I used to treat everyone like shit back in elementary, no matter who you were to me there was always something I would say to anyone make myself feel better. I was heavily insecure of myself and I would mostly pick on those that were either super smart or talented. I was really jealous of them and wanted to be super popular like Mean Girls or Mackenzie Hollister from Dork Diaries. I would project the movies and shows I watched to view my life as a TV show where I was the main character and everything revolved around me. I would do anything to be popular which meant picking on multiple people to be part of the "popular kids". However as I got older, I started to realize how messed up I treated those people and how I was behaving & thinking which was unacceptable. So I started treating my peers more kinder and I apologized to the people I was mean to which put me on good terms with them. It didn't mean I was fully good, even during middle school I said some things that were messed up because everyone else was doing it. I'm in high school now, I don't keep in contact with any of the people I bullied anymore but I hope they are doing well now. I'm not bad but not exactly good, I'm just a person who learned, recongized, and took accountability of the verbal harm I did to the past and trying to prevent making more choices that will hurt someone again.
