Feeling like a Freak

Well everyone in some time of their life have felt like Freak. Some more than others, but everyone has felt it and witnessed it in some part of their life. There have been times when I have felt like a freak myself. For example: I used to play soccer when i was little. The event I'm about to tell you about happened when i was about 5 years old. We were having one of our games, and that day I played goalie. I wasn't a very good goalie, in fact, i didn't even like soccer. I just did it because Dylan did. So during the games I would get real bored. Same when I was goalie. I was getting really bored. So I was picking flowers and playing with butterflies and such. Whenever the ball came near the net, i never had enough time to catch it before it went in because i was distracted. And even when i wasn't distracted, i still didn't catch the ball, i would just flinch because I though it was going to hit me. So that day i never caught the ball. So after the game all of the other 5 year olds on my team came up and started calling me names like 

"stupid" (which hurt my feelings when i was little) and yelling at me because i never caught the ball. They made me very sad. After that season I decided to never play soccer again!

I have witnessed things like this a lot at school. People have made fun of people for their hobbies, looks, friends, clothes, family life, etc. The list can go on for a while. I have been around friends who get called names a lot. I can just see the look in their face after they have been offended, and I can just feel their pain. It makes you feel like sad, and embarrassed and it makes those people feel self conscience. For example, if somebody makes fun if your clothes, and you thought that they were very stylish, it makes you feel like, does everybody think this about me? And sometimes the people change themselves so the won't be made fun of. Like the person who was made fun of their clothes, they would go and get new clothes that they don't enjoy wearing, or are uncomfortable in.  

Although I have witnessed this, I know I have caused this pain sometimes throughout the years. But after I do it, and I see that pain in their eyes, I feel really bad and I end up regretting it. So I can't even imagine what Freak gets called, and how self conscience he is about himself. That is why it is important to have a true friend. Like Mighty will end up being to Freak. :D
