Real Teens Speak Out

A stronger you is a must not ‘I wish’! ❤

Hey! I’m 16 and I’m jasmine.
It was my first day in year 7 in 2015 when I realised as I got to school I had made some friends. I was however looked at, laughed, gossiped about but I never took careless risky decisions to even care! I was bullied because of my teeth, my skinniness, got called weak and told I need braces and people just starting judging me and commenting about how I had appeared. So I went home, thought about this long and hard and said to myself ‘well what if I am, no one will want me now and its true’ but I never was quite sure until I realised I was beautiful, I was amazing, I had all these feelings, emotions, breathroughs inside me but that never stopped me from continuing. So I went into year 10 and so I still am right now, was and currently getting bullied for the same reason. No one would socialise with me unless I spoke first, they’d laugh if I said something silly or stupid, whenever I smiled they’d laugh because my teeth would be showing, I got called bunny teeth, TNT, dynamite and no one would sit next to me at all.

Realising to this day I am beautiful has been making me realise so much positive energy flown through within this situation and it’s all broken through. I still am being bullied but it hasn’t stopped me from myself achieving the things I want to do or be but its stopped me from believing in the negative comment’s that were placed upon me.

Be true to yourself and never feel afraid to speak up, to walk away, to ignore or to tell someone because it gets better with one voice or none, then to get it everyday and have it flowing through your mind. Never feel ashamed because there’s people out there experiencing the same thing and I wouldn’t care less about the people who bully others the way they do because they’re just awful so treat yourself well and much more adjusted than any other evil human that choosing they wanna pick on you! And remember to stand up for what’s right than to back down on something to regret! 😉 have faith !!!

Bullying

I am currently in highschool, I still do get bullied like everyday by my so called best friend who never supports me or never sticks up for me. Any advice for me.

Just hang on ok? ❤️

Hi my names s and im 13. When i was in primary school i was bullied everyday by these older ones and also by my 2 other classmates (there was only three in my class lol) it was never physical but it was mental. They told me everyday how dumb i was and how i was ugly and how my nose was big and i was fat and stuff like that i used to come home and just cry. I felt so alone because im not the type of person that talks to people about my feelings and i also had no friends at the time (no girls in my class apart from me 😩) one night i was so depressed and was having a mental breakdown. I dug my nails into my wrists and kept saying that i wanted to die over and over again. I texted my cousin who is the same age as me but she just basically ignored me and told me to cop on. It was then that i realised why i was being bullied. I was being bullied because i LET them bully me and i LET them affect me and the way i looked at myself in the mirror and in general. From then on i cant say that it improved but i can say that i dont want to die now and i have ACTUAL FRIENDS!! it still traumatises me that i was in such a dark place and it haunts me that i could’ve hurt myself that night and i was thinking that nobody would be affected. I still get anxiety (undiagnosed so not official if uk what i mean) and think about that time but then i realise that the people who did it are horrible people with basically no future. LISTEN TO THIS. If you are telling yourself that your worthless or ugly then u need to remember that YOU are not the one that is saying that. Its not the real you that is degrading yourself, its the version that is unconfident and actually ugly but dont worry you will get through it! Look in the mirror every morning and say to yourself one good thing to make u feel happy xxxx

Alone Again

I was 10 years old. Every day I came to school, was told I was worthless, ugly, a waste of space. Without friends, I retreated into myself. I did seek help, from the teachers, from the principle even. No one did anything, but tell me to toughen up and get over it. So, I decided, at 10 years old that my life wasn’t worth living if it was going to be so miserable and I wasn’t worth anything anyways. I planned the day. I planned the execution. I planned to say goodbye. I didn’t plan on the new kid. He moved there a couple of days before I was gonna end it all. He walked right up to me said, “Hey!” I told him he shouldn’t be near me or he’ll end up all alone too. He said, “We can be alone together.”
That saved my life. Middle school only got worse. My friend had to move again and I was starting to settle in with some new ones, but every day getting pushed, called names. It hits home. Again, I told the teachers. I told security. I told the principal. They didn’t do a thing, but tell me to toughen up and get over it. What was worse was that my friends were getting hurt too. They also protested with adults. No one came to help us.
I wasn’t free until freshman year. I got knocked down and had it. An adult was going to listen to me this time and to my friends. I stormed into the office, crying my eyes out and begged to talk to someone. By the end of the day, my bully was suspended and never messed with me again. My friends started to report their bullies to the adults. One by one we all lost them. Adults can make a difference when they choose to help. Bullying isn’t something to just get over. It’s a real problem that needs solving. It can’t go overlooked because people end up hurt.
To this day I remain in counseling. I suffer from severe depression, anxiety, minor PTSD, and night terror disorder. All from my bullying.
I hear the middle school has a new bullying program that’s working wonders. It was started the year after my friends and I left. I believe it’s because of us and other brave people that it was put in place. Bullying is a serious issue that cannot be tolerated. Just because someone saved 10 year old me, doesn’t mean that every 10-year-old out there has someone looking out for them.

