It's My Life . Body . You Said It

Here's what other kids had to say:

I moved to another state where the peopl talk like hillbillies. I get judged alot about the way I talk because I dont sound like a country bumkin or act like them. Elzabeth Link especially judges me because I'm not like her and she turns everyone against me. I'm tired of being the odd one out and I'm tired of being called "sasquatch", "fat-albert", or even "flat chest". I can't stand it. PLease I need help. What do I do? What do I say? How doI keep from crying myself to sleep every night?

Hey -Rebecca,12. you know what's weird? i dyed my hair black and no one really cares some kids on my 8th period chorus class said "OH I love your hair!' i go to Shaler Area Middle School 7-8th grade. why is it all the kids in public schools are rude mean and just plain hurtful and kids in private schools kids,teens are taught better and are nicer? there's some emo peeps at my school but they have friends and they're not sad they don't harm themselfs at least i think they don't. Ava used to be not emo but now she swears purple and black almost everyday to school her nals are painted black her hair is dyed black and it has purple pink and some other colors in it too. she's nice not sad at all. BYE.

dark skin, eczema that makes my skin look like it has scales all over my legs, and flaky white spots around my mouth and nose and peeling skin all over, and the worst part is my glasses, they make me look like a dork, without them my face looks almost normal, but i have to wear them all the time and I tried contact lenses and they didn't work because I couldn't get them in after months of trying. and I have an accent. A horrible dumb indian accent.and my hair is short and black and so frizzy that it at least quadruples in size. I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I measured it.

--Susan, 13

My friends always ask if I'm going to do a sport next year. I don't like sports and they know that, so I say "I don't know yet." and they won't stop bringing it up. I feel so upset.
--Sara, 11

I am judged sometimes for being a redhead.
--grace, 12

Yes. People say that I'm skinny and a shrimp. My (ex) best friend said it. Surprising huh! Mostly because the jerk had just met me and we were only hangin' out. And trust me! She was the size of Fat Albert! And she was in fourth grade!

People think im black but im not. my mom is dominican and my dad is jamaican but they cant tell that by looking at me. they also think i like rap but i dont;i like pop. it hurts my feelings being judged and sometimes i cry in my room at night because of this.
