Making me look horrible

I’m in 6th grade and my best friend has left me and is acting like a bully along with another friend. She is now going out with my old boyfriend, telling people I’m the one who spoke bad things about her and others and convinced people that I had said I wish her dead. I get glares and dirty looks daily. I’m being ignored and isolated. I told the school and they said just keep ignoring it. If it gets worse let them know…
Why do people have to make an end of a friendship like world war? Doesn’t have to be like this. It’s so painful. My Mom and Dad are so upset too.

Hi.. My story is so sad and embarrassing for me because i did in the past a very bad thing when i was with my ”friends”. I did this thing in 2014 and i was so afraid somebody to know this thing and here we go i am now in high school and one of those ”friends” told this secret to one student who is in my class and then more students know and they are bullying me…I don’t know what to do.. I am so embarrassed all the time today i want to go home quickly because i was bullying and its very hard…I dont know what to do.. I know my english is not good but u will understand..

my story

at my old school kids would hit me and call me names one time one of them ran into me and i hit my head on the floor and after i felt like someone was stabbing my head all weekend at first i didn’t tell my mom but it ended up getting so bad that i had to transfer .

my story

The first time i got bullied was when i was in 4th grade and it was terrible you know. i tried telling an adult but they just said that it will be ok and to just wait and see what happens. so i waited but it just got worse they started pushing me hitting me it basically turned into physical bullying. when i was 5th and 6th grade it got worse because it turned into cyber bullying. and till this day i am still being bullied and im in 8th grade. but my point is to have hope because no matter what there is always a person out there that cares about you and loves you and that person will always find a way to help you

My 12 years of being bullied, and i’m only 14…

The bullying started when I was two. Adults kept on saying how ugly and stupid I was. Then my story started to escalate year by year… When I was in the 2nd grade, many 5th ad 6th graders would threaten to hurt me. I never knew what it meant. In 7th, 8th, and 9th grade, kids always tried to hurt me. Kids kept on throwing stuff at me everywhere I go. Notebooks, snow, dirt, trash, etc. There’s nothing i can do to stop it. No one in my life can ever understand my pain. So, I keep it in. No matter how rough. No matter how severe. I kept things hidden. Many scars on my body, so many stories hidden behind that cloth. The blood stains my clothing, yet people still believe my lie of saying “I’m fine”

Keep fighting

Hi my name is K i’m in Junior High and there has been lots of rumors and drama. It has been going on for awhile but I didn’t get to me but then people started to call me the h word or fat, ugly, selfish, and stupid. It all started when I met a boy and everyone said eww break up with her, but we lasted till three months and three days. Then more rumors came up that I sent nudes to his best friend, or that i’m cheating on him, or that i’m using him, or that I have never liked him. Well then it came to me so I wanted to hurt myself. And I didn’t like it but my mom told me ” K you need to stand up for yourself and don’t let them say them things.” At first I was scared to but i’m scared when I really let it out people are going to hate me even more. I know these hate words or bullying hurts but don’t let that get to you. Never be scared to fight back, and to tell them to stop cuz its just not right

What will happen next?

OK so this girl was jealous of me because she liked my best friend, but now suddenly she’s becoming nice to me. Just after I’d resolved to try be nicer to her. Well, she wasn’t really NICE nice, but like she didn’t give me dirty looks like before. I’m still feeling unsettled though. How long will it last? Will I do something wrong again? I feel like she is bearing a grudge against me because of something I did a few months ago.  She promised she would never do it again, but she’s betrayed me twice before and I don’t always believe her promises. Now that that new girl is suddenly being nice, it makes me feel scared rather than relaxed. What will happen next? Why is she being nice all of a sudden? But most importantly, how long will it last?

The new girl

I live in Ireland and I’m 11 years old. In 6th grade, a new girl came to our class. My best friend was the one who helped her settle in the most, so the new girl liked her. My other friends, not so much, because she was terrible at Irish. In fact, she wasn’t good at much of her lessons, and never tried any of her homework. My teacher never did anything about it. Then, on the bus, I reported her for standing up, since I was a monitor and her actions were causing the younger kids to stand up too. She was angry because of this, and told my best friend lies about me. My best friend told me I was a bully, and went off with the new girl to be her friend. My best friend didn’t speak to me at all, and it got upsetting. None of my other friends seemed to believe me either. I tried writing my best friend a letter explaining I never did those things to the new girl, but as soon as she saw it, she crumpled it up and left it on the floor without reading it. The boys picked it up, read the letter and laughed at me. I ran off the the girls toilet block, crying. I didn’t know what to do. That lunch, I cried again, and everyone took pity on me. My teacher found out and didn’t really do much, but we did make up. So whoever is spreading lies about you, don’t just sit back and cry like I did. Tell a trusted adult. Get some help.

Over and Over

My name is A. My story is less of a story and more of a poem. I wrote this when i was at point of just ending it all. My bullying started in elementary school. At the time I didn’t really pay attention to it because I thought the things they were saying was just jokes. At that time most of the people that talked about me were friends. But it didn’t stop there. Middle school got better but when I got into high school it started back. Girls would call me fat, nasty, and more. But anyways when all of this was happening I wrote this poem :
Mentally Bound Mind
By: A.M.

Black and White confused eyes
Gone, unwritten, unknown
She leisurely dies
Her mind never shown

Inside dark, dead, unshown
Outside, bright, alive, pretty
Bound in one place. Alone.
Life passing her. Gritty.

Pushing and trying to fight
Emotions hated and afraid
Her mind needed light
Everything around seemed selfmaid

Laid out in cold blood
Light? No light to be seen
Soon to be covered in mud
For the first time she sees green
This is how i was feeling at the time. I felt color blind because i was being bullied by people i thought were my friends and people i thought was my family. I started to see their true colors my sophomore year. I got to a point were I just gave them what they wanted. i didn’t talk to anybody. I stayed to myself but I soon realized that was just me punishing myself so I started to stand up for myself and a lot of the taunting stopped but you know there is always those few who want to feel inferior always. The moral of it all is once I started to ignore them and defend myself they felt there wasn’t really anything for them to do or say. You should always find a way to make them feel less empowered. It don’t always take you standing up to them but once you stop giving the reactions they want, it helps you .
