Ever since secondary students had always bullied me because I was from another town and I speak differently from the way they speak. They always make fun of how I speak. Of course, it hurts but I have to endure the pain coz I have no one to rely on at that time.

I was a working student when I was in high school. I had to live in my Aunt's house away from my parents' place. I live in Maribojoc another town in Bohol just 16.7 km away from my town. My aunt enrolled me in a Catholic School. It's a private school. It is part of BACS(Bohol Association of Catholic Schools). I don't have any relatives in that school. I was the only one who came from my town. And most of them is a native residents of Maribojoc.

Bullied because of my height

Since I am a short type of person. Literally short but not a dwarf one LOL. When I was in my first year in high school I don't look like a high school student coz I am more like an elementary student. There was a time that I and my classmate were strolling around the supermarket a Man suddenly ask me, Hoy day estudyante ka sa SVI(Saint Vincent Institute -the name of our school). (Hey girl, are you a student of SVI?)Imagine SVI is only for high school students and I was wearing our school uniforms isn't that obvious that I am studying in SVI? I honestly don't know how to react to that certain question. Pero alam niyo dati na akong blunt na tao so I answer him saying "Obvious ba kuya,naka SVI uniform baja ko alang sad ug sa Santa Cruz(an elementary school near our school) ko nagskwela.Naa ba diay elementary sa SVI?(Isn't that obvious, I am wearing an SVI uniform, you thought I am Santa Cruz Elementary school? Is there an elementary in SVI?

Another incident of bullying or I don't know if the dispatcher intentionally does it but when I was about to take a bus going to Maribojoc the dispatcher suddenly call the attention of the other passengers asking who will pay for the fare of the kid. Do you know who he was referring to as a kid? It's me. I was already in first-year high school at that time but as I said people still thought that I am still a kid. I felt embarrassed at that time. He could just ask me directly.

Oh! Alam niyo ba na ang tawag ng mga tao doon sa lugar ng ante ko eh Cute,di dahil cute ang mukha ko kasi di naman talaga cute ang mukha ko kundi Cute ang height ko.Nasanay na rin ako na yun ang tawag nila sa akin.

Being bullied because of my past

I've done a lot of stupid things before. I can't just tell you the exact details about it but it is something I am not proud of. There was a time I was working as a Secretary at a lending company. I am an open book before. Like even if I don't know you well I will share to you my personal life. That's how I am before. I trust so easily. There was a time when a male workmate of mine was teasing me about my past issues. Honestly, it was my fault for telling them about my personal life. I told my workmate to stop teasing me or keep reminding me of my past as it irritates me. But he didn't listen to me so sa galit ko eh nagwala ako sa office namin ,pinagbabasag ko yung mga picture frame ko ,gusto ko lang ilabas yung galit ko ,ganyan ako magalit dati I want something na mabasag para mahimasmasan ang galit ko.Sabi ko sa workmate ko paano ako makakamove on kung paulit ulit niyang ipaalala sa akin ang aking past. (I make a scene in our office, I was breaking my picture frames, I just wanted to release my anger, that's how I get mad before, I want something to break to take my anger out. I told my workmate how can I move on if he keeps doing it again reminding me of my past.

Ending thoughts

Because of those experiences in life, I learn not to trust so easily and I learn to choose who to share my personal life with.

I also learn to control the way I react to every people's comment to avoid regrets after.Kaya ayaw kong ginagalit ako kasi super sama ko pag nagalit eh.Pinaka ayaw ko yung natitriger yung pinaka bad side ng pagkatao ko kasi I am sure hindi niyo talaga magugustohan yung pag uugali ko pero anyway I am a very kind person,super mabait akong tao sa mga nakakakila sa akin.

About being bullied about my height I already accept that hindi nagtagumpay ang aking mga magulang na palakihin ako kasi hanggang ngayon maliit pa rin ako.Joke.Tawa naman kayo.Ginagawa ko nalang joke yung height ko.
