Writer's Block: Anti-bullying month

This awful boy who used to throw food at me, call me names, make fun of me, and push me at the bus stop in high school and middle school. He did this every day. He'd also run by and pound on our front door for no reason and then run away. Finally my dad had to stand out at the bus stop with me each morning so the kid would leave me alone. :( It probably looked a bit odd for a 15 year old to be standing outside with her dad but that's the only way I could get on the bus without being bullied.
The reason he did it? Because we were both Black but he and the other neighborhood kids decided that I acted too White. They said I dressed like a White person, spoke like a White person, acted like a White person and they hated me for it. :/ How freakin' stupid is that?!
