Summer vacation got me confident

I've always been the "weird kid" in school and I get bullied. Nothing physical tho. Since years I've been walking into my classroom, aware of the fact, that everyone exept for my best friend hates/dislikes me there. And it feels terrible. But during the summer Vacation (thats 6 weeks long in my country), I thought about myself a lot and I came to the conclusion, that its not my fault, that they have nothing better to do, than to mock everything I do. I built up Confidence. Today was the second day of school, and I didnt care about their looks and stupid comments (I'm alternative btw). I just sat there being comfortable with myself and it doesn't hurt anymore. Their giggling, pointing and talking underneath their breath doesn't hurt anymore. I'm proud of myself:)
