Words do hurt

Anonymous

Hi, I’ve been bullied all my life. It didn’t really get bad until 5th grade. People started to parade rumors about me, call me names, and hurt me. This one time I sat at this table near this girl, and she told me, “No one likes you. Everyone hates you, no one will sit by you.” Then she walks over to this other table and said that she hated me. And the others girls said yeah we hate her too. And they talked about how much they hated me. And 6th grade wasn’t any better. People would isolate me and tell me that I smelled horrible. That my shoes were stupid that I was stupid and I didn’t matter and that I had lice and ate it and was made fun of for my disabilities. In 8th grade it started to get worse again people accused me of looking at other girls and being gay. Told me to my face that they’d have to switch classes because I was in there, they would hit me, throw stuff at me and would scoot away from me if I sat near them. In 9th grade a girl accused me of stalking her when I was just trying to go to class. Told all her friends and they harassed me. When I did nothing, I’d tell teachers about it and when they confronted her she laughed at them and said that she didn’t know what they were talking about. And after that she would go tell more people. And then the next year she told people that she had to move because of me. And I didn’t even know her at all we just had some classes together and sat next to each other! And then in 10th grade, a friend of the girl decided to tell her friends that I was checking her out and tried to hurt her. She said this while laughing. And I told the teacher and she got confronted and said she had no idea what she was talking about. Then people would ruin my stuff and call me pervert. And this year another friend of the girl told people I was stalking him. When we had most of the same classes together and near each other! I was done and upset that had to get pulled out of school. And I never did anything to these people, I have no idea on why they targeted me. But now I can’t go anywhere without being super paranoid or looking over my shoulder.
