r, f, and n words. I got hit. Stuff was thrown at me. At age nine, I was living in New York when a kid pinned me against a wall and pulled a knife on me while yelling slurs.
Today, I can remember the fear I felt while being bullied. I never really stood up for myself. I used to cut myself, and I tried drowning myself at age 10.
My mom came to my rescue and gave me CPR. Another time I tried hanging myself, but could not go through with it.It truly breaks my heart when I hear about someone ending their life because they have been bullied for their sexual orientation.
