Sticking up for yourself.

So, I am in 5th grade now and this is kinda still happening, some kids have been being jerks to me and bullying me mentally, so I’ve been in a bad mood. But when I involved the principal, some of the kids stopped, but most of them tried to hide the fact they bullied me.I feel better about myself because after all that, I let out my feelings and told them that they were being COMPLETE JERKS. Now they leave me alone if I’m not near them.
