Real Teens Speak Out

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.

101

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.

Ever since I moved schools I have been the victim of bullying in all of my classes. People tell me that I’m ugly, fat, that no one likes me and that I have no friends. I honestly have no idea what I ever did to them or why they say this stuff to me, especially that I’m fat cuz I’m really not, but that’s not the point. The way they talk to each other is also really horrible, I can’t even believe what I hear sometimes. I’m so sick of living in a world where stuff like this is ok and doesn’t stop no matter what you say. I also suffer from pretty severe anxiety but not anxiety disorder so my mom wants me to talk to a therapist but I really don’t want to because it’s like I’m just sitting there hearing her tell me to count to 10 or something and I just don’t wanna waste my time with that. I can’t think of another solution though, I’m pretty stuck. Even my “closest” friends say mean stuff to me once in a while. One more year until high school and then I can start over and find new friends. That’s what I keep telling myself but I’m worried about everyone at high school being the same anyway. Ugh

School

I was Bullied In school for having dry skin and having Type One Diabetes I have almost killed myself twice but thinking of my boyfriend made me stop and he still has no idea how he changed my life. THANK YOU TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WILL BE NICE TO ALL. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO WILL NEED IT.

My Story

Almost every day my biggest fear was school, because there wasn’t a day that went by that I wouldn’t be bullied. I was a toy for boys that were 4 years older than me. They would call me every name under the sun, push me into lockers, embarrass me and threaten me. I hated school and every day was a struggle. When I went to bed I would pray to not wake up the next morning , I just wanted my life to come to an end. Everytime i looked in the mirror all i saw was a disgusting, unwanted and miserable girl. I was underweight because I would refuse to put any type of food near my mouth. Thinking about being dead and not having to worry about anything was the only good thought I had. After getting the serious help I needed I started to get better and things started improving. That’s just half the story but I’m sure you have better things to do than read it.
I used to be ashamed and embarrassed of telling my story but now I tell people because I want people to learn from it. Be fucking nice to each other, don’t bully, don’t call people names or pick on people for the way they look. keep your shitty opinions to yourself. Don’t feel the need to ruin someone’s life just because your having a bad day. I am at my best in life right now. I enjoy school and being around people and I am happy. Thank you to everyone who was there for me and who helped me get through that horrible stage in my life and show me what I am worth. You saved my life and if it wasn’t for you guys I wouldn’t be here living my life to the fullest

April Sadness

Have you ever felt like your not enough? Well, someone made me feel that way. I like this kid, lets call him j, so i started liking him a while ago, and he is in my friend group. He had this dare to like, hug me, and he couldve just done it quickly or put one arm around me, but he decides to run away, and say eww i dont wanna touch her… that made me feel horrible. I would look in the mirror, and think im the ugliest person ever. before him, i was real confident. But it all changed, he kept on doing that, and he made me feel more insecure. He didnt like me, he never did, he would always consider me a friend. I am a size 0, and i have 36 hips, so i wasnt fat. but he made me feel as if i wasnt active, i would get into the same sports as him, i would change myself for him, but it never would happen. He never liked me like that, I started to lose myself. my smile was becoming more and more fake, i thought i was more and more ugly in pictures. I would cry every night, i was trash to myself. I would work out everyday to become faster, and grow muscle in my arm to become stronger. Everything i did, he never liked me. Now, i still like him, and cant get out of being ‘ugly’, my smile is still fake, i just want to leave, and move away with my family, i make conversation with him, and he just leaves, leaves me sad and alone, and he doesnt care, he doesnt care for me, or anyone other than this other girl, i can never get anyone, sadly there isnt a happy ending to this, but i am working on my self confidence, no one else knows how i feel, no one, except me, no one knows i cry every night, how i look in the mirror in disgust, i have been avoiding mirrors, unless if i am doing my hair, it is taking less and less time to do my hair, and get ready, because i stop caring, i still have my outfits on point, and my hair curly, but one thing i want to change the most is my face, this other girl, lets call her r, gets every guy, every guy, she is athletic, and cna become friends with anyone, and can make any guy like her, he would rather spend time with her than me, and she has a bf, and she knows i like him, but she still decides to hang around him, and make me look stupid.. because i am, im an ugly, unathletic, fat, unlikable, girl. No one has liked me back, maybe its my personality, maybe it is how i act, maybe how i look, it would be better for everyone if i just leave them alone, no one likes me, no one at all.
