I was bullied

Bullying
Anonymous

It all started in 8th grade when everything just fell apart. I lost friends. Made new ones that were fake and judged me all the time but I let them go. I’ve always seen my self as an active kid who loves to go play sports and watch them with family as friends. This time I had a bright idea of playing football for the freshman football team. Yes the guys team. The day I went to go talk to the coaches about me trying out for kicker every guy there stared at me and laugh. I also over heard them saying some things but guess what it turned out that I had made the team. The guys loved having me on there and I loved working out with them and getting in shape. The worst thing though was the girls cyber bullying me. They weren’t girls from my middle school they were the uper classmen that were already at the high school and had seen a video of me practicing kicking.It was non- stop getting texts from all these girls saying you not good enough,or you can play your just a girl who’s going to get smashed onto the ground.This cyber bullying went on for about a month until I finally told the principal of my middle school. She called the high school officer and told him that he needed to fix the problem and he did. I was so relived that all that was over.Until high school had started then it came back up again . There was really nothing they could do about it because all people would do was spread rumors about how I was the football girl and I wasn’t strong enough to do it. But at least I tried. I ignored it to the point where when people talk about me it doesn’t hurt because what they were saying wasn’t true at all they just wanted to break me down but they didn’t get to this time.

I’m a 15 year old girl, that is in a wheelchair. One day when I was in the 8th grade a girl (not saying any names) told me that she would throw me out of my wheelchair. Also, she told me she would throw me down a flight of stairs.

Hi, I’m 14 years old and in in the 8th grade. I would like to share my story about being bullied.
I as a teenager constantly get teased and made fun of. Kids at my school call me thing like “Fat” and “Stupid” all the time. I try to ignore it as best as I can but it doesn’t go away. I have a total of 4 friends who I actually trust. They call me “short stack” and “cute kitty” and whenever someone compliments me I say ” I know your lying, I’m not cute, funny, smart, or normal so tell me the truth, i can handle it” …..

the point of this story is there are people who love you for being you so dont change who you are just to fit in. Be yourself, cause everyone else is taken

Its hard.Being the person who is always down,always moody.But no one knows the reason behind it.Apart from a few of my closest friends.I think its petty,stupid.I cry over something that happened a year ago.But how can i forget it if it happened 4 years in a row.How can i get over it when the bully happened to be my “best friend”.She was just annoyed that you were better than her.But was i? Or was it maybe the fact that she hated me because of who i was not how i was.The old saying that goes sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.To be honest the verbal abuse was worse than the physical abuse.They had a bigger impact on my life than i thought.Waking up to the flashbacks the things i had to remember and tried so hard to forget.In my new school,in secondary,i’ve been there for 2 years but i’m enclosed always said to be moody.But i’m just a misunderstood kid thats had it rough.I didnt ask for this.I was one of the nicest kids in the school.Someone who would find a way to help no matter what.But it always ended up in me getting hurt.I’M still a victim even though i may not see the bully again.Thats what people dont seem to understand.I dont think i can get through this but i’ll try.My friends ask me whats wrong.I shrug and say nothing but it usually means everything.Im sick and tired of people who bully.I dont want anyone to be hurt like me.But its hard to not look at someone and think what if your hurt again by that person or that person.I dont want it to be true.Not again.So im deciding to stay enclosed and quiet so that no one notices im there anymore.Its alot harder than i thought to be honest

