OMG I will punch out whoever called her ugly. :v

This picture is adorable, but so sad. I was bullied in school too.

no ones ugly others just need someone to put down to make them feel better because they have issues themselves. <--- personal opinion

awwwwr thats so pitiful :c kind of like a dog after a bath

*shares lunch with* c:

Whoever called her ugly is going to die at my hand. She is to cute to be ugly.

;~; Not ugly. Not ugly at all.

D: Kids can be cruel

asdfghjkl;'

;0; She's sooooo not ugly ohman.

Nonono, you're cute.

I know the feeling of being bullied.
Elementary, Middle School and my Freshmen Year of high School. (Middle School being the worst.)

Yeah Children can be unbearably cruel.

Adorable pic.
Makes me wanna give her a hug. :(

As untrue as something like an insult may be, if it's said to you often enough...you might begin to believe it.

Poor little Neko. Kids can be little monsters sometimes, especially if you tend to be a bit shy or sensitive. Her expression is really wonderfully done, though.

Dawww...

I hate kids like that. I got that also only, I was a pale white ginger kid with glasses. But then I hit highschool and everyone wanted me D:<

Damn you genetics.

no, you're beautiful dear

Awww! ....this brings back mimories of my school days....But hey us wo were made fun of growing up become artists and rule the world! hehe

ffff more adorable?!

yeah, I found them to be that way too but, in another way I just excluded alot cause of the wheelchair thing but, only thought I'd share but anyway I gotta say very cute pic and, say i hate that anyone ever gets bullied

HNNNNNNGG LEAVE MY HEART-STRINGS ALONE XD

You are beautiful and not I'm not going to sing the song.

I will beat them up, take their snacks, and we can share them. :3
I was bullied when younger, I think that is why I have such a spine now. I don't take shit from no one now. XP

Bullying made me worse. Or at least, that's what we think happened to me. When I was young, I was so social and friendly. I was the kid that would grab the hand of the new kid and bring them to play when no one else would. Apparently, I was the sweetest thing ever and wasn't shy at all.

Then, that changed all of a sudden, I became anti social, grumpy and had a real bad temper. I didn't want to talk to anyone and I have such bad insecurities about things, that my mom is actually shocked sometimes. I don't know why I changed, I just know that it must have been around the time I first started getting bullied by the girls are school. Thats when my weight started going way up too.

My mom was also a big influence to the way I act. She doesn't give 2 shits with what other people think, if your wrong she'll tell you to your face. (Within reasonable circumstances/situations) She also has the wit and tact to be more firm, or discrete about things. I admire that and think a lot more people should stand up for themselves.

My mom is like, in the middle? She does stick up for herself and has taught us that too, but she also taught us to be really, really nice.

I was already shy as a kid.
Also a reader.
That made me into a huge target so it just made me worse.
Mostly I was anti-social and avoided other kids.
Stuck with a small core of friends until my family had the brilliant idea of having me switch schools in the middle of the winter in the fifth grade.

So I went from being shy and anti-social but with a small cadre of pals.
To literally alone and with zero friends and not near enough time to make any by the time I got into middle school.
So yeah....

I kinda wish I was that little girl again :<

Though, don't get me wrong, I partly like being shy. I actually think it's very cute. I'm just way overboard. A good middle between what I was and what I am now would be great.

Socially awkward is in right now, so don't change. ;3

Haha ya, but I have way other problems I may not have mentioned to you just yet. I just wish I were more friendly!

You seem perfect to me. <3

Yaaaa, but you dont know me in real life lol Though your grumpy yourself, so of course youd like me lol

Her pose and expression make me wanna cry! :(

Oof then I saw the face of the one who called her ugly. Talk about mirror-crackingly paper-bag-wearingly rest-of-family-name-changingly ugly! No wonder they're being like that. The best defense is a good offense.

I learned the hard way to not copy anyones style. You should be looking at tons of different styles, taking pieces until you mold something of your own.

I've been there before :( Junior High and high school weren't exactly the best years of my life.

