"The bullying got worse by text and emails."

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.

I called and instantly felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

I told my parents and they got me some sessions with a therapist. I am now attending a new school and have some new friends. I also joined a soccer team and I am going overseas for a training camp. Thanks Kids Helpline!
