Hello everyone. My name is Dylan. I'm 20. I'm from Ohio but currently residing in Myrtle Beach, SC and I just found out about this forum. This is something we need as victims of any form of bullying. What a great idea in honor of Amanda Todd. Here is my story. Growing up as a kid was a struggle. I had limited friends. Not that cool of person. I was a quiet kid. I was always shy getting out there to talk to new people and make new friends. It wasn't that easy for me because at the age of 10 I was diagnosed with a form of Autism named Aspurgers Syndrome. With a having a form of Autism, you are way different than others. Lacking Social Skills, being around big groups of people, nervous, scared and you have that awkward feeling when your around people you don't know but wanna get to know but again nervous. At the age of 11, the bullying started. 4th Grade, I was called fat, stupid, weird, ugly, and so on. Every student but 2 had no respect for me at all. Even the teacher had no respect and allowed her students to bully me. Always was receiving detention, one time a Saturday school for something that was misunderstood on what happened. After that year I left public schools. Went to a school for kids like me relating to my disability. I went there from 5th grade to 8th grade. I was still made fun at that school as well. But not as bad. Then after middle school, me and my family moved to another town in Ohio. Getting ready to transition to the private schools high school in another town but my father thought why don't we enroll Dylan into the public school system in that town called Beavercreek because they were known as one of the best school districts in the state of Ohio. I was scared at first but after 2 weeks I felt like a new person. Had a lot of good friends at the high school. Always on the merrit roll. Started a after school club for video gamers, I accomplished a lot at that high school. But, softmore year I receive news that at the end of my softmore year, we were relocating to Myrtle Beach. I was upset about it because Ohio is my home state and it was tough leaving Ohio. So we left for Myrtle Beach July 1st, 2010. It took time to meet people out here however I did already have some family out here. August 2010, I met my long lost best friend of 2 years named Andrew. Just like me except didn't have Autism and was from the south. But we were both big fluffy guys who loved to be stupid and act like morons in public. Plus loved to eat :P So I started my new school that next month, things were great at first but then 2 months later my curse came back but way beyond worse than 4th grade. I was called some of the worse things you could think of. Like I scabs on my arms because I used to pick at em when I was nervous. So they asked about em and I said I pick at em. They didn't believe it they called me an awful name called ashtray which met that these 3 awful teens went around the school saying my parents burnt me with cigarettes. I was called a Fata**, retarded, weird, annoying, a f****** loser, and so on. Did I receive justice for their actions? NO :( All they were told was to leave me alone. No form of punishment. Never ended. So then I finally thought to myself, am I just gonna sit there and let these teens ruin me and put me down, so I stood up and I said all of you are nothing but bullys and a**holes that should be ashame of yourselves. Also got into a fist fight. But I got suspended for 5 days, when I came back did I earn any respect for what I did? No. Still was tormented. I said to my mom, I can't do this anymore. I don't wanna go back. I wanna drop out. But my mom said your darn right I'm taking you out but I found another way for you to graduate, online schooling. Online schooling saved my life. I made it. I graduated with my diploma and a new set of friends that always have my back. So overall I've been through a lot in life, but I managed to rise above and succeed :) That is my life story. Today I am a great person, all my friends come to me for advice relating to love, bullying, problems or anything. I've been told I'm one of the most kindest and greatest guy friend all my friends could have in their life. Sure I'm still called ugly and fat because I'm looking for true love. But I don't let it bother me, I still continue to be who I am and to live my life up to its fullest. To all the young teens out there, bullying sucks. It hurts inside, but you just gotta rise above the hate. A famous role model John Cena said Rise Above The Hate <3 Any people on here that just needs a friend, come to me. I don't judge no one. :)
