wearing glasses is overrated and the people who bullied me are not the people that are now in my classes. I should try and experience the benefits to high school on my own because in the end the only person who cares about my future is myself. I connected with this article and I thank the author without someone telling me their high school experience, I would have never noticed this and wouldn’t have had motivation to improve for my success in life.
