Real Teens Speak Out

Gender

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

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).

they caused my anxiety and depression disorders to this day!

I was bullied from grade one until the end of grade eight. They would call me rude names dont want too go into detail… They didn’t care how they made me feel at all… I had no one to talk to about it so I just bottled everything… I hurt so much that I wanted to end it all!!

My life ( getting bullied)

All my life I been bullied. It got harder and harder each day nothing would work. Until I hit sophomore year of high school I met some people and tried really hard to get their trust and since the first day of school I stopped being bullied! You just need to find true people that’s actually really want to listen to you and help you. Then you will start being open and helping other people being teased bullied etc…

The worst point in my life

I was bullied ,it knocked my confidence and caused me to suffer with depression ,after 7-8 months of bullying I’m glad to say now it’s all over ,I went to a school where these girls just wouldn’t leave me alone ,they constantly started on me ,shouted at me abuse and chucked things at me,would wait out side the gates for me at school ,threaten me and I even got attacked,getting bullied will always be a big part of my life,I will always want to get revenge but I’ve had to learn that they will get their own karma ,I have anxiety and I’ll never forget the horrible things they said to me and how they made me feel like I was worthless and I wasn’t good enough for anyone ,their voices still go round in my head,it was 10 against 1 ,I felt so isslolated and alone ,I’m happy to say that even though I’m not happy now and what happened has scarred me but I’ve got through it and I’m proud I didn’t let them get what they wanted,I’ve learnt that you have to sick up for yourself no matter what people might say or think it doesn’t matter,you should never let yourself be the victim,and don’t give up because it will get better.

No Excuses

What I want people to know, is even the strongest and popular and talented people get bullied. It’s not always the shy kids or the weirdos. Everyone can get bullied, even in a tiny private school like my own. I could’ve seemed like the person least likely to be bullied – I was popular, tall, athletic, kept excellent grades, could sing really well, and went to a small town private school – but I was still bullied.
If someone had stood up for me, said one simple word – stop – to that girl the first time she said something to me, I’m definitely sure my whole year would have shaped out differently. But, now I see how different it could’ve been, I realise if I had stood up for myself things could’ve worked out differently too. Looking back, I definitely should have told a teacher. And while it’s too late to do that now, I will certainly do that in the future. I think part of my issue was I made too many excuses for myself. I’d think, nah she’s just having a bad day, or, it will stop soon, or, it will only make things worse if I tell someone. They’re all excuses, and nothing excuses bullying. A bad day might be a reason for some behaviour, but it’s not an excuse.
For any teachers reading this, while I know you can’t account for everything, I think you should know a lot of things happen when you’re not looking. As I said, you definitely can’t account for everything, but if you gave time for students to answer a simple question like “I wish my teacher knew”, it could change students’ lives.
And for those of you who are reading this that have been bullied, I’m sorry. You never ever, and will never ever deserve it. I hope you find the strength to overcome it and to not let it control you. Please tell someone about it, because I know now it would have made things better for me so I’m sure it will make things better for you.
For the people who are reading this who haven’t been bullied, please please please always stand up for people. Just saying stop to someone could change someone’s life. Be the person I never had.
And to all of you, please know that nothing ever excuses bullying.

Is it enough to say it’s bullying ?

hello everyone, yeah so I don’t know if it’s enough to say it’s bullying there are people in my school and some boys are distracting me in class and idk when it would be the right time to say something and the other thing this other girl my friend she is also getting bullied I have standed up for her now there kinda picking on me but tbh I care more about my friends than myself 🙂

builled

i have been bullied since fourth grade and they make fun of my body and face i need help nobody has my side or my back i need it to stop but nothing ever works please help me

It just never ends

I have been to 3 different schools. The first school i was there from kindergarten to second grade. I only had one friend who wasn’t really a friend. I already felt lonely in second grade. Then I changed schools I was at this school from 3rd to 5th grade. It was the worst school ever the kids were horrible but the teachers were meaner. now from 6th grade to now (7th grade) girls bully me they call me weird and call me other names they also make up rumors about me that aren’t true. I come to find out that people think i’m different because kids these days want to become professional sport players but I want a tony award, people bully me because i love performing;singing, dancing, and acting. Its my life,girls make fun of me for something I love, for something that makes me special. I want to be on broadway but who cares what other people think i’m still being bulled I just got a rude instagram comment but It doesn’t bring me down and it shouldn’t bring you down because you have to know that your better than them
