Hi, my name is Sapphire. I go to a school which I now love, but I used to hate it, especially

on my birthday. So I'm going to share my experience with you. I was walking to school, felt all

happy until this bully came up to me and started bullying me about my colour, my skin. I felt hurt.

Then the next day he carried on doing it and he carried on doing it for 5 whole weeks and

I tried to do whatever I could to make him stop.

I changed myself completely, I bought new stuff but that just felt horrible so I stopped.

One day I got home from school, looked in the mirror and said, who is he, why is he

bullying me?

The next day I had confidence, stand up to him and I did and it really worked.

So here's a message, don't let other people hold you back, follow your dreams, do what you want and stand up to them bullies.
