My Bullying Issues
Anonymous

I have been bullied since a young age, and it is not fun. I finally found this site a month or so after I was pulled out for home schooling due to bullying and my grades lowering because of the aforementioned. I recently was in a public school for my 7th grade year, and I would get bullied daily. I kid you not, DAILY I was being called names, shoved, teased, etc. which caused me to feel down about myself. I would be scared of what the next day would bring. I left the bullying behind me when I became home schooled, and now I realize what I had to do. I should have looked for a better solution rather than hiding away from the world.

Never ending
Anonymous

Since primary I have been bullied so when I moved up to high school I was excited it was a new start. One boy who I won’t name for his privacy decided off the bat he would make my life hell. He disrupts the class every day and everyone loves him so he just hits and pokes and pushes me he humiliates me infringing of the whole class and even my best friend is friends with him. I have told the teacher too many times and it only gets worse ingnoring him doesn’t work a now I’m in s2 and he has got way worse. Everyday he tells me and the whole class how he’s going to kill me, acid, fire and so much more he sexually harasses me and more I don’t know what to do and it still hasn’t stoped and I fear it never will.

Do I have friends??
Anonymous

Hi. These Boys at our school always walk behind me and say things such as oh look it’s loner em and things like that. Also this girl hates me and tells everyone how horrible I am a spreads rumours about me. Also I got in a fight with this girl and she always being sickly sweet to me but then talking about me behind my back. Whenever i find someone to trust they betray me and now I have trust issues. I hate my life and dread any social part of school.

people called me emo, gay, transgender. only two of things are true but it still hurt. I got bullied a lot. starting in 4th grade all they way to now (12th grade) there is this one boy who tells me to drink bleach and kill myself every day. I would stick up for myself but he has dirt on me, and I don’t want it getting out.

Growing Up
Anonymous

Growing up I couldn’t wait for the teen years, they were going to be the best! I was so wrong. Sixth grade I had been homeschooled due to bullying in my younger years, but I never thought that it would get worse in high school. Seventh grade I had been quiet and isolated, that was, until I became friends with a few girls who I thought were just like me. Over the years, these girls became the worst thing to happen to me, all but one, who I am still good friends with to this day. The “leader” of our group, brought us all down, especially me because of my innocence. By the time I got to high school, I was no longer the girl that I had remembered, I hated who I had become. Our “leader” got us to see the world in a different way, to me, I went from seeing the world as this amazing place where I was beautiful and could do anything, to seeing the world as a cruel drug addicted hell. I hated myself, was told to lose weight, told to wear makeup, and I obeyed. The pain hasn’t left me and I still struggle with bullying on a daily basis, but I’m getting better, and I hope you do too.

Thought i was alone…
Anonymous

I had to pull a face for eveyone else. I thought being upset and crying because what people said about me “was no big deal”. I didn’t tend to fit in because of my backround (muslim), i was told to go “bomb your family” “jump off the bridge” “kill yourself” etc. I had fake friends, i don’t really even want to call the “fake friends” because they treated me like s**t. I got into the habit of hurting myself. now i have found my real friends, they’re always there for me and i can always tell them my true deep feelings about anything. I just had to learn that i was not alone when i went through anything, and there are people that go through worse and handle it better and people that go through less but are hard to handle.

For the whole 13 years i’ve lived, I have to face emotional bullying since 4th grade. Everyone at school creates group of friends, and i am always the one being out. Also, they always say i’m a girl (which I’m not), because i don’t swear and i am kinder than anyone else in class, and even after i told my parents and teacher, the whole thing started over in middle school. I need someone to help me, and show some kindness in their heart.

This is My Fragmented Story
Anonymous

I got bullied up until 3rd through 8th grade. How was I bullied it really depended on which bully you were talking too. Third and Fourth I was treated as an invisible disease and almost everyone in my class would go out of their way to avoid and/or call me dirty. I would also get the usual girl drama, of two-faced girls. I also was usually picked out by teachers as a “a problem child” and a “tattle-tail”, so when would ask for help I would get “Why don’t you just ignore them?” “Are you sure that you can’t talk it out?,” they honestly didn’t think I hadn’t tried? I had some days I just wanted to stay home, and cry; my mom said she would think about homeschooling me on these day. Probably, the only reason that people stopped picking on me by 8th grade is because the friends I had. They were either super friendly, or scary enough that no one would *cuss* with me. I got to the point that I would seek out those like the past me, and I would stand up for them; just like my friends did for me. We created a group of misfits that would pack into a hallway at lunch, and talk about was ever we wanted, do whatever we wanted and welcomed anyone; without fear of persecution. If you can find a true friend keep that friend, don’t forget about other grades where you bullies don’t precede you. I’m currently going to college to be a doctor, so take that everyone that said I wouldn’t amount to anything!

I was bullied in 6th grade by two classmates who used to be my friends, i even became depressed because i didn’t even had any friends at all. since that experience I’ve learned a lot, i have learned to love myself and have confidence because i was very very shy and insecure. right now im in 8th grade and i have a lot of good friends and i never felt more happy. I’ve learned to let go and keep going, if you are a bullying victim i assure you that the best you can do is talk with your parents or someone who can help you, talk with your principal about the situation and she or he will help you. if the situation doesn’t get better i recommend you to change schools, changes sometimes are the best options (take that advice from me i moved from two cities).
