Real Teens Speak Out

How Being bullied made me want to stop living

I was at an international school, for the first year, I tried being friends with this other new girl but even though she kept me around, she clearly didn’t like me. Once we were hanging out outside of school with another one of her friends and she leaves for a moment and he asks me, “why do you hang out with her? You know she says stuff about you behind your back and doesn’t even like you right,” and I just shrugged and said, “Yeah, I know,”. That was the first experience of bullying I’ve ever had, having people talking about me behind my back and only inviting me to things so they could make fun of me in private later. Then the next year I made some much better friends but I started getting bullied again, it started when I was sitting in geography, keep in mind that I was 11, and the teacher is re-arranging our seats and he puts me next to this boy and the boy gets up and very publicly in front of the entire class says, I don’t want to sit next to her, I just ignored him and so did the teacher but it still hurt. That same day, I heard him muttering to his friend, while I was sitting next to him about how I stunk like garbage or whatever. So the next day I applied extra extra deodorant, showered twice, let’s just say, I didn’t smell, and he made the same comment to his friend, thinking I couldn’t understand the Spanish. This went on for a few months until the teacher switched the seats around again, but still during that time, I found that I started hearing people talking about me behind my back, saying mean things because I was overweight. Finally when I told my mom, and begged her not to go to the school about it, she did and after they made the entire grade of boys sit through a talk about bullying they targeted me even more knowing it was me who told someone because I was the only one they were doing it to. I left the year after, going into a new school I thought things were going to get better, but the first week comes and I start hearing guys joking about me in the halls about how I would be the last girl they would ever want to kiss or date, like it was some kind of joke, I made no friends, and I found myself eating lunch in a hallway in front of my next class, every single day. Three weeks go by and I get “sick” I stop going, I can’t take it anymore, I feel isolated, even in class sometimes I sit alone because I get there first and then no one even tried to sit anywhere near me. Eventually my parents found out what was happening and they let me drop out and for a few months I didn’t go to school, I barely left my house, I had no friends, I even started cutting myself and found myself thinking a lot about suicide. Finally I joined a super small all girls school in the middle of the year and things were okay for the rest of that year, I still didn’t have friends but it wasn’t bad, but when the next year started, that’s when things turned bad again.  They isolated me, I didn’t have friends, literally kids in the older grades who were friends with the girls who were doing this to me would shoot me dirty looks in the hallways and just be rude to me in general. So again, I stopped attending, I would always try to go back but each time, I would spend more time away until I just stopped going, I started cutting myself again and I got really depressed. But I managed to finish the year from home and with the help of anxiety meds I’m slowly getting better although I don’t think I’ll ever be able to return to any school ever again after all that’s happened to me.

Experience

Back when I was in Elementary school I was bullied because I never knew how to make friends and since I had ADD, and I still do to this day, it was hard for me to get along with others. Kids would always outcast me, I was always away from the playground and always alone, watching the other kids play. I did make a friend, but she called me annoying and left me. So now I’m 16 and to this day, whenever one of my friends get hurt I always try to cheer them up, from this day knowing that maybe helping out can make an impact.

My life

I went to get a photograph taken with the head teacher for the school website, most people didn’t care. On the bus to school, I was talking to my friend, telling her that I was getting my photo taken, than the ‘popular kid started to laugh and mutter how much of a ‘need and a ‘freak I am. I’d never been bullied so now I knew kind of what it felt like. I stupidly told everyone that I was really upset and I also mentioned their name. The person who called me a freak heard the rumor and confronted me saying, ‘oh soz, I thought you were someone else’. This wasn’t true. I then told everyone it was a misunderstanding and that the ‘person’ didn’t mean to call me a freak. The person was then telling everybody how I was a freak and that I was so rude for telling everyone, he even told year eights who stared at me, which made me go bright red. Then the person said ‘ha look she’s going bright red ! She can’t even face me.’ He was right. I couldn’t. Pls help me. Life’s so horrible now. Everyone on the buses just stares and whispers about me now and it hurts. Can anyone help me ?

lesbian

in 8th grade I came out that I was a lesbian, that’s when the bullying started. they would call me fat, a slut, and a prostitute. but that was only the start of it. weekly they would send me messages to kill my self, and even threatened to bash me (which happened on a couple of cases).

Life is crap

I hate life right now. School literally is crap. Like UGHH. i am currently writing this in a bathroom where i am always are. It wasnt always like this. I used to have friends that i hung out with at breaks, especially this one kid. Lets name him J. Ive known J for 4 years. Ive walked home with him EVERY DAY after school, ive been to his house, we’ve shared netflix shows, hes given me the show black mirror which i honestly thank him for. But what pisses me of is when a “cool kid” comes along its like im invisible. An example is when we were walking home his cool friend came and said hey to him yet he didnt even acknowledge me. Then they were having their own conversation and then we were close to where i lived. Then i went to the path and they didnt even care.
Ugghhhb oh well.
My life is disgusting. Some facts about me ??
Well my mum passed away when i was born so i never got to know her and yes she died on my birthday. My birthday i hate . Many people love theirs and get gifts which i understand but when you find out that your birthday is on thesame day as when your mum passed away it makes u sick. Ive cried myself to sleep on my birthday. Until it hurts and the pain remains the next dayy. Ive thought about suicide. And if i matter but……
I want to kill myself ….
Like i want to
Im crying rn as im typing this
..
Also live life to the fullest like.. ugh
Ok bye

Bullied

I was bullied from year 7 till year 11 at first it wasn’t that bad but when I got into year 10 sometimes I would go into school and people would throw food at me or when I was going home they would put rubbish in my hood I went home crying every night and when I got home I would be in a group chat and they would have a old picture of me and just start making fun of it and laughing and editing it. The bullying made me suffer from depression I lost all my friends and my best friend died in a car crash it was awful I had to drop my favourite lesson because of the bullies. When I got to year 11 it got so bad I had a mouth off school due to bullies and depression but eventually I went back and I made it through high school. So no matter what is going on don’t hide it tell someone get the help I should of got when it started trust me it will always get better ❤️

People bully me and it really hurts

Hi! I’m an 11 year old boy. So, the thing is I am pretty “fat” and that is what I get bullied for. Thing is, these three dudes, let’s call them Michael,Andrew and Valentine. These are the three problems that destroyed my life. So, Michael calls my mother an “easy woman” and he says that I am an idiot, a retard, an obese bastard, etc. I wish that I could say “Whatever, I don’t care!” and then punch him in the face, but he just keeps saying these things and once he comes up with something, he says it to me, then to my friends and then the entire school! This idiot ruined my life and I can’t go to sleep thanks to his stupid words. Every time I tell my parents about this, they say ignore him, ignore him! But, it’s impossible knowing that I have to go through this every single day! Thing is, he is the worst bully to deal with, because 90% of the teachers that know him think he is the “Perfect little angel that never does anything”. This Valentine dude calls me a Walking pig and the Andrew dude says that I have “male breasts” . Even the 6th graders are picking on me too! They say I am the continent of Asia, etc. I wanted to kill my self in the 4th grade thanks to these people! Thank god that I recently managed to convince Andrew and Valentine to stop, but Michael keeps bullying. Yesterday I slapped him and said if he does not stop, I will tell everybody who he really is. But he doesn’t stop. If he continues today, I will do exactly as I said.