It Never Ends

So there’s this girl. We used to be good friends. I told her all my secrets and such, and I even told her about my childhood, which wasn’t that awesome. But one day she decided she just didn’t want to be my friend anymore. She started bullying me on Snapchat and sending me mean things replying to my snapchats that very night after she excluded me from her friend group. She threatened to destroy my life if I continued to be friends with her best friend, Bri. She also threatened to tell all my secrets and my backstory to the whole grade, and possibly even the whole school. She turned all my friends against me and threatened to beat me up, and she even said once that when I died she would dance on my grave. On Valentine’s Day, we had a dance. Bri had decided she wanted to be friends with me instead of the other girl and didn’t want a friend that would control her life.. So things were finally starting to look up. Anyway, me, Bri, and my other friend Earl were all chilling and eating in the corner while laughing as music played, when the girl and her friends (which were also my friends) decided to walk over and ruin the whole day. Since Bri is a little overweight, the girl made a super rude remark: “Don’t eat too much, Bri!” I just rolled my eyes at that girl and said, “can’t you be nice one day of the year? It’s Valentines Day, for crying out loud.” And she said “And you’ll get beat up on Valentine’s Day if you keep talking!”
Earl then said “the better person is the first to walk away.” So me, Bri, and Earl got up and walked away, but SHE FOLLOWED US. Bri and her argued a few feet away while Earl and I talked about how stupid this all was, when I heard someone yell. I turned to see Bri crying and holding her eye, and the girl was throwing punches at her and shoving her to the ground. Teachers finally noticed and ran over to pull her off of Bri.
After that, I didn’t get to see Bri again for a couple months. Her mother pulled her from school and they moved out of my town. The girl who punched only got suspended for two days, and it was in-school suspension. She apologized to me over text, but when she noticed on one of my social medias that Bri had asked if I was friends with her again for any reason (I said no) the girl who punched got mad and threatened me again.. I’m still so upset, since this just happened about 20 minutes ago… I don’t know what to do. There are 9 weeks left of school, but she’s in my writing class, she’s twice my size, she’s amazing at sports, and she knows almost every single one of my secrets. Please help, all the advice I’ve found doesn’t help and I’ve tried going to the principal and the counselor. They haven’t done a very good job of keeping us away from each other like they said they would, since they moved the girl into a few of my classes…

It all started 3 years ago when a new guy came to our grade. He was 3 years older than everyone because he failed a couple of grades. I was always the quiet one and never been threatened but when he came it was horrible. He started to bully me emotionally and he never stopped. Not even for just 1 class.He did it with a group of guys in our school and I cried every single day after school. He was expelled last year because he hit a student third time. But the worst part has just begun, his sidekicks continue to bully me and no teacher does anything about it. Today they said some horrible things and they got away with it but I feel like I am ready to tell my story to everyone. I am a fighter.

The 5 year old

Being bullied at a very young age might lead to destort your personality and mentality at adulting.
For me it all started in 2006 when I was in the second year of kindergarten.I was always a tall girl and I was pretty chubby back then as every kid was,I got severely bullied for that not only that but pretty much everything I’ve done was wrong for them,I remember that even eating dark rye bread was a reason to get bullied.Then I went to primary school,sadly every kid that bullied me was in my class,when I realised , I started crying like crazy for me the next 3 years would be nothing but bullying,crying and sorrow.I hated all my girl classmates but especially one, she was the brain behind all of this,she was the one telling all the other girls to not talk to me or play with me.The one thing that I was mostly bullied for was my surname which I still hate to this day at the age of 16.The only thing that everyone agreed that I was good on was painting.I’ve never had any problems with my boy classmates I remember I had 2 other boys that were bullied just like me as friends.I remember the most severe experience with bullying was when I was 8 when we had an exercise for making a comic , i was the one drawing the pictures,On my pencil case there were spilled marker ink because of my bag getting wet from a water bottle and everyone started saying that I was nasty and my house is dripping in vomit.I hate that girl till this day.She’s the most evil child I’ve ever met I wish she suffers from everything she’s done to me and other children forever

my name is Casey and i am constantly bullied at school. I was always the “smaller one” in the way that it was easy to pick on me because i am short and large so i got picked on a lot and sometimes suicide would cross my mind. It never escalated to that but nonetheless i felt horrible and it got so bad i went to homeschooling for a while. I get that some people have “rough” lives at home but that does not give then an excuse to be mean. I was usually never physically bullied but it still happens whether it was a kick or a punch or a group of people beating me up but i did get beat up twice and got concussions. thank you for reading this; it feels good to “talk” about this.

One day I went to the toilet to do my business and written all over the stalls was mean stuff about me. Naomi stop skipping and do your work b—-.
