We all have been given nickname's by someone in childhood or even when we grew up it is so normal and people think it is funny.
In my case people have crossed all limits being called by a nickname which made me hate myself and forced to stay at home just to avoid it.
It is the weekend and topic's are here - weekly engagement concept by Week 112. I choose to write on this topic.
Do you have a nickname or pet name given to you by someone else? What is it and why were you given it? Or, have you given someone else a nickname that stuck What is it and how did they earn it?
Moved to a new Town
Best friend forever? Nah, i only had temporary friends who made my childhood day's miserable.
I was Good at making friends when i was just a kid and started making new friends in new town.
Going out to play everyday with friends and the life was going so Good in new town until i meet a guy.
He was a landlord himself because of his rich dad owns the most land in the town.
As usual, i was playing and he or his gang came from nowhere. started questioning random stuff in a rude way. I denied, he got mad at me and made fun of my tanned skin calling me "Black".
I was like where it comes from? He himself was chubby but i didn't made fun of him though stayed quite and moved back.
Later, he made me famous giving me nickname "Blackberry" in the town just to take revenge for literally no reason.
My reaction when people started bullying me
It was already gone too far now everyone was calling me with that nickname. Even people didn't knew my real name but know me by Nickname
I have no idea they're Being Racist although my skin is brownish but society made me started hating myself cause of being bullied for my looks.
I got bullied by kid's or old uncles, so at the end what i got?
it made me depressed, Hate's me to see myself in mirror. Started to hate taking picture of me, unable to take picture with someone.
Why? Because I've been called with the nickname that leaves a mark in my heart and mind
They've always told me from the start that you're ugly, so ugly. Now I'm 18 and mature person but these thing's hurts me coz I've lost my self confidence.
Believe me or not, i always feared about someone will call me with that nickname when I'm in school, never told my school friends where i live just because of how badly i felt and bullied the whole time.
Not once, i remember when i was a kid my mom always told me not to make fun of someone's name or colour or religion.
Even if i have given someone a nickname that would be unique so the person don't mind but say its cute.
People should normalise listening to other's how they feel or getting hurt intentionally or unintentionally at my time there was no one who supported me it was only me standing alone and till i was in that town my life was like nothing more than living in a hell.
Bullying or harassing is too normal and children's are getting hurt they don't tell their parents and just like my mother taught me to be polite and don't make fun of anyone name or colour or race, religion. I will do same after becoming parent so no one have to go through same as i went.
I hope you understand my point of view. Didn't thought I'll be able to write on this topic as it isn't easy to describe but somehow i did it.
Have a wonderful & blessed weekend ahead to all readers and also you can participate in the hive engagement concept writing prompt here. Would love to read more entries as topics are quite interesting this time.
