My personal experience with high school bullying
The personal narrative essay will focus on my real-life experiences while I was in high
school. It will entail the events that are still clear in my mind and which affected me in one way
or the other. My parents have three siblings. I was the last born of the family with my two elder
brothers above me. Being the youngest in the family, I had never experienced bullying before. I
attracted the attention of every individual around me and was always close to my parents and
siblings. I could not anticipate what the future had in store for me. This paper will discuss my
high school experience with bullying and how it affected my life.
I joined Eastwood Academy in Texas while I was around thirteen years old. I was a tiny
and short individual as compared to my peers in class. Before I joined high school, I had never
experienced bullying before. I had only heard about it from the stories that my elder siblings
used to tell. In my second week of high school, I mistakenly knocked one of the seniors while
walking along the path of the school. I sincerely apologized, but he verbally abused me in front
of a group. I felt very offended as I had apologized to him, and it was not my intention. I brushed
off the words that he said to me and continued with my usual activities.
I came to realize that bullying was part of high school life. Even though the teachers tried
to stop it as much as they could, some of the students still bullied their peers. I started
internalizing the verbal abuses and words that were spoken to me by my peers in different
instances. I felt lonely as isolated myself from other students. I thought that I had to find a
solution to bullying. I did not want to be bullied for the rest of my high school education only
because of my small body size.
