If you were to write a personal narrative about something that shaped you as a person, what would you write about? (highschool freshman) i was going to write about getting bullied, but i'm not sure if its appropriate. ? and if i do write about it, how should i start?

Writing about being bullied is perfectly appropriate, so long as it approached in the correct manner. If you choose to use this as your topic, you should start by describing a particularly bad time you were bullied. Use dialogue, showing not telling, and imagery. You want this scene to be your attention getter, so make the bullies sound as mean and threatening as possible, and make sure to make it clear how you were feeling at the time.
