Real Teens Speak Out

Bullying.

I have always been bullied. There are many different reasons of why people bully me and it lowers my self confidence. If we wanna get the whole story we have to go way back to kindergarden. In kindergarden, I had an eye problem that made it very hard to see, and my eyes would roll back. People noticed that and started making fun of me. So, My parents decided to get it fixed. So I ended up getting eye surgery. My eyes were BLOOD SHOT read for about 3 weeks. I then had to put an eye patch over it which made me look like a complete dork. People would always say ¨I do not wanna play with a pirate.¨, I never had somebody to play with on the playground. In 5th grade, I finally got my eye patch taken off. I was so excited. Nobody could make fun of me anymore. I was wrong. Middle school came around and Since I was 4¨8, I was considered very short. People would call me a midget, they would say that I was anorexic and bully me so hard that I almost would physically hurt myself. 8th grade came around and it got even worse. People would say that I was a ¨special Education child¨ and did not belong to be on this earth, people would wish that I would die. I would sit in my shower with the water all the way hot and burn myself, I thought that I would feel better. I am in 8th grade now and am a straight A student. I just wanted to share my story and you can get over this. I wish you best of luck on your journey.

That girl who has ‘lots’ of friends

I was bullied since 3rd grade and when I tried to tell someone they never believed me because they that I was lying,because I go to a Catholic school and the teachers never listened and my parents and grandparents never believed me either because they thought I had all the friends in the world. And when I tried talking to my friends they never got what I was trying to say and I tried to end it all but it fails and now I’m scared I’ll get back into the habit of hurting myself…I just need someone who is older then me or as the same age to tell and help me to make the bullying stop.

Fake friends

In eighth grade this girl s didn’t like me. In ninth grade I became really good fiends with some of her friends which brought us together a bit. We were friends for months, we usually only ever talk on the bus. And we only ever talk about her.. I always felt unheard by her so I started sitting with someone else and I just stopped talking to her. She started telling this boy I liked that I was talking bad about his girlfriend which led hm to bully me. My friends stood up for me and explained how s doesn’t like me and was lying he understood and apologized. That boy and I never dated but he is best friends with my sister and now he and s bully me everyday saying that I shouldn’t go to our fair because there is a target on my back. That I’m going to be beaten. I hear them giggling about me all the time. He had liked me ever since 3 monthes ago so I don’t know why he is bullying me and making me cry everyday. They continue to threaten to physically beat me an laugh at me and embarrass me.

i don’t have no friends

i feel so lonely at school cause i don’t have friends at this school and i just want to meet new people for i can talk to and have fun with but that’s not going to happen for me cause im ugly that’s what the kids say to me and it hurt me to hear kids talk about me to another student and the only thing i was trying to do is be nice to everyone but that didn’t work so i just stay to myself and talk to no one and im 16 year old and since 2018 i did have no friends so i just gave up trying to meet friends

What caused my social anxiety

Been feeling like an “outcast” in school ever since I was 12. I’ve been treated such a way and other peers were aware of it to the point where some kids would take that as an opportunity to mentally bully me. All kinds of words were slandered towards me, from body shaming me cause I was naturally very skinny to being racist cause of my darker skin tone, these things have caused me to be extremely self conscious about my appearance till this day. A few of the stuff that my so-called friends would call me were basically all sorts of words mocking my appearances in every way possible. I had endured all that in just 1 year. But at such a tender age, it didn’t get to me as much cause at that time I was naive and never saw all that as “bullying” and instead I thought it was normal for friends to say such things to each other although I knew I got it far worse than anyone else. The fact that the rest of the kids knew that I was one of the main bullying targets made things harder for me cause they would work together to give me a hard time without being caught by any discipline teachers. One day, I even got the strings to my bag cut off while I was at a dance practice in school. In that same week, someone poured maple syrup into my bag. Keep in mind that I had a test on that day. I remember going to the toilet to wash my pencils during the test cause that person made sure maple syrup had even gotten into my pencil case, and that meant that I had to spend extra time washing my pencils instead of answering my test paper.

High school

I sit next to two guys who have been periodically making fun of my responses in my second language class. I hate how when I mess up they laugh and when I don’t mess up they mock me. It’s like they’re fixed on me. It makes me feel so small and shallow when I sit next to them and whenever they make fun of me my whole day is ruined :(.

I have always been picken on, but people have started bullying my friends. I watched my best friend get held to the ground and punched in the face, so that was fun. But its gotten to where I will just cry. And cry. Between being bullied and not letting any one bully my friends, life is a mess. Thank you, very sincerly, for ruining my life, bullys.

i am in 6th grade and i have some really good friends. at my school there is assigned seats so i dont get to sit with my friends. i get bullied as in verbally abused and sexually harrased by boys at PE. i also get made fun of for being short and thin and it gets on my nerves. im to the point where when i read these other stories i think to myself that im ok . i dont have it as bad as these other people. so just be happy and stick with your friends that you know will have your back.

The beat goes on…

Keeping a long story short…Bullying started for me in the third grade, From other students and 2 teachers as well. I can remember just about all of it all these years later. I was a short fat boy with red curly hair and later pimples so I was a huge target for everybody. It is not “just innocent fun”, “kids will be kids” , “They will grow out of it” or “he wont even remember”. It was not fun, It hurt, The bullying lasted from 3rd grade until I finished school and like I said I remember just about all of it. But you know what friends? All these years later I am everything I was told I would “not” be. Married with kids a good job and a lot of love. All the trash you hear is just that TRASH. All of you ARE beautiful people and you WILL have your own beautiful life. It is true that bullies are that way because of their own insecurities.

Being bullied was good for me

So my scl years passed with peace till class 5 .. I had a friend and Iam not gonna mention her name here she was my friend since grade 4 we became best friends.. I felt that she is going to leave me in the next class since we had 3 sections of our class and all of the sections were to be merged in the next year i.e in grade 6.. So everything got ruined just after she left me for no reason since I valued her always.. When she left me I cried definetly and then the kids insulted me for crying that I cry on everything.. I was sensitive stressful child by nature and they would hurt my feelings.. they would hurt me verbally bcz it affected me .. it became a fun for them and I dont think so they would have ever cared abt how much it hurt me even though they themselves were not less emotional than me but just bcz I cried many times they insulted me.. also bullying included calling me fat,insult for my short height even though I wasnt fat that much and they used me like if they wanted to cheat a test they would request me to sit beside them.. they would beat me like in a group.. they would slap me all 12 or maybe 7 girls would slap me push me and pull my hair and when I talked them abt me they would ask me not to complain bcz it was only a joke.. what the heck? One day I thought the solution to this treatement so I received the same treatement one day and did the same back and since I was healthy it hurt them so much and they would say that it was too much so I replied that when u go through same then u feel it then they did again all this I again did what I did previously and eventually they stopped doing it.. they got afraid.. Bullying also included other things like u know friendship and other things but I got tired in grade 8 and decided to change the scl and thankfully got relieved.. Now I dont remember it bcz I have much things to do.. I have interest in researching but I decided to share it here.. also I was called as a stupid person by my friends I got to hear this and I started to believe it but now I know who’s more stupid 😂😆.. those ppl dont have anything to enjoy their lives who bullied me.. I cried everyday stressed so much I even got a huge depression in maybe 9 or 10 class by remembering everything that happened to me 3 years back. But I wanna just advise one thing that their opinions dont matter.. be brave and make them feel down by your intelligence..
