Real Teens Speak Out

Aspergers Syndrome bullying .

I grew up with Aspergers Syndrome . The high functioning end of the autistic spectrum . In high school I was always smart and good with academics but very lonely and isolated . I felt separated from the society at large . I was bullied almost every day in Middle school and high school . I was called a loser and a nerd . Kids would throw pencils at me and kick me under the table . There was even bullying that went all the way back to elementary school . I reamiber clearly where a few classmates said that I was so weird they wished I was dead . I have somewhat moved on from this . I have a successful part time job as well as being a successful collage student with a high gpa and many friends but lately the bullying I experienced in my early years has started to bother me .

IM NOT GOOD ENOUGH

im not good enough.

continuous bullying

My name is K, i’m 16 and have been bullied since i was 8. i first got bullied because of my severe overbite, now it’s because of the way i look.

Last year, sophomore year i favored a gothic, all black appearance. I wore Dark purple lipstick, had blunt cut bangs and dark clothing. I received soooo much attention, more then i ever had in previous years over it. Every period people in my class would just laugh at me. Boys would say i looked like a witch…. it got so bad someone even messaged my little sister on social media about me. That time i had enough confidence to tell him off.
Eventually i just stopped dressing the way i wanted at the time because i couldn’t handle what came with it, i thought it was stop but i was really wrong.
Later that year, this girl a year below me started on me. She and her posse would point at me and call me ugly all the time. She got guys that were her friends to look at me, asked them if they found me attractive. Obviously they didn’t. She would continue to do the same stuff over the years, she would countlessly call me ugly. more of her friends would call me ugly. i dont know how it started considering i didn’t know them. they knew my name and everything.
Fast forward to later that year, a girl above me who’s actually my cousin turned on me. Its always the same stuff with them. Laughing at me with their friends, criticizing and analyzing me, getting guys who also thought i was unattractive to bother me… it just never ends.
I recently attended my county fair to see my friends i haven’t seen all summer, i shouldnt’ve. Because the same people that bullied me in school where there, saying i looked like a hot mess, staring me down and gossiping. I seriously can’t even enjoy myself with these people .
It’s now only three weeks into my junior year of high school and you would think these people grow out of it but they didn’t. The teasing and bullying has somehow gotten worse. Now its a few freshmen who i assume know these girls bullying me are doing it too. I had to change my whole schedule because of it, and even tjat doesn’t do much anymore because they would see me in the halls, glare me down and say “ewww”. I had a meeting with my principal recently over it, and my therapist is now on site at my school to handle my anxiety attacks. Even guys bully me too. I hate the way i look, these people have made me believe im the ugliest girl ever. I just reported their names and i’m hoping itll do something..,,,,

It gets better

I’m 16 years old and I’ve been bullied since I was about 11 years old I’ve been called every single name in the book and even been told by others to take my own life , why am I sharing this ? Because I just wanted to put on here that things only get better life goes on regardless of what happens in life and people mature such as myself I use my bullying experience as a form to help others and I just wanted to say I know what it feels like to be and come from nothing , from being told by teachers that I would be a drop out to an honor roll student I believe that people have no negative say in you whether it’s your about your clothes, your race , your gender , your sexual orientation, or your personality never let anyone belittle who you are and the potential you have

Bullies ruined my life..😟

Hello I’m a 17 year old girl here. My name is K. I’ve been bullied throughout my life. It hurts. It started in elementary. It wasn’t bad. One boy didn’t like me,one girl kept sticking out her tongue at me and one girl sometimes gives me mean looks. In middle school, people called me weird,ugly and ratchet. These 2 boys were laughing at me in the bus. I got mad and couldn’t stand getting bullied and I callled him ugly. He laughed and pointed at me because i was wearing glasses. But I didn’t really mean it! Only did it to stand up for myself. In high school, it was really bad. One boy pushed me in lunch, people were saying threats,calling me names,etc. In Ap art class, these girls were bullying me. One called me the b word and the f word. One girl stole one of my artwork. They’re pretending I stole it. The girl was fake whining. It made me feel worst and I did cry. These girls in lunch were bullying me too, they said hurtful things. One girl wanted to fight me. One other girl said I have dodo hair. It was insulting. One boy threatened to murder me in lunch. I suffered from OCD,anxiety and depression. I also had suicidal thoughts. I’m still a little now. I did cry in the school bathroom. If you’re getting bullied, seek for help. Ask someone you really trust. And you can get through it! Stay strong! Don’t bully back. It will make it worse. I’m nervous might get bullied in college. I know i am.