Elementary School

When I was in elementary school there was this one group of really popular girls and during that time I was told not to believe in popularity or being the same as everyone else. I was so confused and I was terrified of being bullied by these girls. One day they started targeting me and calling me fat, stupid, ugly when in reality I was smarter than them, nicer than them. I went through the torture of them every single day until I started cutting myself and crying myself to sleep. It was a nightmare. I felt horrible all the time. They made me feel like trash. They made me feel so bad about myself. I cried and cried one day at school and locked myself in a teachers’ bathroom because they just wouldn’t leave me alone. They told me that the world would be a better place with out me in it. They told me they had a gun I could use, they told me no one would ever love me. I already couldn’t love myself and then as soon as they said that I knew I could never be loved.

Bullied since kindergarten

I have been bullied since kindergarten. People would treat me like I was nothing and still now. My bullies have hit me, put my belongings or me in the trash can at school, and call me names, etc.

What i went through

It was every day from the second i walked into those school gates, to the second i stepped into my house at the end f the day. Then after that i’d go home and fall apart, cry myself to sleep wondering what i ever did wrong. I got pushed. I was called every hurtful name possible. Anything they could do to make me feel worthless and empty they did. You’re always told to tell someone and it will get sorted. Maybe in primary school, but not in high school. In high school, it would only get ten times worse. I had a lucky escape and left the school before it was too late, and i became homeschooled. But there are children out there who are suffering with no possible way of escaping it. It has took me a long time to get myself back on track. It’s nine months later, and the memories still haunt me everyday. I’m scared to leave the house in case i’m seen by anyone. Only now i’m just starting to find myself again. Bullying is something that most of the time can’t be controlled. It never gets better, it would get worse and worse to the point some children start having thoughts of dissappearing.

The bullying thing

Hello everyone, I just came here to share half of my story that I forgot to put. I did put a story here but it was submitted on August. I’m 18 years old now. Back when I was in middle school there was this girl (I’ll call her A) who was so mean to me. I first met A in gym class. She was quiet in the first place and I thought she was nice. In gym the teacher wants us to have locker partners. I had no locker partner so the gym teacher choose A to be my locker partner. When I tried putting my planner in the locker she said in a rude tone “Just put it!” I was nervous and but the planner was stuck and she did it for me. I remember she said something while doing it but i can’t remember. I stopped putting my planner in the locker because of her. A was also in the same art class as me. I was in the same table as her! She was talking to this girl who was also mean to me back in summer camp. A was saying to me “Hey K how’s your day?” (Said it 2 times i think) And then “Hey K how’s your day?” “I’m gonna kidnap you.” The girl next to her was laughing.

When I moved

I didn’t like where I used to live kids bullied me for almost 3 years and when my house caught on fire it got worse, kids calling my homeless. I was so excited to move I told myself this school would not be like my old one, but I was wrong. The kids started bullying me there too. I always think I don’t belong anywhere anymore because I got bullied in 2 schools and still do.

TMS

So i attented class like normal, i was depressed like always, but something happend people started to edge me on to commit suicide, they threatened to jump me, when i’d get mad they would call me a school shooter. I hated it, ive gotten jumped a couple times over the years by so called friends, it was traumatic especially when they would bring up parents. I cut so often my arms were full of cuts, i wanted to die very badly but not until they learned a lesson. They were teasing me and threatening me and i was so mad/sad i threatened them right back. They took screenshots of our insta convos, but they would delete the parts where they threatened me. They went to principal, i got introuble even know i was the victim. Principal saw otherwise believing they were the victim. I got suspended. While i was falling apart rapidly mentally they still continued to bully me on social media. Eventually next year, i wasn’t gonna take any off it. So when someone tired to bully me id walk up to em and say i can hurt you more than you can hurt me. And thats true.
