She slips in after class, just to be away from them, waiting till the sound of shouting and laughter has subsided, till it's safe to walk home alone


School occupies a strange place in my mind. It wasn't so long ago, but when I look back it seems so blurry. I remember being the weird kid, the awkward girl, who would run around with the boys. I was bullied a lot, sometimes it hurt, but mostly it didn't. I relised people would always judge, and knew it's you who has to be happy with yourself, you shouldn't change to please them; I noticed the things people would tease me about were the things they were insecure about in themselves. The most valuable lessons I learned weren't in the classroom. I got very comfortable with my own company :)
My art teacher told me "Cartoons are not art" so I drew in my spare time and let myself indulge in a world all my own.

This is a two parter drawing.. please expect the next installment soon :) It'll be wallpaper size as well, feel free to use this as your school wallpaper ;) heh

Schools such a strange place, and this girls having a hard time of it... I can certainly relate to feeling trapped there sometimes, for many reasons...
~How is/was it for you?

Edit: Wow, thanks so much for the response on this one guys :heart: I've enjoyed reading about your experiences, all those having a hard time- It will get better! School is temporary. Use the time to better yourself. While I do read all comments it is a tall order replying to hundreds, so I'm sorry if you don't get a personal response from me, but please do know myself and others support you :)

"Cartoons are not art"- that's just stupid..
I actually haven't been picked on that much in school. I've been teased just a bit over petty things, but I usually act pretty calm and get along fine with people..I have friends that are bullied online, though..

I love your art so much! I've been bullied a lot. There's this mean girl that pushes me in to my locker every time I open it so that it closes and I have to unlock it over and over again and it makes me late to all of my classes. She's pushed me down several times and I go home with bruises on my arm but im to quiet and shy to stand up to her

I like all of your art but this is one of my favorites. I'm (currently) in middle school, and it is horrid, I'm a bit of an outcast, mostly because i'm not very social, and cant carry out a conversation well, also i'm a bit, uh , odd.

I am and have always been bullied my entire life. It sucks. Not just words, physically. People ask me why I dont fight back, I sit there, take every punch and hurtful word and still try to show I will not fight. I need someone who will fight for me. But if I see someone else being bullied I will go all out trying to protect them from what Ive endured. Trying to keep these people from being permanently scared like I am. Every day after school I leave after everyone else, after class I always leave last praying I wont be pinned against a wall or locker, pushed down stairs, or punched because I chose not to hang in the popular groups.. School always feels like a trap with no way out. This picture describes how I feel perfectly.
