How I have overcame bullying myself
Anonymous

I’ve always been bullied for things like my weight, having facial hair, having mild acne at times, having teeth that were too white after getting braces off and so on. I do band at my high school in South Carolina and still there I never could escape it. Keep doing what you do best is something that I followed with and I remain thankful and blessed for the group of individuals that stayed true to me after I was threatened to be killed by a former classmate, from being assaulted while in my U.S. History class, and so forth. Your future is coming faster than you know it and I never believed it so don’t even both acknowledging what anyone has to say about you or what they try to do to get your feelings messed up. You will make it far if you avoid any negative or toxic people.

Life of a victim

I care because bullying can be a very serious thing in everyone’s life. Growing up as a shy girl, I’ve been bullied a lot of times, by tons of people. I’ve always thought I was pretty, but people seem to think differently. 🙁 As a very sensitive person like myself I tend to never let go of the hatred people have for me. It always pops up in my head no matter what time in the day, so it makes me feel depressed about everything and I even get grouchy when it happens and turn on others, I’m just such caring, sweet person that it hurts to get pushed around a lot for being nice. I mean why me!? Being too nice has its good and bad effects. Sometimes you can make a persons’ day other times they can walk right over you.  I try helping people get out of those problems and I love to inspire them. To all of you who are insecure, it may be dark now, but your future will be brighter. Keep your head up and think positive. You’re in God’s hands and he has big plans for you. Stay strong 😉

5th grade was the first year I had ever experienced being bullied. The first year I experienced depression; suicidal thoughts. I didnt know what I did wrong, why I was being treated this way. I realized that the only reason I let what people say get ti me, was because deep down, I believed them. I was not confident in myself. I didnt talk didnt smile. I just wanted to go to bed and never wake up. But as I got older I realzed there is nothing wrong with me.Yeah I’m not the prettiest, or the smartest girl. Wherever I go theres always going to be someone prettier or smarter than me. but that shouldnt affect the way I see myself. In a way I’m glad I was bullied. I wouldnt be as STRONG and CONFIDENT in my self as I am today. In 5th grade I ws bullied. It ws lame to be weird. Now I’m a freshman in highschool, and its cool to be weird.

bullying first started in grade 9 I started at a new school and hung with all the popular girls I thought that they were my friends however it didn’t take long before they stabbed me in the back. Their was this one girl that didn’t like me from the day I arrived. She got jealous when I was invited to parties and became friends with guys that she liked. she got to the point where she would trip me , send me abusive messages and told me to kill myself more than once the more that I thought about the more I thought that I was worthless eventually all my so called friends believed her and told me that I had to leave the group I was shattered as they were meant to be my friends. I began to hang out with the popular boys which only increased her bullying she got so jealous she made stories up. when it came to reporting the bullying she denied the whole thing but thankfully I had messages and witnesses and she got suspended and never came back to school.

*names have been changed
It all started in middle school, where I was the new kid in school. Being the new kid wasn’t easy, but the fact I had brown skin, is what made me stand out. I was free of bullying the first 2 months of school. But it started as soon as my teacher gave us assigned seating. I sat across from Joe. He was popular, he was cool, he was all that. Maybe it was my skin, he didn’t like. Maybe it was my accent, or maybe it was me. I never knew. He called me the most ugliest words to me. One day it was fat, the next day it was fat and ugly, the next day it got more demeaning. I don’t even know what to do, but I let my tears in. Then one day when the teacher was gone, he called me a fat, ugly, snitch. I broke out crying. The person who sat down next to me, Casey, told Joe to stop. I was beyond surprised, but happy that someone actually had the guts to say stop. I thought Joe would stop and realize his mistake but no. The moment Casey said stop, his eyes were locked in with mine. I was in big trouble. I was, I was pushed down the stairs on the way to lunch. It was awful. But Casey was always there, I called her my savior and till this day, she has always been my best friend.

Bullied for taste in music
Anonymous

When I was in Year 6 i used be bullied a lot. The ‘popular’ girls would call me a weirdo and freak in front of my face and behind my back. Or they would spread rumours. Every lunchtime, our class all play a ball game called ‘Champ’ and they would deliberately make sure the ball hit my body and then say oh sorry. I never told the teacher and now I regret how I reacted to it. Then when i went to secondary school in Year 7 I got bullied by loads of people and our school was INFESTED with ‘popular’ girls they also called me a freak and weirdo for the music I listened to which is rock and metal and they always spread rumours that I was a satanist or stuff along that line. The amount of times I went to the toilets to cry is too much to count on my fingers. One time, they all cornered me when I stood up to them and said you don’t know me so don’t spread rumours. Then one time this girl came up to me in the locker room and punched me straight in the stomach. No-one stood up for me. They don’t even remember that I was in Year 7 coz I was so shy, 3 years later I still listen to my music prouder than ever. yes I still get called Satanist or weirdo but whatever I am proud of what I wear and listen to but the said thing is when I tell my friends about this, they do not believe because we have a teacher who is a ‘goth’ and listens to the same band as me and they think I am copying him and continually tease me for my bracelets and me liking black but now i feel I am not bullied as much as I was before

When i was in the 5th grade i was bullied. i would get these texts from my cousin and kids that went to my school or kids that just didn’t like me. People would call me all these ugly names. Kids would make fun of my last name and the fact that i was held back a grade! I’m still pushed around and i’m in the 7th grade but i always get help! Trust me being bullied isn’t fun so if you see tell someone or stand up to the bully! Nobody likes a bully! It can lead to to self harm or suicidal thoughts so if you see get someone to help stop it!
