As teens, we feel obligated by our peers in order to make ourselves look more powerful and more respected. I, as a teen, do admit that I have been bullied because of my culture, my religion, and my thoughts. The emotional war that I fought within myself proved to be a war in which I would not be able to win with the help of someone.

am i going off topic?

You're off-topic if your first sentence is your topic or thesis sentence. However, you could use your experience with being bullied and tie it in with your first sentence.
