It started in 5th grade, I was the new kid. There was this girl who was really tall she randomly came up to me and told me to come with her to a big group of people. She led me to the middle and slapped me across the face. A handprint was left on the right side of my face. She luckily got in trouble, but this was just the beginning. She got worse, some of her favorite things to do were spread rumors, punch me, kick me, and push me down. Finally one day when she had knocked my books out of my hands on the floor and was kicking me, a girl who had been watching from the beginning said something. She helped me pick up my books and helped me to my feet. We then right then and there became best friends. She was the only one who was there for me. I finally had a friend, she helped me get help and out of depression. Now i’m very happy in life and i moved away. That girl is my best friend and she will forever will be.

The Past

When I was a kid, I would always be quiet, and not talk to anyone. But later I got to know a few people and they really helped me with my situation. But then a few days later they turned their back on me because I was different, and they got mad and called me names, so when I went to school the next day I got jumped by four of them and they busted my head open. I still have the scar but it’s hard to see because it’s in my hair, and ever since then I can’t trust nobody because of it. So now I want in on this group so I don’t have to see anyone go through the same thing I did

You’re Not Alone
Anonymous

All my life I’ve always felt less-than because that’s how my bullies made me feel. Every time I’d look in the mirror, I hated what I saw. I tried so hard to fit in. To stop all the "you’re ugly" "you’re fat" "ew". I started ditching class with the cool kids to be excepted. I started wearing clothes that got me dress-coded to look "hot". I started to not do my homework to be "cool". I wasn’t being who I was. And the harder I tried the harder life was. I woke up with puffy eyes from crying myself to sleep. Until, I met some amazing people. They were kind to me, they appreciated me for who I was, they didn’t even notice my flaws. Those are the people you have to be with. I know how it feels, I care. You’re not alone.

kindergartener on the bus
Lydia
Age 6

On the first day of school, I sat by my big brother. An older girl switched seats and sat by me. I didn’t want her to sit by me but she did. She pinched me. Ouch! A few weeks later, she sat by me again like she always did. She pinched me so hard that it left a bruise. My mom saw the bruise. My brother was sick the next day so I cried about having to ride the bus. I felt scared. Then my teacher said that my mom was going to pick me up. We went inside the building and I told my teacher what was happening on the bus. My teacher helped me stay safe. I still think about it. I learned it was bullying and it’s okay to tell an adult.

It’s not my fault

It was 2nd grade my mom was ill and she was in the hospital for 3 months. My dad left me when I was born so I had no one to look after me. Until my grandma kept me.then my aunt. but I missed her a lot so when I went to school I said nothing and I was mostly crying non stop. Kids were laughing at me because they thought that I was a cry baby. Eventually my mom got out of the hospital. She had a boy during her visit. Then I had a brother, but that didn’t go well. My brother was sick because my mom had been sick and he was in the NICU ( baby hospital ) for 3 weeks. He couldn’t breathe when he got out of my moms stomach. Then when I got to school people were making me feel bad when they said" your brothers gonna die" over and over. and to this day in middle school I’m still bullied but I can only say this, don’t let people get in your head because something about you or some issues you might have about your life at that moment.

There was a girl that bullied me for two years. It felt like nothing was going to change, but one day for the first time I had enough! I stood up for myself and she finally stopped for a while. Then she did it again, my friends saw how upset I was and told an aldult. And that was the end she stopped for good!
