October 26, 2017
During my 6th grade year I was bullied really bad by a group of boys they made me feel like i was no one.I told my mom but she did not care it really hurt and still to this day I am being bullied
How bullying has affected my outlook on myself.
October 26, 2017
It started when I was in 4th grade. I was never a popular girl. I did my own thing. I was very friendly and would talk to anyone, but other people did not want to talk to me. I used to be very obsessed with the cartoon “my little pony”. I used to talk about it in school, bring little pony toys to class, draw them, and act like ponies at recess. This caused a lot of trouble for me. Nobody wanted to be my friend, everyone called me weird and said I was a baby because my love of the show. This hurt because I was only doing what I love and being myself , just to find out i’d be rejected because of who I was. Fast forward to middle school. I became the quiet “dark” type of girl. I had been struck with the very bad and awkward side of going through puberty so as you can guess, I was not very physically appealing. I was bullied for my looks. Called ugly for not looking like the pop star and rap girls everyone seemed to worship. I was also avoided and bullied for my interests. I was into anime and drawing typical unpopular “geeky” things. still TO THIS DAY I have a bad rap because of being myself in 6th grade. 7th grade it got a bit more serious. I started wearing dark colors and listening to metal, rock, alternative. That kind of stuff. Obviously, I was bullied for this too. Everyone else listened to rap, which isn’t a bad thing considering I listen to rap now, but still doesn’t mean its okay to put others down for their taste. I was called “emo” “evil” . I got punched in the arm for no reason one day. No reason. I’ve never talked to this kid in my life. I was antisocial. Friendless, awkward. I ended up very suicidal due to this, and because of an abusive relationship ( but thats nobody’s business) . I started self harming. Self esteem basically non existent. I felt wrong for being myself. Ugly. Weird. Rejected. Why couldn’t I be like the pretty popular girls? Tons of friends, good social skills, beautiful. Everything I wasnt. This only made me hate myself more. I envied what they had. In 8th grade I attempted to change for other people and I hated it. I wanted to be myself so bad, but knew id be rejected. I am now in 9th grade but am still greatly affected by what happened. I have many friends now and im not bullied anymore. Avoided and picked on by past schoolmates? Yes. But not bullied anymore. And im greatly thankful for that. I still have self esteem issues, anxiety, and depression, but I’ve been getting better. I dont self harm anymore. So yeah, thats my story. All I can say is please, please dont harass others for their looks, interests, ect. Some people dont care and can handle it, but others will be incredibly affected by it like I was and still am. Please be a decent person.

Beat that bully!
October 26, 2017
I have been bullied for nine years by someone who I thought was my best friend. Her other best friend had also been bullied but we were both too scared to speak up. When we did everything got worse. She made fun of us for everything from our bodies to after school activities. The school got involved and we had to go to the councillor lots. Now she throws food at us, hits us, lies about us, makes fun of us and throws rubbish at us.
You are not alone

From victim to criminal to straightening my life up
October 24, 2017
It still gets to me, at times, being bullied and the memories. Even when I became the bad guy I so desperately wanted to become, to prove to them, even though they weren’t around, that I am strong and
It took a big fall hitting rock bottom for me to get back up, and fix myself up, but here I am.
I may be able to forgive, but I will not forget. Above all, I I will not let it define me. I will never to become a pushover they wanted me to remain, the victim I might have once been, for a couple of years, but I will not let it define me.. as it must not define any one.
So here I am, somewhat successful, but still paying for it, everything I did.
To the kids, do not let it take over you, and stand up for yourselves, there is absolutely nothing the bullies can do to hurt you. Don’t let the bullies define you.
To the rest of the world, the teachers above all, violence is not the most preferable answer, but to a child, it may very well be so, when all your methods have failed and none of it puts an end to the bullying. Stop the bullies, do not go after the bullied! Find a way!
A seriously bullied teenager is at risk by virtue of the bullying alone, aside to all the social and economic contexts.
Bullying will scar us for life.
Decades after, a bullying victim will be measured up to it no matter what office they hold. So stop.
Drowning in Pain
October 20, 2017
Growing up I was bullied because my voice was deeper, I was taller then the other kids in my class. But a lot of the bullying surround my LD. I was born with a learning disorder called Non Verbal Learning Disorder. My brain was wired different than everyone else so it took my longer to learn things or to complete schoolwork. I had trouble reading facial expressions and body language so I would walk up to a kid and start talking to them not knowing that the kid didn’t want to talk to me at all. I walked into situations unaware of what might happen. I got called stupid, retarded. Kids would insult me and gang up and me and spread rumors about me around the school. It was awful and horrible. Everyday something new happened to me. But I came home every day with the same feeling of embarrassment and shame. I cried every day and begged my mom not to send me back to school. The bullying started in grade one and ended in grade nine. Being bullied made me become stronger and wiser.
Idk if this is bullying but
October 20, 2017
It all started when I had an argument with one of my friends because she called me a name, I didn’t really take notice of it but then she started talking about me to everyone. She started leaving me out and pretending I wasn’t there. I had a friend who always used to stay with me and we all were in the same friend group. We sit as one big table so basically me and her would sit on the table but away from each other. Me and my friend were speaking about something that happened a few years ago with our old friends and she randomly assumed we were talking about her. Another person out of the friend group starting giving me dirty looks to me and my friend too.
Skip a few weeks later.
I got really close with someone else in the friend group and I told her everything about what was happening and if I should tell the teachers, I also told her about personal problems that I never tell anyone. After the weekend, I noticed something different. I tried to talk to them but they all just blocked me out or just gave me really short answers. I sat with them at lunch and I was at the end while my ‘friends’ were at the other end of the table. I moved closer to them so I could join in the conversation but they turned their back on me and started talking about things. I got ready to go bcos my friends were and I tried catching up and they just kept ignoring me.
I knew that the friend I got close to told everything I said to them and made them all turn on me. They all started hating me and yh.
I could always hear them talking about me and when they would walk past me, they would say things to eachother like “she’s so ugly”. I didn’t really understand why it happened.
Now it’s still not sorted. It’s been a year. There was another girl who I was okay with cos we had the same interests and she wasn’t like the others. She liked reading and things like that. We used to do this learning thing on the weekends and that was the only time we actually spoke. She always avoided me at school.
I literally feel like everyone hates me in school. I have no friends in my lessons, everyone hates me because my old friends were popular and obviously they spread rumours.’
I’m also antisocial.
I hate everyone.
Last Year
October 20, 2017
Last year I was friends with someone who is bullying me now. She was calling me names, snapping at me, and spreading rumors about me. I tried to stop it, but nothing worked. Even if I told an adult they still wouldn’t do anything. The point is bullying’s NOT ok and hurts people really bad. I hope that nobody is a bully. Please don’t bully and you are one of those people getting bullied speak up NOW. Don’t keep quiet because that does not do anything to help you and symbolizes that bullying is ok when it’s not, so please speak up if you are one of the people being bullied. #Don’t be a bully
IM NOT WANTED
October 20, 2017
Everyone bullies me whether they know it or not they insult me and I can´t do anything about it because I’ḿ the girl known for never frowning for always having people around me. They would call me poor because of the clothes I wear and ugly for being myself. The truth is though I can be my own bully sometimes. I have really bad depression and people dont know that. Ive always been scared to tell people. It has always mad me feel like im not wanted because on top of being bullied at school it also happens at home.
