So I’m fifteen and have never had a great time with my friends since year 8, but in year 10 is when it really started going down hill. Nearly my entire group started bullying me, it wasn’t anything verbal or physical, in fact it was the complete opposite, they would treat me lesser of them, like I wasn’t really their friend, excluding me and things like that. This one girl, let’s call her Lucy, she started completely throwing me off, she acted like I wasn’t even there, she would cut in front of me blocking me from talking to my friends, she wouldn’t even talk to me when I spoke to her, she “bragged” to the rest of my friends about how she deleted my number so she wouldn’t have to respond to my texts. The worst thing about her is that when ever she needs something from me will will act like I’m her best friend and will treat me like an actual friend but as soon as she didn’t need me any more or if I needed something from her she would completely ignore me. Im posting this because a lot of the bullying stories are verbal and physical but exclusion is also a form of bullying. I never thought I was being bullied until my parents and my councillor told me that what Lucy was doing was a form of bullying.
