Hello, my name is, Alexis Smith. I'm 17 years old and I'm from Chicago. I have been a vicitim of bullying for years, I still am. But I have also been a bully myself! I'm extrmely ashamed of my actions, I wish I could take all I said and done back but I can't. So the next best thing to do is  apologize once again to people who I have hurt and share my story with hey ugly allowing people to learn from my mistake. Due to the fact that I was bullied I thought if bullied people it would people that I was tough and they would final stop bullying me. As I got older I realized that bullying doesn't solve the problem.

I bullied two of my friends, I know its weird and shocking. My friend who I will call Amy called me but I told her I can't talk at the monent and I would call her back. Two hours later, I called Amy back and she said "I don't want to talk to you." I said" Fine, you're a bitch and thats why you were adopted because your real mom didn't want you." After that, Amy and I didn't talk for a month. One day, I called Amy and apoloized. She accepted my apology and we became friends again. I invited her over my house for sleepovers and a barbaque. Amy and her family took me rock climbing, to resturants,to the movies and Six Flags. I was very thankful and lucky that I didn't lose such a good friend like Amy.

My other friend who I will call Kim is my best friend. It was Kim's 16th birthday party. Kim told me her sister was going to pick me up from my house and take me to her house where the party was. The day of the party I got ready and I had Kim's gifts wrapped. Kim's sister waited until the last minute to text me from Amy's cell and said "I'm sorry but I can't pick you up." I was so angry,hurt, and more importantly confused. Hours into the party, Kim texted me and said"  Alexis, I'm sorry!" I said "Kim, I  don't care what you have to say and if you don't stop text I will tell everyone we know that you have a disease." " Don't ever talk to me again!" Kim said" No, no please, I will do anything for you!" I didn't texted black. im Kim and I didn'rttalk for 3 months, She would call my house but I wouldn't pick up. I don't know what came over me but one day when Kim called I picked up and we apologized to each other. Our friendship is stronger now than ever because of what happened. I never told anyone about Kim's disease but If I did it would have ruined her life! Looking back on both soutions I could have acted much more responible. Theese soutions could have turned out much more differently, I didn't have to have a happy ending, I just wanted to say to I am deeply sorry from the bottom of my heart to Amy and Kim!
