Real Teens Speak Out

The worthless girl

I´ve been bullied, in many schools for different reasons, I´ve been bullied because of my health,(including my mental health, which hurts me the most) , my personality (When I was in middle school most my classmates used to like things I wasn’t interesting in, I was more into playing games outside, than watching a TV Show, for example) for my appearance, etc, in fewer words, I have been bullied almost all my life because, something I didn’t choose, being who I am.
Of course that took a huge impact on my self-esteem.
My self image is still horrible, I can’t look at myself at the mirror without thinking something horrible about me.
The worst part about bullying is not the bullying itself, but the way you start bullying yourself after that.
Thats why I decide to post my story here.
I want to say some things to anyone who is being bullied right now:
1st: Its not your fault!Okay? I Know it might be hard to believe sometimes, but you didn’t cause the bullying,I don’t know who you are, but I know you are a beautiful person and you matter so much, even if you don’t believe it, I swear its true.
2nd: It has nothing to do with you! Most of the times the bully has problems with their own life and they bully because they want to fell less miserable by making someone else suffer. I know it might make no sense, (because it doesn’t solve their problems either) but thats what they do, maybe
3rd: I know, sometimes it might be hard to tell an adult and sometimes the adult might even be the bully (and this is horrible) but you need to find someone, okay, probably you have tried to tell and it didn’t work, it´s fine, just look for someone else, till you find the right person
4rth: Please, don’t be a bully. You might be so tired of being bullied that you might start thinking about doing the thing they do with you, but come on! Again you are a good and beautiful person and you don’t want to feel guilty of being like them.
5th: When I asked you not to bully others, that includes yourself. Okay so, this people are being mean to you, I know, its hard, but isn’t it hard enough that they treat you badly? Don’t do the same s*it they do, you have at least to try to be nice whit yourself, those people might be bullying you for a long time, but you are the only one who is going to be with you your whole life and it´s better to be your friend than your enemy.

Whale

So, Some of the things that I hear very often are, You’re worthless, you’re a whale, go back home to you’re ocean, HaHa you’re parents are drug addicts that’s why you’re so ugly. When in fact that’s not the truth, the truth is i just am thick boned. I love my curves, just because i’m bigger doesn’t mean i don’t fit in, or i’m worthless. It just means i have lots more to love. I’m different than others and i don’t really have problems like that. I try ignoring people but in fact it hurts more than ever because i know what our world has came to. Kids are judging what because i’m not a size 0 and i don’t wear gucci. It hurts to be called names more than it normally does because i deal with it everywhere that i go.

I’m starting to slowly drift into an endless cycle of wishing I looked different, I wish I was skinnier, my hips weren’t wide, that I didn’t have love handles, that I looked prettier, that I fit in, that I was just someone, not me. But I’m cursed with all these things and I do get called fat and get bullied for it. This kid was telling me if I was on the Titanic it would sink because of me, that I should work out, that I should diet, and with the ship id sink right along. It does sting even if I’ve been called it many times. This kid said I was “thick” and some other kid said “It’s the donuts.” and the same donut kid said “if (my name) lost half a pound her and (kid people ship me with) would look good together.” and it does sting and I do feel like crying but I don’t say anything. Monday I started working out to lose some weight and I think it would be better for me and my self-confidence if I achieved my goal. I think if I work hard enough, through my journey of losing weight I’d learn to just love myself for who I am. I think that when I learn that I’ll accomplish anything.

I’ve been on both sides

In elementary, middle school and high school i was bullied for my weight so I bullied others to make others feel how I felt.

I stopped

Dear, Mister Bully
Hey mister bully I know that i’m not wanted but still you put me down about everything and I can’t express how much it makes me sad. You know my dad left me and that my step doesn’t give a damn, and you know how my mom works 3rd shift and we can barely pay our rent and all you ever do is call me names, an a disappointment, but honestly I don’t want to give a damn because my mom always tells me words are nothing compared to fists and that I should not even worry about them, but you just keep saying them, and my mom told me that you would stop but you havn’t and honestly I don’t want to come to school because you ruined my life an obviously you don’t give a damn! Sometime I ask myself do I really deserve this and I think about it all the time and come to think of it I have done nothing to get what you are doing to me so why do you have to take your anger out on me. You say I am useless but I want to say f-u but it’s really bad for me to lose my cool. I think you might need help because all you do is put people down just to make yourself happy and to be honest it is driving me crazy and I bet that is driving other people to go crazy too and that it is not just me. All you do is Push! Push! Push! We know one fights back because everyone is afraid of you…. Well not anymore I am done either you can enjoy your life on this earth or i will leave and you can find someone else to bully.

