Bullying Really Hurts
Anonymous

I have been bullied my whole life, from first grade to present day(9th grade). Bullying is not fun, it really hurts. They say “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”. Well I’m here to tell you that’s a lie. I get bullied everyday about everything; me being overweight, how dark I am, how deep my voice is. Everyday I go through this, but I have learned to deal with this. The only reason people bully you is because there jealous of you, so that means your doing something right. So remember ,”Be Happy, Be Healthy”. So Slay till your hair turns gray.

Friends Can Be Bullies Too
Anonymous

One of my friends really hurt my feelings. I told her how I felt and she didn’t even bother to say sorry. She said it was just a “joke”. Then she goes on Instagram, rants about how I’m overdramatic and that I’m self centered. She says that I started everything and was making things dramatic, even though she’s the one who wrote this whole paragraph on social media. She says that I complained that people think I’m self centered then she states that she never called me that. Even though she clearly did. She even said so on the very last line of her paragraph rant “she thinks the world is all about her”. It really hurt me. I was mad, I snapped back. But that didn’t help with anything, I just made myself even more angry. My point is, if someone says bad stuff about you, don’t say anything back. A bully just wants attention. Their main goal is to make you angry and if u clap back at them, you are just proving to them that they got you. The more you react, the more they will attack.

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.

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.
