Bullied and Found a Way Forward

Anonymous

When I was 13 I was just like any other teenager working hard hoping to achieve and succeed my goals. It got to like January and this is when the bullying had started. At first I was called names and then actions were also associated with the names. It really hurt my feelings, I felt lonely and isolated and felt that I was worthless and had no meaning to continue living. Everyday at school as me and the bullies were mostly in the same lessons, the bullying had just continued. I didn’t tell any teacher because I didn’t want to get my family involved but I sometimes wish I did. Anyways, when it was June time the bullies were no longer in the same lessons as me, so it had sort of come to an end of having to put up with them everyday and every lesson. Then in July I tried my best to concentrate on my work and all of sudden it felt as if things were actually beginning to change without the help of anybody. I felt that when I was around the bullies I sort of felt scared about what they were going to do but otherwise I started feeling a little better. Then many times in exams my teachers commented I have the accurate knowledge to succeed, this gave me hope to continue living life and to slowly move away from the suicidal thoughts that I was having.
Basically to overcome the bullying I didn’t ask for help, sometimes you just feel you can deal with it on your own better, so I tried it and it sort of helped.
So to overcome bullying first you need to find something, e.g. good grades, as a form of motivation to help you ignore the harmful effects of bullying and to work hard to achieve the grades that you want. Then find friends that understand you better and are worthy of your time. Next add happiness to your life, this can only be done if you get out of the lonely and isolated experiences that you have. So you can go out watch a movie with worthy and honest friends and/or family this way you are going to open up more about things as you’ll end up joining in on conversations. Also, you will have some funny moments in which you’ll feel happy and will feel and think that why should you restrict your happiness just because of what them losers called you or did to you they are lowlifes they are the one that are not worth anything they are only jealous of you of your success of you as a person that’s why they bullied you so you feel bad snout yourself and don’t achieve. They cannot stand your achievement and happiness they want it but can’t get it so they treat you horribly, all you have to do is try your best to focus and do the work no matter because people with knowledge can lead more effectively not people who have to degrade others just to make themselves feel better and on the same level.
