I'm Amber Arnold and in grade 3
I got bullied because my mum used to put videos of me singing on YouTube.
and they would mimic me and tease me about it.
And that hurt but my family and friends and writing a song helped me get through that.
I guess I was kinda just letting out all of my emotions
on to the page, then I kind of just mixed up all the words
I was nine at the time
and getting through it was pretty tough but I did
and now people still sometimes tease me about it, but it doesn't really matter anymore.
I was recently on the news for Free You Be You
and I paused a bit when I was interviewed, because I was nervous,
and some girls at school were like mimicking me and saying stuff about it.
It made me feel depressed because that's what I'm trying to stop.
The advice I would give to anybody who's being bullied is
to not let what other people say hurt you or bring you down,
know that there are other people there for you and just believe in yourself.
And Free You Be You.
