I think everyone has some sort of ego in there, just some have it more than others which may, or may not be to their favour. Everyone I seem to talk to don't have a medium ego, they either have a high and mighty one, or one which could just stamp on it on the floor by accident because of how miniature it is. In the end though, I always have a bigger one either way of their ego size sometimes, even both put together. I do think highly of myself quite often but in the past, my ego was one of those on the floor ready to be squashed. The reason of this was when I move to high school, I was bullied. Because of the verbal bulling the other teenagers used to put me though, I never thought I was good enough like I did in my primary and this made me quite depressed, enough to make me cry on a night and I was, and still am, not an easy person to make shed a few tears. I refused to tell my parents who were, of course, worried sick for me but when I did the school arranged for me to go to a private area of the school where I could talk to an adult about any troubles and be given tips to boost my low confidence. There was other people who too had problems with this type of thing, and this is actually was when I finally started to make friends and realise I was a brilliant person.
By the time I became fourteen, I was almost fully back to the person I was before the time I had been verbally abused by others. I can't ever be fully the person I was at ten or eleven; I'm now much more quiet than outgoing, so I did have a chip in my ego, but heck, it's still massive. I'm just mostly glad I went through the experience of having a low-esteem at such a young age as, if it happens in the future, I can look back and know not to make the same mistake of thinking down of myself. Instead, I can brag that I am different.
