Annyaleese Linder is a freshman in high school at IQ Academy, she says she experienced bullying at a younger age. She tells me how it affected her daily life and why she had to get out of that atmosphere.
“It made me really sad and depressed. I was really anxious, the old school that I was going to they gave up on me, they made me feel unsupported and alone.” said Annyaleese
Brittnee Linder-Orocco, Annyaleese’s Parent, said “She was trying to quietly cope with things, but you could tell things were off. She just kind of withdrew, she got quiet, she would stick to herself didn’t want to talk to anybody.”
