I was a happy person, but things got bad my family was having problems and my school got hard and people would talk bad about me later on my friends stop being my friends and soon after that I was alone . I talked to my family but they didn’t understand they kinda told me it was my fault so it made me sad I would cry myself to sleep and think about just taking my life but I sat there and thought about how later on in life none of the people that are hurting me are going to be here forever . I thought to myself and told my self that I don’t need friends I have family that support me and love me and I don’t want to hurt them that I’m a beautiful human being and I am worthy of being alive everyone is your such a strong beautiful human being and you should all stand up and fight one day you will walk around bulletproof 💗
Words can destroy your whole life
November 29, 2018
I got bullied since I was in the “Grundschule”(in Germany). No one wanted to play with me because one girl always told lies about me. I was very open, not shy at all and nice to everyone. Alone the fact that you stay alone and the others play together and dont want to play with you hurts so much. Then I got to the “Gymnasium”. I was shy and quiet. And that was the reason I got bullied again. I was not like the others and looked a bit younger. It got further that the whole classes of the grade laughed about me and hurt me with words. And after I got beaten up by boys I changed the school. New Start new me I thought… But I talked to no one was the quiet girl in the back. And till now I dont know how or what to talk with my classmates because im afraid to tell them something personal, afraid to say something wrong, to be laughed at in the middle of the class. I’m extremely shy and have social phobia. They destroyed me and my whole life. They live happy not knowing that what they did follows me until now.
my story about being bullied
November 29, 2018
since I started secondary school I got bullied well to be honest I got bullied through primary as well but not as much as I have in secondary school. I got bullied for many different reasons like my weight, my looks and how rich or poor I was . Many people believed that I was obese for my age and it really hurt to be told that. My looks I admit I didn’t really like the way I looked but I didn’t care what I looked like, but when everyone bullied me for not having the best eyebrows or other facial features it really got to me so I started wearing a bit of makeup, but no matter what I tried I still got bullied. Also money wise I know many people wouldn’t understand this reason but whenever my friends wanted me to go up town with them or went clothes shopping I declined because it would’ve ended badly for me . I didn’t tell my mates for awhile about my money problem but they found out and of course I got bullied for it. The one thing no one really wanted to notice about me was my personality I mean I may not be the smartest person there is but that doesn’t matter the thing that matters was that I got judged on the things that didn’t matter when really they should’ve judged me on the important things. I do admit I may still be a teenager and not understand things completely but I understand bullying. And I will still be bullied throughout life because no matter where you are in life bullies are everywhere. So here’s quite a bit of advice for everyone who has suffered or still suffers from bullying. Yes you may still continue to be bullied and tormented but what you have to think is that the only reason why you get bullied isn’t to do with you its to do with the actual bully. Bullies only bully people to fit in or some do it because they got bullied but still there’s no excuse for bullying. And if you have ever thought about going against your bully and thinking will this make me a bully it wont because you are just teaching the bully that its not nice to be threatened and tormented. I always and sometimes do still think that question ‘If I go against someone who is bullying me does that make me a bigger bully and the truth is it doesn’t. Be yourself no matter what other people think about you it only matters what you think about yourself.
It can be for life
November 27, 2018
On first grade, I developed an unexplainable love for books and literature, and, as we started having tests, my grades only got higher and higher. I was proud of myself, and so was my family. But, as the months passed, I was getting somewhat isolated, from everyone. I didn’t want that to happen, but it did.
On second grade, the name calling started. It wasn’t much, only things like ‘smarty pants’, ‘teacher’s pet’ and ‘perfect girl’, and it didn’t happened often, but the more time passed, the more isolated I got.
On third grade things escalated, but much changed.
On fourth grade, my best friend left my classroom, and things went to a whole new level: laughing at me, pulling my hair in the middle of class (we sat in rows and didn’t choose where to sit, so they could do it very easily), slamming my books, the things I most care about, to the ground and spreading rumors about me. In that point, i was already spending my breaks at the library, alone.
On fifth grade, it was the same thing, except I knew that I’d be free in no time.
I never told anyone, because I thought that, when I changed schools, things would get better. They did, for a while.
In the end of sixth grade, my “best friend” turned her back on me. I didn’t have many friends, only her and another girl, because I already had trust issues, so, when she started hanging out with the ‘popular girls’ I had no one to be with, because my other friend had other friends. My old “best friend” called me names and told her new friends my secrets. I don’t know what else she did, because I blocked almos 3 months of my life. On the last day of school, that same girl APOLOGIZED and said that she wanted to star over (for the record, she hasn’t looked at my face for 12 FREAKING MONTHS).
Basically, I got new friends (who are actually nice and know what I’ve been through, since they were bullied themselves) but the bullying didn’t stop. I’m still isolated (which is a form of bullying) and people still make fun of me. My parents don’t know, and I don’t plan on telling them. And now, at 13 years old, I have clinical depression, general anxiety, stress disorder and I suffer from panic attacks.

