Hi my name is Natalie and i am 16. I have been bullied since i was in primary school. I was born with a cleft lip and palate so there was always something for people to say to me. The bullying started when i was in Year 3 and carried on till Year 11.

I told my mum and she told my school, the school never did anything and denied they had a bullying problem. Although my family all supported me i felt so alone. I felt like i had nowhere to turn. I was scared to go out or to school, But i went.

The bullying got so bad i felt the only way out was to comit suicide. I had tried before when i was in Year 4, my mum walked in on my hanging myself. This time i took pills. Here is my story...

Once upon a time in a world so cruel,
I was the on that wasn't cool.
You hit me and kicked me and left me to die, Then you pointed and laughed as I started to cry.
I told and told but nothing was done,
You told me you hurt me just for fun.
One night after school I made a choice,
I went to my family and in a scared voice.
I told them I loved them and gave them a kiss, That was one thing I was going to miss.
I said goodnight and went to my room,
I opened my blinds and looked at the moon.
I thought and thought and thought some more, How many should I take, one, two, three or four?
I decided on a number and went to bed,
Knowing in the morning that I would be dead.
Later that night my mum found me there,
She called 999 and told them where,
I woke up in hospital the very next day.
The first thing my family said was I'm glad you're OK!
I';m left with that memory for the rest of my life, I';m not allowed near tablets or even a knife.
You';re not even sorry for what you have done, But in the end I have won.
I'm stronger now for what I've been through, Today I feel like I'm brand new.
I used to feel that I had to hide,
I wish you knew how I felt inside,

I'm just glad I never died.
