Life Experiences

My Experience With Bullies and why I got into health and fitness;

On this page I am going to share the experiences which have changed my life and made me who I am. I am never shared these thoughts and feelings with anyone before and feel I am finally ready to reveal what I have went through.

During secondary school i was bullied from day one, I suffered verbal and physical abuse from my attackers both during school and when i got home through social media.

These people made me feel worthless and that i didn't belong in this world, I cried everyday and I started binge eating to make myself feel better, I found comfort in food. I would eat a tub of ice scream, a large bag of crisps, a couple of chocolate bars and a two litre bottle of sprite most nights as I couldn't handle the bullying.

My parents knew something wasn't right, they had spoken to teachers and I even broke down in class crying my eyes out because the bullying was that bad. The school done nothing about it so my parents decided I would be changing to a new school the following year.

They wrote a letter to the head teacher explaining why I would be moving school and I will never forget them calling me into their office asking me why I was leaving and how they were trying to make out it was my fault that i was still being bullied and that I never told anyone.

September came and I finally got to leave the school that I will always remember as hell. The new school was much better, with a more controlled environment although I was still bullied since people knew my tormentors from hell.

Because of the suffering I decided to kept to myself, I focused on my GCSE's and spent every lunch in the library completing my coursework and homework so I wouldn't have to do it at home. I did very well in my coursework and exams and finally got to leave school and start a diploma in travel and tourism.

Starting my diploma elsewhere was the beast thing that could have happened to me, i made new friends, i was happier than i ever had been and i decided i would finally start being healthier and exercising to take care of me physical and mental health. I made new friends, had my first boyfriend and I ended up going to New York to work at a summer camp through Camp America.

During my time at college I also had a hard time as I realised my parents weren't happy and that my mother was having an affair, my parents separated in 2012 and shortly after this I was knocked down by a range rover but I did not let this stop me from achieving my goals.

I lost a total of 49 pounds and realised that I was worth something, that my life has a purpose and also how to stand up for myself. I had a few terrible friendships as well which i will go into in another post.
