Bullying
Anonymous

One of my “friends” have been physically, emotionally, & verbally bullying me. Many occasions she punched me in the breast, stomach, arms & many other places. One of my best friends, since I was like 6-7 told me, ” It’s not a big deal.” I don’t want everyone in my school to think I’m a snitch, I’m scared to tell. She’s a liar, a really good one. Everyone’s to scared to speak out, they’re scared of her. I’m tired of her being rude, I’M DONE. She’s the reason I started self-harming, she’s the reason I cried almost every night. It’s summer right now, I cannot say or do anything to get justice.

I have also been bullied for my body. It made me so self conscious. I was already scared about how I look, since everyone in my school thinks everything is perfect about them.  Don’t let them keep you down, like they did to me. We all are humans, they’re jealous, that your from another place, you have red hair, blonde hair, black hair, any colour. Any body shape is beautiful, All of you are perfect the way you are. Don’t let them keep you down, don’t make the mistakes I did. Go to a adult, choose your friends wisely.

the hardest time of my life
Anonymous

I have always been small for my age but I have never gotten bullied by anyone. It started in 5th grade when I was at a new school and I was so nervous. I tried to find friends but I was getting teased for my height and people called me ugly. I also had a lot of depression and started to harm myself and I wanted to die. Something inside of me felt like it was wrong. I was sad but I had to listen to my heart. I prayed about it and I felt better. Bullying is so hard. Don’t bully.

i was always good friends with this girl. she is in my classes and we are quite similar, in ways we act and in what friends we had, that was the problem. she spread rumors about me talking badly about my friends and would say the worst things behind my back and it would get to the stage of cyber bullying. she is two faced, and said i was super pretty, i walked away she called me a gay dog.

Look never take and let someone who has no power over your life believe they do just because they made you go home and cry. I’m not any normal kid i’m a foster kid who goes home to people that are not even blood and i still don’t let people get into my feelings and let them play with my feelings. Don’t be scared to put your name on your story because then people know you are brave and know that you will stand up for yourself. I want to see more names on here please. LOVE YA’LL!

Last year
Anonymous

Last year was hard . I was pushed into a locker by my friends who I would normally hang out with , I was pushed into a garbage can. I was given a nickname because of what it means, they told me that I was dumb. The teachers are useless. They say they will help you and they care about bullying but all they care about is the schools reputation. This year I found out that I was verbally abused from the kids from last year I found that out because I kept getting flashbacks they also said I would never accomplish anything in my life .

Respect Is Key

I get bullied everyday. No one notices. It sucks I go home everyday crying because of people. Just recently I got into a fist fight with a boy. I am a 5 ‘4 girl and he is over 6’0. The school didn’t even care that he punched a girl. If schools pay more attention, no in school bullying will happen and students will be nice to each other outside of school. If you are being bullied YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I LOVE YOU <3!

I’m being bullied too in my class. I am an international student and since I didn’t speak the local language fluently, I always receive nasty comments and the cold shoulder from my classmates. When i did an even small mistake, they comment it on my face say “even that simple thing can’t be done”. Or when there is group work or discussion, I’ll be left out. When I try to help with the group work, they ignore me, treat me like I’m an invisible man. It really is sucks for me. And the teachers are not helpful at all. They will just pretend to close one eye for all the bullying I receive. There was a case when I was being bullied and the teacher saw it but she didn’t say anything at all. At that time I really wished she will stand for me and at least reprimanded the bullies but what can I expect? Since then, I never want to discuss anything about my school life anymore with the teachers. Even if I told them, they are not going to help me at all. And they will just tell me to ‘speak up’ to the bullies. Like it is an easy thing to do. If it was so easy a thing, I will have done it long before.
The bullies always say nasty things in front of me, discuss it together while look at me like I’m really a nasty thing, the stupidest, the weirdest one. They never tried to hide it.
I know I’m an international student among the local students and I also know that I’m not a chatty person but can’t they at least be a little bit kind by not saying any nasty things in my face? I don’t really mind if they say anything bad on my back.
I really hope if you see someone who is being bullied, even if you didn’t stand up for him/her, please at least be friend or listen to her/his problem. It really will help brighten his/her day.

Bullying sucks
Anonymous

Going bald as a teenager is pretty embarrassing and it sucks because I get bullied by almost everyone and it sucks because I am so insecure about it but kids don’t care about my feelings. These kids record me on their phones and get groups of like 6 people to talk about me while they record it. It would help if someone would stick up for me. So if someone is getting bullied try to help them out and talk to them because that will make their day.

Don’t stand with the bully
Anonymous

it started almost 4 years ago. it started off as a couple of kids tormenting me rarely, I never thought that it would amount to what it did. I held my trust in my closest friends and they broke it, too many times. I’d like to say I’m doing better, but it still lingers in the back of my mind whenever I see them. a group of 10-12 kids who have harassed me in the past. it’s over now, mostly. a little shove in the hallways sometimes, but whatever. the worst part is, that my best friend who i thought I trusted, is also friends with those people. and she believes them, not me. not the bullied one, but she believes the bully. Don’t stand with the bully, help the victim.
