text: did school ever make you suicidal? why?   yes. i was teased relentlessly.  i would be just walking alone, trying to avoid people like someone avoids the plague, and kids would go out of thier way to tease me. no one talked to me at all. i was in a graduating class of 13 students so basically it was the cool kids vs. the dork. i had only one "friend" and she only talked to me  because the cool kids wouldn't.  she would rat out my secrets just to get back up on the social ladder. i got so down that i gained weight and suffered from scoliosis ( back problems).i could not look at myself in the mirror becasue it would depress me. the very sight of me made me grieve. i was teased because of my looks, something i could not control. when in the car with my mom  i asked her if she would miss me if i died. i just wanted to know someone cared, and i knew she was working hard at school so we could have a better life. thats when i revealed i wanted to commit suicide. she said it was a "plan of the devil" ( we are religious) and told me not to worry,just pray.  funny how that was middle school. i was depressed all three years. once i got to highschool i was sooo happy. no one teased me. everyone was so nice. i had friends, i wasnt popular but i had friends! i felt the stress lift off of me.  i lost weight and the scoliosis went away!  now i look back at those days and im sad from time to time, but im so happy my mom graduated form college and got a great paying job. she was able to send me to a nice private hs and i was treated kindly. i am somewhat happy i didnt kill myself because now i am attending uconn at storrs and am quite happy. i made it through , but i grieve for the many that werent as lucky as me.
