My name is Nikolle and i want to share how i started listening to Black Veil Brides and how they changed my life. When i was younger i used to get bullied a lot. Kids used to call me fat, ugly, waste of space, emo and some other name i do not wish to share. They would also physically abuse me after school and in the halls at school when no teacher was around. Do to this torture i was put through everyday i actually started to believe their words comments. I thought no one cared about me so i started cutting my wrists. This went on for a couple of months. One night i was searching youtube for something to listen to and came across this band. It seamed good so i started listening. The song was Savior. I must tell you i haven't cried since the bullying started, so to say this song means a lot to me is an understatement because it made me cry for the first time in years. I soon became addicted to the band, like my own personal drug. One day while i was at the park sitting on the monkey bars with my earbuds in the personal hell walked up to me. She started saying crap about how i was emo and should just go die because no one cared about me and would be relieved if i died. I started thinking she was right but then Unbroken came blasting through my earbuds. I suddenly got the courage to tell her off and i did but i also punched her. The next day i was called into the principle's office. I was confused when she said i need to appoligize to my personal hell. She said it was 'cause I was bulling HER! i flat out refused to do so and walked out of the office.  I didn't come back until the next day but not without some new scars. I was cornered but the same bi*ch who was bulling me. Started saying she saw my scars saying i should make the final cut and end my pathetic life. I was beyond mad and didn't care if any teachers and students watched, i pulled up my sleeves and yelled that it was her fault i had scars. If she hadn't made my life a living nightmare i wouldn't Have to cut to get relief in my life and i listen to the stuff i do because it help me believe im not the only one. Everyone in the hall had cleared out and it was just me, her and the teachers. They took us to the office again. I couldn't stop smiling to myself, i had fnally done it, i stood up for myself. The next day a girl and boy dressed similar to me walked up and introduced themselves. We talked about our experiences and actually bacame good friends. They are still trying to help me stop the cutting though. People do still bully me but i have learned to try to ignore it but sometimes the things they say break through my walls. I am currently working to get over my depression and suicidal thoughts. I do hope one day i can meet the band that saved my life because i really do want to thank them.
