My story and who I am now
Heyo! well bullying began for me when I was transferred into a new private school when I was 9 years old. I never felt more introverted and scared of people, because I fit in so well with my past classmates. I spent 4 and a half years of being tormented, harassed and bullied, I never felt more broken. I used to have my stuff taken from me and thrown around the class as I chased for it, I had kids kick me while I wasn’t looking, I was hit and ridiculed by the teachers because I was under-performing due to the fact that I would come home and just watch youtube all day to get away from real life. I wanted an outing, I wanted to go back to my old school. I spent those 4 and a half years unproductively. I would tell the teacher that I was being bullied and she would occasionally yell at the kids and then forget about everything and just leave me be, I was vulnerable.
During those 4 and a half years, I had grown accustomed to hating specific times and associate smells, people, movements, stances to that torment. It was just basically getting through the day for me, I couldn’t even look up from my table because I wanted to avoid the bullies’ eyes. I told my parents and grandparents but the same thing had happened, they would meet the teacher once and tell her and then just leave it. My grades and academics was suffering horribly because of the bullying. My advice is to not focus on the bullying, this will prove difficult but focus on your academics as much as you can! Tell people about your issues, your mental health is very important and push through, you’ll make it!!!
