Facing it alone shouldn’t stop you.
January 17, 2017
Hi, I have been bullied since kindergarten. Yes, they say that’s normal for a child, but it was so unexpected and shouldn’t have happened anyway. In 2nd grade, I got threatened to be killed. I was scared. I was only 7. I didn’t know what to do. By the 5th grade, I moved to a new school. I knew I wasn’t going to fit in just like my old school, but I had to go no matter what. In the 6th grade, it went worse. I never told anyone. I knew it was no use. Why? Because many adults think we exaggerate or something. So I faced it alone for about 6-8 years. It was horrible as well as having to face family problems. But now, I am stronger than ever. Nobody messes with me. I feel….GREAT!
My bullying story
January 17, 2017
I started getting bullied when I was 12 I just entered middle school I was super happy to go there and I finally made some friends the best group of friends well I thought they were great at the time. A couple of weeks went by and people were calling me names (fat,worthless,ugly, etc) they even told me that I didn’t deserve to live. I t didn’t stop when I got home from school they cyberbullied me also. It went on for almost 3 years. Every year it got worse and worse. Finally I got help.

Relationship and friendship issues
January 17, 2017
Sometimes I feel like just giving up in total as I feel like nobody understands how I feel. People know how I suffer with depression and they still treat me like I’m supposed to know what I’m doing. We all make mistakes and even when we try to admit to them people will always hold a grudge and hate you no matter what you try and do. And it’s worse when bullying and harassment comes from people who used to be your friends…
Mean Comments
January 17, 2017
After breaking up with a guy in high school, his friends decided to be mean to me. Whenever I walked by one of them would say something rude but I decided to take the high road and not comment to them. The final straw came when a guy who used to be my friend turned on me. I had to get by this group of boys to leave the cafeteria, so I was polite and said “excuse me”. The guy who used to be my friend said “there is no excuse for you”. I am an adult now and I still clearly remember that cutting remark. I don’t think he realizes how his comment affected me, but it changed my opinion of him forever and it still bugs me to this day.

Bullied because my relative is the teacher
January 12, 2017
Hi, I always had friends and was very popular in school until I reached the 9th grade. My relative was the teacher and everyone hated her. My friends turned against me to join the bullies in hating my relative and me. They talked about my relative teacher to my face everyday. They did it just to hurt me. My relative teacher was a really really good teacher. The students just insisted to hate her though. She never treated me any different, nor did she give me an advantage on grades. I didn’t even have the highest grade in her class! My classmates insisted that she was giving me the answers at home. I never told my family members how I was getting harrassed at school. My ex friend even made up lies on my relative to get her fired. My ex friend tried to play the victim. She disrespected my relative teacher (while disrespecting me at the same time) and went home and got her mom involved. It was so ugly. Just my luck, I had another relative as a teacher the following year, and everyone hated her as well! It was the same cycle. What kind of luck was I born into? Anyone ever heard of a story similar to mine?
It just isn’t right.

Why do people bully? So they can be on top of the world and step on you like you are the ground? Or, have they been bullied inside? People bully me everyday based on my clothes, they bully me based on my race, for sexuality (heterosexual). People bully based on anything so they can make theirselves feel better in life. If you are reading this, don’t ever give up and do not quit being your true self for cowards that probably don’t know your middle name. This is not my story. This is everyone’s story.
You’re Not Alone
January 10, 2017
I have been bullied ever since third grade. The bully is still coming to my school, a Christian school, but everything you hear about Christian school are the same about a public school. I have been thinking about suicide, or running away. After reading other people’s stories have made me think differently. This world needs less bullies and more love. I believe that everyone who has been bullied or is a bully, become friends. And don’t think that I’m one of those annoying protesters, I just believe we need to work together to make it so people want to go to school.
I Was Bullied Too
January 9, 2017
You could never imagine that some of the people you see around have been bullied, you may not expect some of them to be the bullies either. Thinking back to the past you can see how a lot of things may have happens to you. Even in kindergarten you wouldn’t expect kids to be so mean, they actually can call you names and exclude you from the little girl groups. First grade you wouldn’t expect kids to slowly pull away just because you enjoy things they didn’t or to hash on you for liking some more of the boyish things, for not being able to read a certain level of book. Second grade you wouldn’t expect your classmates parents to tell their kids to stay away from you, and yet they do. They warn their kids about how you get sick too much so to stay away, keep you at arms reach. Not realizing they’re causing a young child to lose friends and that’s when they start feeling like they aren’t good enough. Third grade hits and man it seems way better. More people have been accepting. But when this group of 3 girls starts to call you names for not having clothes that are best in shape your feelings get hurt. Fourth and fifth grade must be something, I was ready to go to middle school. Why would these rumors start when you’re just in fourth and fifth grade, people being mean about your nose and how you haven’t started to grow boobs like the other girls. Spreading rumors of you having lice and liking girls. How could fourth and fifth graders think of these things. Middle school wasn’t any better. When you get picked on for the way your clothes had looked and how you aren’t able to have sleepovers. I had parents who smoked as did my grandparents and I got picked on for the way I had a lingering smell of cigarette smoke on my jackets and coats. It would hurt when your own friends, who you thought were friends would pick on you for personal things, who would judge you for how you acted and how you dressed. The bus rides to home and school were the worse for kids to pick on you and call you names. After I moved 7th grade wasn’t so bad until people tried to get me beat up. 8th grade after I dyed my hair red and the color faded to orange I got asked to make burgers for people because after all I was that Wendy’s chick. These may not seem like bad things to you, there’s more to name, deeper thing that have happened but I was still hurt and affected. Getting food thrown at you isn’t pleasant. Now a days nobody says anything, to my face that is. Being a junior in highschool I don’t let it bother me anymore. I am who I am and if you aren’t pleased with me I’m sorry but I’m not here to please you or here for entertainment. Keep your head up and don’t listen to the mean negative things anyone says. It gets better, it may not be today or tomorrow but you will find acceptance and you will find friends who are there. This life is worth fighting for. After all it is the only one you have, why not try and make it the best. Stay strong.
