It's national anti bullying month so I thought I would share my story just a little. Here goes nothing. I was born a light skinned girl with strawberry blonde hair, and platinum blonde hair mixed together. I was covered in platinum blonde hair all over my body with hazel eyes and a positive mindset on life. I didn't think I was different until the third grade when kids started pointing out the fact that my complexion didn't 'match' my ethnicity. I was too light to be African American they said. It continued until I graduated high school. No one wanted to admit that they were wrong. People wanted me to admit I was wrong which meant me disowning my race. I couldn't do that. Now at 22, I realized that I gave people too much power over my self esteem. I realized that I wasn't so different after all, more like a new breed.
