Real Teens Speak Out

bullied every day

I was just to be bullied every day at my old school. Older kids would like to pick on me because I used to like girl stuff and I would come home crying to my mom because I had felt like I was the only person in the world how was being picked on and that made me really really sad. My mom would tell me it doesn’t matter what other people think about what you like and to be proud of how you are inside of you and let it show. But most of the time it didn’t help. People would still ask me why I was so girly and people actually called me a girl not a little bit but a lot. So don’t be scared to be how you are inside of you but how you are on the outside and let it show.

new student

Bullying is a very bad thing. It can lead to people hurting themselves, and becoming someone who they really aren’t. If you ever see bullying, then don’t try to interfere because 99.99% of the time, that will jut make the fight escalate and it will pull you into the drama/argument too! I never have been made fun of repeatedly, but there have been rumors spread about me in my 6th grade year. These girls were talking about me… and I thought about it like this, They are so interested in my life that they’re talking about me! They don’t even have a life so their trying to pick on mine.

about myself begin bully

I would always get bulling to death and I hate it because I would go to my room crying all the time and I wish it could stop. I remember I was in dance class and my friend came up to me and said this girl in the pink shirt said about u that you are not a good dancer and that really hurt my feelings . I hate when people bulling me and another people around me . till this day I get bullied a little and I stop me and I am happy to say that im bulling free .

You’re Worth It!

I am currently 26 years old, when I was in school since the 2nd grade I was bullied. It was all kinds of different things; my clothes, my weight, my quietness (which was because of the bullying), being “alone”, how good I got along with my teachers. I have learned that some of that bullying has been because of a lack of understanding. Some of it was the difference of priorities between them and myself and the other was because I was “different” I never went to a school dance, football game or anything. I was going to go to prom until my grandmother died the night before. A lot of those bullies made me even more self conscious of myself. Some of it has stuck with me and some has not. Somethings have changed and some haven’t. Some of those bullies are now friends on facebook and some of them are still like they were in school. A few of them have written me and told me that my faith inspires them, which made me feel good. Bullying hurts, I almost failed a class because of it, but while we have people who bully us we also have those who care about us. The ones who care are the ones who get us through the rough spots.

My advice to you is this- There are always going to be more people who care about you than you know. Even if you find just one strong friend you have outweighed all of those bullies. My faith was my serenity. You’re not the anything they tease you to be. You’re identity is in who you were created to be and the purpose you were given, don’t let anyone else who is just as equal is you tell you how awful you are. Remember this, we are all different no matter how many are in a group, or how “big” or “powerful” the bully is they all have a different finger print, they are themselves and you are you, both with flaws and both with gifts. You’re worth it!

The Right Way

Singer-Songwriter Cat London and her production team went to Middlesex High School (NJ) and asked students to volunteer their opinion on what it means to treat others #TheRightWay. Thanks to Vince Inciong, music teacher at MSH and videographer of #TheRightWay, their kindness initiative unfolded through the voice of his students.

#TheRightWay is a bullying awareness and kindness campaign that grew out of London’s song, “The Right Way.” The duet features two young people struggling with acceptance, empathy, and bullying. The song makes us recognize that we are the same, we feel the same pain, but we might not realize it.
We’re increasing awareness that we, as humans and peers, can achieve more through compassion, understanding, and willingness to dissolve barriers that perpetuate anger, hatred, and bullying.

A free download of The Right Way is available on NoiseTrade.com.

Good Enough

Everyday, ever since I was in second grade I think, I have been bullied by someone. I am very skinny, and I never thought it was a bad trait to have, until a group of 3 or 4 boys started calling me toothpick. During class, they would make a snapping motion, as if breaking a twig, and point to me. They told me I was not good enough. I started eating more to gain weight, but it seemed it never worked. Eventually, I gained weight, and the boys started calling me marshmallow, fat, and chubby. I was still the skinniest, but I did not know because I listened to them. I started losing a lot of weight, and I only weighed 75 pounds. Then, I met a girl who the boys called chubby. I stood up for her, and we became best friends. The teacher would tell the boys to stop in her kindest voice, and they just laughed. I grew up going to class with the same people, and the same boys that bullied me. In the end, it was my best friend who taught me that I could stand up for myself as I did with her. I stood up with myself, and one of the bullies started being really nice and made a complete turnaround. We were almost BFFs because I stood up for myself, and I stood up for myself because I stood up for someone else. As bystanders, we should not just stand by-we need to stand up. Together, we can all be "good enough" because everyone has a flaw that we just have to accept, instead of bringing others down. That is what makes us different from the bullies.

New School

If you’ve ever gone to a new school, you can sympathize. I didn’t have very many friends there, just one. She invited me to her “group” and I enjoyed it, however, one girl quite obviously didn’t like me. I’d see her whispering to everyone except me and then look at me and giggle. I noticed this quickly and addressed it to my friend, she understood and she talked to the girl. The girl did not take this well, she contined being mean to me and my friend.

Strong Enough

The students of South Jr. High and Cloud City Boyz want to tell targets of bullying that they are STRONG ENOUGH. This campaign encourages targets of bullying to share their stories anonymously on a Facebook group. This music video features 6th grade students singing to reach out to other victims of bullying – and let them know that they are STRONG ENOUGH to overcome bullying!
