To everyone who has ever put anyone down. The bullies, parents, 'friends'

Let me just say this: Words hurt more than any beating can. I’ve been put down way too many time for my own good. It’s true, I’m not exactly the best person to be around, but I still don’t deserve to be made to feel so horrible about myself. Yes, I like boys too, don’t make me feel as of I’ve murdered someone. Yes, I’m not super brave and macho, don’t call me a wimp. Yes, I can’t study, yes, I can’t be the top scorer in the world, don’t make me feel so inferior. I may not he the best looker in the world, there’s no reason to point that out. I may want to dress differently, don’t make me want to strip naked. I may want to show my love for someone in my way, don’t make me regret it. 
Don’t lead people of the cliff. They don’t deserve it, just for being different. You may want to be assertive, you may want to be ‘cool’ around other people, you may think you’re pushing me to be better, you may think it doesn’t hurt. Trust me, it crushes me in and out. I cry into my pillow every night, just because you were trying to be funny, or were just trying to 'help’ me. I lost all faith in myself because of you. I lost my confidence because of you. How does that feel? You still think you’re doing the right thing? Do you still feel cool? Do you still think you’re helping? 
I may not say or show that it hurts because I’m scared. Scared that you’ll see just how vulnerable I am. Scared that you’ll hit where I’m weak. I’ve thought of killing myself because you made me feel like that was the best option. I hurt myself to make the physical pain mask my emotional pain that YOU caused . Stop, please.
