An additional result of bullying, I also developed a dietary disorder.

Like many girls I know, my harassment began in the 6th grade. Incessantly taunted not only for being a “slut” (though even currently I’ve never had any close contact with a boy) but also a “homo,” “faggot,” and “lesbian bitch” because of my short hair, my self-esteem endured a hard plummet. I was admitted into a governmental health facility for emotional rehabilitation that included therapy sessions and medication. An additional result of bullying, I also developed a dietary disorder. Recently, though, I’ve begun to gain a reputation for my intelligence rather than my tomboyish style and sexual involvement (though nonexistent). Though I felt defenseless and overwhelmed by the sexual harassment that occurred at the time, I gradually overcame its harshness to redeem my confidence and intellectual reputation, something that I’m very proud of.
