Middle School English

It was the worst day of my life. The biggest bully in seventh grade punched me, and everybody at school ignored my existence—I felt invisible. Then I ditched class and was caught by the principal. And when I finally had the courage to tell my parents that my brother also bullies me at home, they said I was exaggerating. Really? I’m Louie Pickle, and my twisted life in middle school has been more gut-wrenching than my friends and I could’ve ever imagined. We’ve been teased, picked on, and punched for words we can't read and foods we can’t eat, which is why I’m writing this story.
