I'm getting bullied in school for being myself.

I've been a Satanist since May of this year because the religion has always been interesting to me and I want to practice it. Theistic Satanism has more of an appeal to me, to be more exact.

My whole class knows I'm a Satanist. I first told my friends, which after an argument it spread along the class and school, but do I really care? I've been wearing a pentagram necklace I DIY-ed for weeks before the argument with my friend (who I'm now on good terms on), and I did tell one of my classmates in the summer that I believe in Satan, and that's how it spread even further, to the point kids stared yelling after me on the street, but I usually laugh it off when it happens.

I started 7th grade two weeks ago, and since the day we just went there to get our books and backpacks that the Town Hall provided I was already getting comments on being "emo". Does that bother me? Not really. I just don't like that they watered emo to be a slur around my town.

Two Thursdays ago, two of my girl classmates wrote some really mean shit on my desk, and I remember all that they wrote btw, but they also repeatedly made jokes about praying to God and made jokes about my sexuality.

I was called an attention seeker, a satanist (true), emo (half true since I've been really interested in emo and scene culture), that I cvt myself (I used to but I've been clean for a good while), and I've been told to repent. I've also been told through my friend that I should go deeper and put salt on the wound.

I don't really want to go into one of the girls personal lives, but she has also dealt with SH. And telling me to go deeper and put salt on it just because I chose to practice another religion is fucked up.

What they say doesn't really affect me. Its only very annoying that they think they're so cool for doing it. Trust me, you're not cool for bullying people wanting to do what they want with THEIR LIVES.