My Middle-School was hell.
Made worse for me becuase I had no friends period becuase my parents had the great idea of transfering me to another school half-way through my Fifth grade year just becuase.

So yeah...Voracious Reader.
Quiet.
Shy.
Intelligent.

Perfect Target.
I had to deal with people pulling chairs out from beneath me, ramming my head agaisnt the bathroom wall,pushing verbal bullying and throwing away my things and once putting me in a headlock and throwing me into a row of lockers becuase I didn't want to move from the bench I was at.

I wound up locking myself in the library every chance I got becuase those Librarians did not take kindly to that shit.
I did manage to become a Student Assistant and work there in Eighth Grade....But yeah three years of pratically uniterrupted hell and harrasment.

I was picked on when I was younger, but all it really did was make me more self conscious, not more brave or anything, unfortunately lol

I do love the expression, though, may I ask what's in her hand? It might be really obvious, but I can't seem to tell :<

Her hair clips c:

Oooh, cute idea! I always lose those because I play with them c:

Awwww, such a sad picture! Very nice work as always though -- I really enjoy that you draw such a wide range of emotions with your characters, it makes them interesting and makes them more 'real' to me. Happy pictures are always nice, and smiling characters that are having fun are enjoyable to look at, but for me it's the pictures that touch your soul and makes your heart go out to a character on paper that can be the most powerful.

And OMG little Neko is too cute!

The kids at my school rarely had the guts to bully someone in front of their face. Full of cowards. For the latter part of 7th grade I was bullied by one girl every day, she made big scenes and would insult and start fights with me. I put up with it, until one day she had the nerve to slap me in the back of the head while I was watching a basketball game. I nailed her in the jaw, and she actually has been really really nice to me since then. :P I've learned to love myself, appreciate what I've got and how I am, change the things I don't like and cherish my talents. I've found that a lot more people are readily nice to me now that I can appreciate my advantages instead of sulking around about my downfalls, but that doesn't stop everyone from bullying. It's a rule of life that there's always going to be someone who finds something wrong with you. Too skinny, too fat, odd shaped, bad hairstyle, too nice, too mean, annoying. Bullying will always exist because there's people who feel the need to speak their minds about stuff that doesn't need to be spoken. I actually had a girl give a speech, on a podium, from a piece of paper, on the reasons why she hated me in class. Not disliked, hated. I wasn't in the class, but I heard from several people of the happening. That girl has since then been arrested twice in school and dropped out finally.

The people who do the bullying will always get what's coming to them, whether it be immediately or later in life. Bad people don't have good lives.

My school rarely had anything "big" happen. Small french school where everything is english and we all knew each other for years. So mostly, you'd get bullied by words. Still bad, of course, but different then physical.

My sister would get beaten by a girl in school and the school said there's nothing you can do. Course, my mom was appalled at that. My aunt has tons of sons, so she told my mom "bring your daughter over for a week". And for that whole week, the boys pushed her around to teach her how to fight. So when she went back to school and that girl started again, my sis punched her in the face.

The principal told my mom that she would be suspended for a week. My mom said "And during that whole week I will cuddle her, give her treats and love her because she stood up for herself".

I remember your journal about that, it's horrible :<

Someone calls you ugly I will stick their head in a toilet and flush. Character is cute as heck!

Made me cry remembering when I was bullied. Wonderful pic though.

your ability to capture emotion is just incredible... it really is

That's so sad

I think everyone has been bullied at school at some point in their lives. I got bullied pretty bad back when I was public school:/ 1st through 4th grade before I finally got to go to a school for kids diagnosed with autism. Things did get better for me after that, but I was pretty anti social for my first week there. I talked to the teachers when they addressed me or I had a question, but whenever any other kids tried to talk to me, I'd just get scared then run off and hide somewhere. It drove people crazy XD.

No silly, you're cute.

awww i was teased a whole lot too :c
It's been many years but it still brings me to tears sometimes D:

Loves ur at

D: you're not ugly! mean people are mean...
