This one girl was nasty to me because I had a brown eye and a blue eye. Something that simple. She endlessly teased me and eventually started to call me far nastier things. I started getting depressed, I never wanted to go to school. I went as far as making myself vomit. But when I was at home they would send me emails and text messages. I started to have suicidal thoughts. One day I saw the ad for Kids Helpline.

She made me feel bad in every way possible. She even turned everyone against me - all the people I used to call my friends became my enemies! I hated my life and wanted to kill myself. It took some time, but I finally went to the school counsellor who told me about Kids Helpline.

They took my happiness away and made me feel like I was small and insignificant. People always tried to tell me that it would get better, that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. But I never believed them – instead, I always believed the people that threw words at me like they didn’t hurt.
