Real Teens Speak Out

My story on being bullied

Growing up getting bullied for so many years was probably the worst 8 years of my life because in those years I had no friends… I never knew how it felt to go outside to play, sleepovers, football games, school dances, etc. I was always the quite one who always kept to herself but I guess that was a bad thing to some people. I always remembered I would always just want to be in my room & some days I would ask my mom if I could just stay home because I felt safer at home then I did in school. Mom always had my back though was always at the school even though sometimes I didn’t want her to cause I felt like it would make things worse for me. Got invited to sleepovers so people could cut off my hair while I was sleeping, getting threats texted to me, etc. I wouldn’t wish bullying upon anybody, it literally is the worst thing. But what people don’t understand is that nobody speaks up they see it happening and nobody helps that person. Schools don’t take serious action to bullying i experienced it. I couldn’t wait to just graduate because I wanted nothing to do with anybody & trust me I counted graduation down every single day. Nobody deserves to feel like they are worthless or feel like they don’t have anybody. If you see bullying happening take action to it before it’s too late, speak up and have a voice because I never did and I regret it. I was always so scared but you can make a change by helping and speaking out. Today I am stronger then ever and what people say about me has no effect on me. I am who I am and I wouldn’t change for anyone. #ProudOfWhoIAm

I dont know any good future

Im 16 now, but my boyfriend emotional abused me, I was so loyal, he pretended to love me so he could exploit me. I always end up alone, I have never had friends that stand by me, I always try to offer my best positive self, but no one ever cares. I feel like i can never be successful.

Being bullied for my appearance

Hi I am 12 years old (Year 8) yes I get bullied a lot not just by my brothers but friends too I get abused a lot pushed around punched kicked and everything more because they think I allow it. I am too scared to stand up for my self because of what might happen after. I used to go home crying sometimes I didn’t go home at all till about 8pm because I was so scared and angry so I used to sit at the park by my self or go for a walk in the forest not scared of what might come my way. When I got home I got yelled at for not coming home straight away So I would go to bed. In the morning I would walk to school and try put make up on my face to cover up the bruises and cuts that they gave me I still get it but not as bad and guy’s if you are reading this I swear!!! something good will come out of all of this I swear they are only trying to make our lives miserable because they’re lives are. ignore them stand up for your self or tell someone who can help I swear it makes everything go away and you will be fine take my advice it really works thank you for reading.

Bullied for my medical problem

At the moment I’m 14 and I get bullied as I have a medical condition and I didn’t really want people knowing but when I got in to high school people started noticing that I was having a lot of time off and when I was at school I smelt a bit and was always changing clothes during the school day. Then I made a really good friend and decided to let her know of my problem and then the next day everyone knew and they were calling me names. to make it worse I had no friends now I have a few friends who are reserved like me my old friends hate me and are always talking and laughing about me but I tend to just concentrate on my school work

My story

I have Treacher Collins syndrome and was born without any ears, a receding jaw and no cheekbones. I’ve had more than 30 operations including a jaw distraction, which involves breaking the jaw on a daily basis in order to bring it forward. It has been very painful, and it’s not a nice feeling to be sitting at home in pain.

But almost worse than the surgery, was the bullying that I endured at primary school. During the final year of school two boys started picking on me. They called me things like ‘ugly’ and ‘troll’, and other really horrible names. There were times when I would run out of the classroom and sit in the corridor sobbing.

It got worse and worse. They started pushing me around and one of them pinned me up against the wall in the school corridor. I didn’t know why they were treating me like that and it was an awful time. I would come home every day upset and crying. It made me feel anxious and unhappy.

One night I went to go and see my friend. She only lived around the corner from me so I walked round on my own. As soon as I stepped into her road, I saw the two boys standing there. They saw me and started chasing me. I ran home as fast I could. I could have been run over by a car, because I raced out into the road without looking, I was that scared. I got home and I was crying my eyes out. I felt upset, distraught and really emotional.

After my parents went to see the head teacher, the bullies were dealt with and I was moved into a different class.

When I was 14 I sent inappropriate photos to my first boyfriend (yeah I know I was stupid and I regret it) after dating him for few months we had this huge fight and then he leaked those very personal pictures.  There were so many rumors and gossips going on about me. But I still had 3 friends that I could really trust and I stopped caring about all the other haters because it’s just a waste of time getting depressed. I worked hard on my school work so I could distract myself. If you’re suffering like me, please please please know that it’s not going to last forever.

Bullied

I have been bullied since 3rd grade.. Just being teased and annoyed. They started calling me ugly and more. On the last day of 4th grade 3 people starting grabbing books from the book shelf and throwing them at me. By 5th grade I started standing up for myself.