bully

on my phone i’m being called names every day. i do not know who it is

What goes around comes around

When I was in the 2nd grade I bullied a girl because she was fat and had burn marks on her body. Everyday I wanted to humiliate her and say the meanest things to her and I don’t know why. I was an ignorant child who didn’t know any better but that doesn’t excuse what I did. One day I somehow snapped out of my bullying and became friends with her but I never once ever apologized to her. We didn’t stay friends for very long and she moved away one summer. Looking back now I feel terrible for what I did and wish I could have said I was sorry, Eight years later I am in High School and just about everyday I get bullied by this one kid. This kid makes fun of the clothes I wear, tells me i’m ugly and that I should go die. This kid would always tell me that so and so is really pretty and try to make me feel bad that I don’t look anything like her. It really does hurt being bullied and you should always treat people how you want to be treated. What goes around comes around. If you treat someone badly, someone will eventually treat you badly.

Today I was being called donuts in 6th-period cadet corps by 2 boys I knew in my class. I haven’t gotten bullied since 2nd grade. Today as I’m writing this later in the day I yelled at them. I said stop insulting me and my friends or I’ll hurt you, but all of this has been building up inside me and I just couldn’t hold back anymore I went to my sub teacher sobbing. I don’t cry easily so there was something really wrong, I’m the type of person most look up 2 because of being so strong and not caring what people think. This hurt me so much I couldn’t even talk because my tears held my words in. After the sub went up to them yelling “it’s always you two getting in trouble starting stuff” they went and got talked to and then when the bell rang bc 6th period was at the end of the day, they gave me a nasty look and left

begin bullied with scoliosis

Hello my Name is T I wanted to share with you being bullied with scoliosis and growing up and how it affected me now. Scoliosis is curve spine Scoliosis can range from mild to severe. At its mildest, it can cause some discomfort. At its worst, scoliosis is disabling and can crush internal organs. I was born with the condition that caused my spine to curve at a 46-degree angle. I found out when I was about 11 years old I was so young I didn’t know what it means. I just wanted to be normal So I felt that my body had betrayed me I didn’t feel normal I cried for days. at school, I was left out of some activities I cheerleading for a while but as my spine started to grow the pain got worse I knew I can get hurt from doing them but my parents encouraged me to keep going. I was bullied by classmates who didn’t understand the seriousness of my condition. I was leaning to the side because of my spine at school, three kids tease me over a period of time few called me names like curvy back u can’t stand up straight and threw dirt on me during Still, the damage had already been done; my self-esteem was further diminished, at least for the time being. I never told my parents because I didn’t want them to be worried about it I kept it huge secret from them. I went to regular doctors’ appointments I had so many X-rays done at every visits the doctor was explaining to me about the treatments what my options was he told me to choose a back brace or surgery so I chose back brace because I was too scared for surgery at that age. having to wear a back brace for 23 hours a day, sleeping in it for seven days a week for 4 years. Wearing the brace practically around the clock took a few weeks to get used to. The first few nights I slept in my back brace was difficult I didn’t know how to put it on so it took a couple of weeks to get used to. I sweated so much in my sleep with it on it was annoying I wore my back brace for about 2 years now and went to regular doctor apt nothing change so my doctors stated it was time for me to consider surgery before it was too late I went home thought about it and said I guess I have no choice now . The night before my surgery I couldn’t eat or drink anything after a certain time so I woke up at 5 am went to Brenner Children’s Hospital they asked me am I ready I was like no I’m nervous the doctor said u will be fine he gave me the medicine I was under the knife for about 9hours. After my surgery I remember my parents was waiting for me to wake up at first my eye sight was blurry I was in so much pain I didn’t want to talk.

All I could think about is thank god I’m alive and how I had to start my whole life over again. I’m just now getting comfortable where I can show my full scar and not be shame in more. not caring about how people look at me differently or omg look how big her scar is. Living with metal rods will take time getting used to having them feel them when you move sometimes I used to say I hope I don’t mess up anything. I just wanted to share my story behind this huge scar I have. if you know anybody’s that begin bullied or pick on reach out for help don’t let them bring you down.
