Growing up I was very small and I still am but I used to be really tiny and people would take advantage of that and it hurt. I was mentally, physically, and emotionally abused by those people who was the same age as me, isn’t that crazy I was quiet because whenever i spoke up i was annoying i, i eventually learned to show them that they don’t matter to me and it worked for a little bit they started to feel embarrassed at the fact that i made them look dumb for trying to talk me down. keep in mind that this is when i first arrived to my elementary school. and I was in the first grade i soon became friends with my now best friend and created a nice friend group and I was finally getting along now everything was perfect and going up to after COVID we are now in the sixth grade and i´ve decided to go into the building and learn there and the bullying started again with the same people and it started with little stuff like being made fun of for participating in activities like career day but I held my ground because my bestie and friends reminded me of my worth and things have been great from there. I am now in ninth grade with my bestie for now 9 years and I am still small and yes I still have problems with my height but that does not stop me from soaring. So just remember your worth is greater than anything and people is only mean because they are insecure too.

It was freshman year, I had many friends and was in this friend group. There were about 6 or 7 girls in it. We always had sleepovers or fun little hangouts. Every time we hung out it was like the best days of my life. In the middle of freshman year, I was having a sleepover with my friend group and we were making stupid poses. I was wearing a stupid outfit. One of the girls took a photo of me and posted it online. It wasn’t the fact that I was wearing a stupid outfit that bothered me. I didn’t have a jawline. My friend posted the picture of my double chin and when I asked her to delete it, she did. I was fine for a couple of days until that picture was printed on my locker. Somebody had screenshotted it. I was bullied so badly that I stopped eating and working out a ton. Cyber bullying is real and effects many.

I never wanted to talk to any one anymore , I was sick and traumatized , I was lost I didn’t know who I was after that . I was betrayed.

when I was in third grade I had a girl and a boy in my school they were brother and sisters they were the rudest to me. I have been with them for 6 years now and this year they are the worst. three days ago the girl kept hitting my bookbag and I was getting annoyed. now I have a counselor she protects me from anything. always know you are one in a Million.

When I was in JK and SK I was bullied by these girls who thought they were better than me I guess. They would make faces at me as they passed me in the class and would tell the teacher that I did stuff I didn’t do to get me in trouble. Eventually she realised what was happening and told them off, but when she left and another teacher came, they started doing it again. I left the school soon after and I barely remember it anyway after so many years, but it still stays in my heart.

my middle school bully storys
Anonymous

when I was younger in middle and elementary school I would be picked on because I had a lazy eye. so the kids that I thought were my friends, when they found out they would constantly pick with me and talk about how ugly, and slow, and cockeyed I was. as I got older I tried to wear glasses or anything to not make it noticeable but when others found out they talked about me behind my back and told everyone about my flaw. this got in the way of me having friends and partners because everyone was so disgusted with me .

My bullying story….

When I was in third grade I used to get bullied for no reason. I had decided to take up for myself because it was time where I wanted to harm myself due to that.

Bullied Everywhere

In 4th Grade I was bullied in school by a teacher and two other students. Although it didn’t last long I felt awful about it because I had thought I was able to trust those people prior to this. Not only that, I was also bullied by others in an academy for more than three years. I was bullied by teachers and students for the most ridiculous reasons and now I can barely trust anyone.

bullied by my own cousin.

i had gone to online school after covid for 4th and 5th grade, for 6th grade i had decided to go back to in person. my first few days of middle school was okay, i had a huge group of friends and my older cousin had gotten along better with me. i had a best friend that did absolutely everything with me, until my cousin had gotten mad at something i said to her. my cousin had gotten 2 of her friends plus herself to try and jump me. they did everything they could do make my time in middle school terrible, my family went into the school many times and never once did the principal do anything about it. for the second semester of 6th grade i stopped going. i disappeared from everyone, i started doing online and i dropped out of my sports to focus on myself. my big “friend” group stopped talking to me and practically forgot about me. me and my “best friend” aren’t friends anymore either. the two girls that bullied me with my cousin kept checking in on me and making sure i was okay. I’m thinking on returning back to in person for my last years of school.