Since I was 3 years old I’ve been bullied although it was by different people but when I was in year 8 so I was 13 I started getting bullied really badly. It would always be because of my weight or how I looked but then they started saying I was posh and thought I was superior to everyone else and started calling me Mrs Bucket because they say I act posh but I live in a run down council house but really it’s just that I know how to behave. Other kids join in as well because they notice that they use swear words in like every sentence but I never ever swear because my parents told me that even when there’s a need to swear I shouldn’t because I should always try to find a better word. They laugh at me because I used to self harm but I haven’t harmed for about a year now but I still have the scars on my arm so when it’s too hot for me to wear my blazer and my cardigan they see the scars and push me down and tell me I’m supposed to cut downwards.
My experience
November 27, 2018
I was bullied for the majority of my life when I was a kid. I just wanted to share this to tell others that are struggling that you can make it. When I was 11 my parents told me we were moving from my native country to New York. Naturally, I was excited. I had been to New York and loved it. Before I left I told the school, who helped break the news to my “friends”…we’ll call them classmates. I made every effort possible to make sure I could keep in touch with everyone. But that year was probably the worst of all my school years. All my friends turned on me, basically. I guess it’s because they figured I was leaving and that they would never see me again, and that’s what “validated” their actions, in their minds at least. When we played sports, they told me I was useless. After a few times I stopped playing sports in school altogether, and it ruined one of my favorite things. People started calling me names. One day we were sitting outside during a break and I already was scared of social interaction. When I tried speaking to offer an idea, all the people I thought were my friends threw rocks at me. Later they claimed they never did such a thing, and that I even “rolled with it” despite how distressed I was, crying in the middle of class. Another time was when we had an end of school celebration thing, I don’t really know what to define it as, and one of my best friends screamed at me and swore at me for messing something up, and called me a failure and that I couldn’t do anything right. That was one of my last few weeks in the country, and ever since that last incident until I left I didn’t speak to any of them. Moving still broke my heart, because I had to leave my best friend since my childhood and my whole family, but I was still excited. When I first moved everything seemed fine. That’s until the bullying started again. This time it wasn’t just verbal abuse, it was physical and later sexual too. That led to me entering high school (which was, for the record, my last two years before moving back to my native country) with the mindset of intentionally not making any friends, and avoiding people at all costs. That ended up being one of the best years for me socially, until I moved back and it all went bad again. But as I write this I’m a healthy 21 year old guy with a great social group of people that genuinely care for me, with big aspirations and dreams. People will try and hurt you. That’s just something some evil people do, with no real justification. Keep fighting. Fight back, show them how strong you are, show them that you’re better than them. Keep believing in yourself, and strive for what you deserve. You’ll rise up taller than them. I promise you. <3

I, too, was prey for the bullies that lurked the middle school halls. Mostly verbal abuse, but even some physical. The verbal abuse consisted mostly of bashing my physical appearance and speaking about my parent’s financial situations (we didn’t have the most money, but we happily made do). It’s something about the physical bullying that will always be engraved in my brain. I remember it like it happened yesterday. I was switching out books in my locker, which was on the bottom, when my top locker partner comes up behind me and starts violently kicking me and telling me to hurry. I just sat there and allowed him to kick me. I tried to laugh it off and open my lock as fast as possible to please him. Kids surrounding us were laughing. I didn’t mention it until a few weeks later. Luckily, I had a very caring 6th grade teacher who I will always remember. During those times, it was so easy to go along with the bullying crowd. I mean anything to get them off your back right? That is not what you should do. Remember kindness is always what you should strive for. The bullies will look back on those years of bullying and regret every second of it and feel shame and guilt for the awful things they’ve done, but you will remember that you kept composure, and most importantly, that you were kind. Please stay strong in this cruel world.
words do really hurt

I got bullied a lot in high school. it started in year 9. where this boy kept picking on me calling me names. Every time he walked past me he used to kick my chair when I was sitting on it and if I was standing up he would try and trip me over. he really was not a nice guy. the boy that bullied me had gotten worse. so I told my mom and dad and they both told the school. and he had to move to a different classes because of what he was doing to me. People if u are reading this story please understand that bullying is not nice.
