Real Teens Speak Out

Why do they bully?

I have been at the same school sense I was little but I never really ever had any problems until year 5. I had these two girls who were new. They hated me because when I was nine my dad died and they said I talked about him too much. That year I also lost the only friend I ever really had. She decided that those two girls were better and cooler than me. That’s when my depression really started and I really wasn’t really happy much that year. I always thought it was my fault so I pretty much quit talking and that stuck until year 8(which I’m in now). I found someone who would actually talk and play with me year 7 and she has been there ever since. I have six girls in my class and we all have been there for each other since we were little but I feel like I am still left out of things and they always add one more person whenever we are doing something and leave me out. So I also walk fast and I got a nickname and I get called it everyday. I try to ignore it but it hasn’t changed hearing it. I have been called names and so many other things . I just wish there was a way to escape it without harming myself and leaving my school. I still have depression and I don’t think that will ever change.

Why won’t it stop

it first happened when I first went to school that I hate very much my mom tried to take to me to the other school but it didn’t help Why won’t the pain go away

no names

when I was in 3thd grade i was bullied so much like name calling and this thing where they took my name and made it a sort of offensive game it hurt a lot to the point i wanted to kill my self

Fly away

Every since i was new to my elementary school in 3rd grade, i have been going to hell and back, god knows how many times. With a name like mine you don’t really see a day with out any hate. There was this girl who would always turn my day up side down. She would kick me down in the sand at recess, when it was time for us to go home she would push me into the lockers or slam my fingers into the lockers really hard. So hard to the point where i had to go to the Nurse’s office, or even the ER. Being a good and supportive mom she thought moving me to a new school would make me feel better. But going to a new school only made my life worse. I mean i did find friends who knew what i was going through. People you i can trust. But it was times where people just couldn’t catch a break. I mean i guess its better than going to the ER every other day. There was times in my life when i thought that i didn’t want to live, times when i wanted to die then, I would try every thing just to take my life away. But every time i failed because i have loving and supporting family and friends.

What Can I Do Now

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING AND THE PAIN WILL NOT GO AWAY!

We will change the world

I was always introverted, I lived in my own inner world and it was absolutely enough for me. But my classmates found out that I was weak, I could not protect myself, so they called me everything they wanted to call. They laughed and laugh at my ugliness, height, weight, the way I walk, the way I learn, I’ve experienced sexual harassment too. Now I’m in 10th grade and I go to the same school and it really destroys me. In childhood I used to think that I deserved to be bullied, because I was so incomplete. Then I used to think that they just joked and I had to endure it, but then I realized that no one deserves to be bullied. NO ONE does. I’ve been waiting for their growth, I believed that if they grew up, they would stop bullying me. But I was wrong. So I am going to change the school. I’m not as introverted as I used to be, now I’m communicative enough. I was afraid of going out because I strongly believed that everyone would laugh at me, I deserved to die, because incomplete beings like me were bad for earth. Than I started to take extra-lessons like math and English. No one bullied me there, so I realized that I’m not incomplete. But still, I hated myself, I wanted to kill myself, I was depressive and desperate, I haven’t even had childhood. Now I know that I’m not this bad but it’s still hard to socialize and be confident. They killed my abilities, desire to be alive. I’ve never been happy, because of their jokes and offenses.
I want to tell you, NO ONE DESERVES TO BE BULLIED. You aren’t incomplete, bulliers are incomplete, they just want to hide their scars and complexes. You’re amazing, and you have only one life, so spend it happily, because you are worth of it. Don’t let anyone shake your confidence. And if you see someone is bullied and you can protect this human, protect him/her, because so you save lifes. Make bullied people that they aren’t alone, we are the ones who really can eliminate bullying from the world. WE WILL CHANGE THE WORLD, because we CAN.

bullying is bad!

Stay strong!!

Hi, everyone I am 17 years old and I’ve been bullied verbally mostly my whole life at school. I’ve been called many names, not wanted in groups, excluded from games and everything. I never told anyone about my bullying problem. I felt like if I did that’ll make it worst. I just wanna tell everyone that bullying is not ok if you ever experienced it, seen it, or know someone. Let your voice be heard tell a teacher or parent guardian. Your not alone I promise you!

Bullying gets real

Okay I don’t know how to really start this. But I have been bullied since the age of 5. First it started off with two friends of mine physically bullying me and teasing me about having to wear glasses. Then in Secondary school it was verbal bullying because they would spread rumours about me. I’m now in college and it still hasn’t stopped. My so called best friend keeps mocking me about my disability and saying that I am making my phobia up and that I keep making fun when I’m not. So yeah that’s my story.

Stripped

My freshman year of high school, was a milestone that for the rest of my life I would never forget. Every emotion of figuring out who I was and where I fit into the world was just a minimal part of my life. But my biggest fear of being bullied came with an exceedingly high cost that I would continue to pay for the rest of my life.

It started out with just the normal tendencies of bullying, name calling, and poking etc. but my instinct of ignoring it only made the problem worsen. Until the moment when I was literally threatened during lunch period. We had bullying prevention talks all the time, so I knew going to a teacher I trusted or administrator was the way to solve this issue.

After addressing the threat to a teacher, and promised everything would be taken care of, I proceeded about my day like normal and took my seat in class, only the bullying and outbursts were magnified and I remained speechless the whole entire time, until the bell rang to switch classes and I waited till every last person except for the teacher was out of the classroom, then I made my way out only then to be assuaged from behind.

As I was attacked I let out screams, but everyone around remained frozen, and no teacher came to break up the fight. My friends just stood while I was spinning around on a merry go round watching people remain frozen like someone had a stopped the hands of time.

Finally a friend came through and guided me back into the classroom and there I was facing the teacher I just left to only hear her say, “sweetie was that you?” The rest is school protocol to assess my wounds and then get me to the office so administrators could contact parents, talk to witnesses etc. after my mom’s arrival she decided to press charges against my attacker, which then lead to the rest of my high school years to be bullied by my attacker’s friends or people who thought I was weak for not hitting back. It was this moment in time when I felt like I was one the biggest stage in the world, stripped in front of the entire world.
