When I was in my craetive writing class last year I wrote these journalism/memoir essays about middle school bullying. My teacher loved it and insisted I use it as my essay for my application to my school’s peer counseling program. But…it depends on the way you write it…talk about how it affected you, how it made you stronger, and how it helped who you are now. Don’t whine…don’t act like victim-ish…it’s all about how you work your writing
good luck
can i ask what the topic is??? And where you’re applying to? (PM?) It’s important to also consider the college, how intimate/impersonal/conservative//liberal/religious/etc they are because that could affect what kind of essay topics they value.
