Goals - Personal Essay

I it hurts inside to know that person do not like me or that person talked about me. I really wish people would find the time to get to know me instead of what they heard. Most days when I get home I cry knowing someone was saying mean things to my face. I try to be strong, but every time I do someone knocks me down. I don't understand why anyone would pick at someone just to be funny. I guess they do not know deep down inside it hurting the person greatly.
