Bullying

You know, i was walking down the neighborhood to buy some daily needs,and there she was, my first enemy. She was so evil. She used to say that I'm ugly, I'm worthless, I  am no good and such things.
I was only a first grader in my elementary school. And she was in middle school.
She used to step on my feet, hard. And i have to pretend that I don't feel anything. Yup, that hurts.
The she has this evil mother that used to be my course teacher.
Apparently, I really wan't that good, so I need a course teacher.
And like mother like daughter, they were both evil.
She did said I was no good without her and that kind of thing. And I may seem like I don't care, or I may look like I don't understand, but I do. And deep down it hurts. It was the kind of bullying that I can't forget until now.
One day when the vacation was about to start, I asked a permission from my mother to skip class. The evil . teacher used to go to my house everyday. Imagine that, huh? Dealing with some kind of... err, witch? everyday. Well that was really something. And my mom said, okay, i can skip class. So I planned that evening to be out biking with some friends from the neighborhood. But, darn I was too late. She came in early.
So I told my younger brother to go and tell her to leave, that I am not home.
He did. But he was wayy too innocent, so he opened the door to her.
And the drama started. She yelled and yelled and i was remained still, hiding in the bathroom. She yelled "get out of there or I will call your mom!"
And I said "I am not afraid" and she yelled pretty much the same thing over and over until she was exhausted. But then she started to call me "an ungrateful kid and a girl who has no manners" and I think i have lost my mind back then. I called her "an evil witch" and every ghosts that i know (you know, kuntilanak and friends?) and she sobbed, or so I heard.
I managed to stay in the bathroom for 5 hours, or less. Maybe more. I can't recall. I was in 5th grader and that night, is freedom.
The reason I am telling you about this isn't to humiliate my ex-course teacher or my first evil girl. But to warn you. Don't say things that may hurt someone's feeling. You don't know how much it hurts, don't you?
It may lasts for a long time. So stop bullying. Cyber, or not.
Not everyone is as hard as steel. The have a heart. Some are fragile. Some are not.
So be nice.
Have a blessed new year guys.
