hello, my name is K, in my story I was kicked, punched, and more by people, I used to get told that I was fine and just to go back to class by the administrator, I have stopped other people from getting hurt by bullies, but no one has stopped people from bullying me, no matter I do to try and help other people, I don’t get help back. I try my best to let people do it and just ignore them, but it doesn’t work, I’m very different I do like to have fun, and talk to my friends and all, but I’m usually a quiet person and don’t really talk, my friends say it’s weird that I don’t talk very much cause when I was younger that’s mostly all I did. It’s different now though. I usually just let people talk about me, but at this point it’s gotten really bad to the point to where when I walk outside to go to my bus, people start throwing stuff at me, I’ve had a whole book bag thrown at me before. I usually just let it happen, but it’s not a good thing to just let someone bully you or hurt you, don’t do what I do, because I hurt myself way too many times, you start to think “why am I doing this? what’s wrong me? why am I happy that I did it?” you do not want to know how I feel, I’ve had so much stuff happen to me before in the past, and if it’s happening to you, don’t let them bring you down, you be you no matter what. If someone tries to hurt you yell for a teacher or someone, if no one answers, keep yelling until someone does, and if it gets worse and worse, run away and find someone and tell me, everytime i’m bullied it makes me want to self-harm even more, i’m 13, and i’m still here, I stay alive because I can fight to stay alive, and that’s what you should do too. no matter what happens, stay alive and be yourself.

“How’s The Weather Down There?”
Anonymous

Hi. My name is C. I am in 8th grade. Anyway, sometimes school can be hard. I already deal with anxiety. I’ve been teased for my whole life. Especially my height. “How’s the weather down there?” or, “Why are you so short?” Some questions I can handle. But, then they keep coming back. Over, and over, and over again. It sucks. I am still dealing with the people who tell me stuff like that. But, I can take it. I’m strong not a wimp. Tell them, “Hey, back off!” I’m short because I’m short. So deal with it. You can step up too. BULLIES BACK OFF!

It all started when I was in Kindergarten. I don’t remember much because I was so young but from what i was told it started out with just one girl excluding me and making fun of me but by the end of the year everyone was against me. I have tourettes so they would make fun of my tics and a lot of other things just because i was different. It lasted all the way until 6th grade. I switched schools 7th grade year. But 5th grade was the worst of it. Throughout the year i would be spit on, kicked, hit, i even had one girl throw rocks at me. When my parents told the school board i was told to get a thicker skin. I came home everyday wondering what was wrong with me, why wasn’t i good enough?

I had enough of it. I was home schooled for half of my 7th grade year but i wanted to be around people and make actual friends so half way through my 7th grade year i moved schools. I am 13 and in 8th grade now. I still have long-term affects from everything like depression and anxiety, but it isn’t as bad as it used to be. As for my tourettes, it gets worse when im anxious but when i’m calm it’s almost like i don’t have it, so nobody really notices or cares. I fit in now. I’m happy.

people would spread rumors about me and make fun of my physical features, it was hard to tell secrets because when i told a secret to a friend one time, it spread and it turned into a joke.

Bullied By My Friend
Anonymous

I met this cool guy in 5th grade. He was great! I got to know him and developed to my best friend. Then 6th grade came around. He was ignorant, acted cool in front of friends and gained way too much of a ego. Repetitive verbal bullying. Nicest guy ever one day, the next my worst enemy.

Run Away
Anonymous

I was going to this dance school and I was bullied a lot. The girls spread rumors and talked behind by back. Then there was this one girl (i’m going to call her K). K was the worst but she got caught by my friend and i yelled at her over everything. People stopped and started to be “nice” but they still did it quietly and it led to my depression. It has been a year since that and I am at a new dance school where i feel like they are my family. I promise that it will get better.

When I was 7 a kid bullied me every day for like two months, he would call me names and rarely hit me. My parents did not think I was being bullied.

hello, my name is K, I am a quiet person mostly, but I get bullied a lot, and I used to harm myself a lot, my mom found out once and took me to the hospital, but it didn’t help, ever since that I still get bullied, I tell my mom but she just tells me to try and just ignore them. I don’t think I can though, because I have tried many times before but it didn’t work, so I just go with it at this point. I get bullied because I’m bisexual. I’m not very confident in myself tho, if other people call me ugly I always say “yeah i know, i’m sorry.” I try to make myself feel better but I can’t I try to do a lot of stuff, but it doesn’t work very well,  but, if anyone tries to tell you that you’re not beautiful, you’re not smart, don’t listen to them, listen to yourself, and if you yourself think you’re not beautiful bring your happiness up, don’t let anyone be a vacuum, don’t let them suck the happiness from you, you be you, and you’ll see that you’re more than just a girl, or a boy.