I’m just a quiet girl

I had suffered from bullying when I was in elementary for being introverted; my classmates disrespect me, made fun of me, and called me names. Remembering my days of elementary school gave me horrible memories. In the beginning, they made me feel anxious and nervous. I was afraid of asking help from adults because I knew that it doesn’t stop the bullies from hurting me. I decided to ignore people who wanted to rouse a reaction out of me. They judge me for wearing my older sister’s old clothes and not spending money on unnecessary things. Despite the circumstances, I still managed to smile at my classmates who bullied me back in elementary. Being bullied, taught me to choose friends who like or love me for who I truly am, not by the mask I put on to just fit in with the group or by my social class. I learned that we don’t need to take vengeance on the bullies because payback is only for the unsophisticated and it doesn’t lead to a resolution. Everyone deserves to be respected, regardless of sex, race, social class, and physical appearance. No matter how good you are, people will always criticize you; learn how to distinguish between positive criticism and negative criticism. If you don’t feel comfortable depending on your parents, you can ask for guidance from your parents or teacher instead. You are awesome and extraordinary, that’s why bullies are jealous of you. 🙂

I don’t even know if my email will be shown or not but whatever. It’s a Tuesday night, I have a lot to do and I just suddenly got into this mood wherein I feel like the world hates me. I haven’t been bullied but I felt like I was because students at my school see me as a weirdo. Like… I just don’t have a pretty face that people want to look at… I just don’t have a dream body to show off with wonderful clothes and all that but I’m just like everyone else but I don’t think they see it that way. I suddenly don’t have he rights to be what I want to be— to express what I want to say and to do what I want to do because I am not pretty. Yesterday was the worst I felt because on a dance practice, we were asked to have a slight body contact… not even “body”… like… hands… we were— asked to hold hands— everybody was asked to hold hands. I mean if I were to ask myself I’m not unhygienic but their reaction as to holding my hands were as if I was a piece of rotten garbage which resulted to me feeling like it… was I really that gross and ugly? Sometimes I think to myself, are my “friends” just here because they pity me? Because if I didn’t have them I would have no one? Whenever I tell them things they don’t seem interested but they act like they do. I hate it. I hate life. Family problems on the other hand are worse but Imma let them pass because I could deal with them myself. Just the thought of people being grossed out by me is what made my already 0 confidence level go from that to the negatives, thanks people from my expensive unprofessional school with horrible students and teachers who lack both discipline and good attitude!

Hi, I’m Z. I’m 16 years old.  At school, everyone would alienate me, they won’t let me be friends with them. And if I thought they were my friends, they were just faking it. I really don’t understand why they hate so much. Is it because I’m related to the school’s founder? Or that I smelled bad? Or that I lived the farthest from the school? Or that my family isn’t that rich compared to theirs? I just don’t understand. I endured all the bullying, sure it was hard at first hearing someone say that no one likes me in a group chat or they’d publicly talk bad things about me online, I endured it all and never told my parents. I don’t know why but I never had the confidence to tell them about my problems. I had so much trouble fitting in and trying so hard to be liked by everyone. No one in the school liked me, even my older sister was embarrassed that I was her sister. After 4 long years of enduring of being bullied, I tried opening up my problems to my parents. I thought they were going to comfort me, I thought they were going to give me advice, but I was wrong. They yelled at me and told me that it’s my fault as to why they don’t like me, and that I give them a bad vibe. During that time, all I was thinking was: when and where will I ever be safe to be open about how I feel? I remember when I had a problem way before my confrontation with them, they told me that they are always there to listen to my problems whenever I am in need of someone to talk to. But boy was I wrong.

My story

Hi, I’m a 13 year old girl, who has been bullied since I started high school for the worst reason ever. People bully me because I’m ‘too skinny’ and ‘my hair is messy’ I don’t get it bullies say said I was attention seeking. They said drink bleach n stuff like that but I didn’t want to. My bullying hasn’t stopped but I will try to be strong x

The Fat Girl

I was a happy child. I had a good family and life. Until I entered elementary school. I was call slow, fat, stupid, ugly, and dumb. Boys would pretend to like me so they can just make their friends laugh. Girls would write bad letters to me on how I looked. I was so big and dark skinned. When they kept saying,” I was just playing with you.” It made things worse. One guy told me “I wish you was dead.” When I was in high school, I was in a terrible car accident. I fell in a nine foot ditch. I was left for dead. When I enter college, one guy told me to lose 50-75lbs in order to be more beautiful. And guys would go out with me. I would cry day and night. I hated myself. I just want to feel love and not be judged. Sometimes, I wish I was dead and my nightmares would be over!!!!!
