i was bullied almost everyday until i got to high school. it started when i was about six years old amongst my out of school friends.then started to happen in school particularly one kid.i was bullied about how i look, how i spoke, how i think and because of what i knew. after about 6 years of bullying the summer before 7th grade i got depression not getting out of bed for about three months and also i got very sick. my bullying did not end but after those 3 months i cut all my friends and decided if i was going to be myself i was going to have to do it alone. i got in therapy telling my mother i only needed to talk to someone (she did not knew about my depression until i was over it). after therapy i decided that i needed to share my story. i am know in my freshmen year at high school, i have almost no bullying in my life and i am preparing an anti-bully workshop for schools to use

I wasn’t bullied all through elementary or middle school. about a month into high school as a freshman (9th grade) I made this friend and her boyfriend started to talk to me and flirted with me. and I’m very self conscious and I liked it when boys gave me attention so I didn’t tell her about because I liked how he talked to me. he made me feel special. eventually she found out and he broke up with her because she lied a lot in the relationship. me and him got closer and during this she posted bad pictures of me that I understand I shouldn’t have even taken. the next day at school everyone was calling me names like slut and whore and laughing at me and saying I deserved it. it got to much and my mom took me out of public school and I’m now in homeschool with one friend who has been with me through everything.

Bullied for a Compassion

If you’re being bullied for something you love to do, do it. Don’t let them get to you. Don’t let them make you see everyone a different way.

Not what it used to be

i was going to a school on the Rez ( in Wyoming) in 2nd to 3rd grade and never had a problem with many of the students and i knew all the staff and they knew me as well. well i had to move back to Minneapolis and within a few years we moved back to the Rez and i was so happy to learn i was going back. on my first day it was GREAT! my old friends seemed happy to see me again, but then it worsened within days. practically everyone was against me, i had this boy who would follow me around calling me ugly and other names in Arapaho. honestly i got sick of it all so i took action one day, i fought him and got in trouble. i told them the situation, and apparently the boy that was harassing me only bullied me because supposedly he greeted me and i told him to ´f*** off´ but i have never met this boy in my life. sooner or later i moved schools because i was threatened to be jumped by a group of people who did not like the fact i fought back.
i´m doing better now that i left, years later i made plenty of friends who tell me positive things and keep my going. take action (and i dont mean fight the person lol you could though) and tell someone! lots of love, i hope you are having a good day.

I have been bullied since elementary. It never went away. I am so terrified to even walk through the front doors of the schools. I am scared that they will just bully me and ruin my life. There is just this one kid that he has to make it hard for me. He will stop at nothing if that means he can bully me. I almost did something really stupid but I didn’t. I found a councilor who had helped me to stay away from negative stuff. She stopped seeing me and I went back to my depressing mood. I just shut down when people bully me any more. I stop talking to people. I stay inside a lot more. I even try to stay out of school.

When I was 9 I was bullied for a whole year. I was bullied pushed around name called and more . The people who were bullying me actually started cussing at me and hurting me physically it got so bad I wanted to change schools I told my parents and the principal it kept on going until the end of the year ! that’s when I got assigned to a new school with my friends .Now I am happy and not doubting myself at all and that is my story.

Pain no one understands
Anonymous

Every day I go to school, being afraid what will happen today. Every day I struggle to not to cry because of bullying. It started in 6th grade primary school. I had a lot of friends when I was younger but as I became older everyone started changing. Girls started talking all about makeup, boys about football other stuff. It was sad watching everyone go away from me. They kept insulting me and bullying me. Physically and mentally. It was pain. They said things like this for example. One day I was sitting on bench in school gym because I wasn’t able to train. I was sitting next to one girl who broke her arm so she couldn’t train either. This guy came all out of sudden told me to move that I don’t deserve to sit here or live and pushed me away like I was some old toy. Each day that guy keeps bullying me more and more. Its getting worse by the day. Boys started beating me up. I was strong enough to fight back but I didn’t want to. I didn’t see a reason to fight back. It was all getting to me, so bad. It still keeps happening every day. Just want to say that bullying can really hurt some people, especially people like me. And it has to stop.
