Real Teens Speak Out

Will it stop?!?

My name is Morgan. I am going into 7th grade i have been bullied for over 4 years. Its rough. I always want to give up and stop and just end my life. People are always picking on me its like i’m the main target and its always me. Its like they don’t know anyone else, they don’t hate anyone else, they don’t want to hurt and be mean t anyone else, will it every stop, will they stop? Probably not but fight. Just fight and please don’t ever give up and don’t ever let anyone bring you down. Your here for a reason.
Love, Morgan

A possible explanation.

Hi everyone. I am a university student in Turkey who got bullied in secondary school. As some who experienced this, I always think aboout people behaving this way.

As ı said, I always wanted to know about why bullies like to behave like like bullies and beyond the reasons we all know, such as the parental reasons etc…, I want to talk about more personal or psychological reasons. Or, at least the possible reasons.

Well one of the possible reasons may be this, showing violence means showing predominance. Having dominion over something is an instinct and was an obligation to stay alive when we lived as scavengers during pre-civilized times. The feeling it provides is why people did not stop after they civilized. This explains why people formed seignories, states and empires respectively; and invaded other lands. Because it feels good to have dominance.

Another reason may be experimentalism out of curiosity. People want to know about certain reaction but unable to try them on their own so they try it on other people. They want to know how people will react if they do something. Sometimes they do it even though they now the consequences. They feel angry about something and want to something to get rid of that anger.

In conclusion, either it is about experimentalism out of curiosity or showing predominance, it is not O.K to behave like a bully and cause lifetime damages. If you want, you can share this scripture at a social media page and inform people. But as I stated below, this is a possible explanation to the crisis and was not formed after a testing process. Just ideas…

For Ten Years

I have been bullied since my first year of kindergarten. By the same group of people for almost my entire life. In elementary I was always the target of everyone. I was called fat, ugly, and no one liked me. Even though I was (Then) an outgoing smart kid. All of my fourth grade friends were fake, I found out after they told me at the end of the year. I cried it hurt my heart. Teachers didn’t seem to care either even though it was happening right in front of their eyes. I’m heading into high school now and it’s been better this year. Found some real friends in sixth grade and people are starting to like me. Also the group of bullies are heading to different schools now. So that’s a huge relief. Although I did not survive unscathed, all this bullying has left me as a hollow shell of my former self. I’m now an introvert that hates social gatherings and is always socially anxious and paranoid. (Even around my family) I have such trouble talking to girls now (I’m a boy) and I don’t open up to them even though I really want to. I have crushes and I’m terrified of confessing my feelings to a girl because of the bullying I have put through for years. Although I’m trying to be more open about myself and my feelings. Now I wonder could my life have been different if I told someone, if my life could have been happy. If I told someone about the torture I have been through for ten years.

eating, depression, anxiety and bullies

My life hasn’t been the best, 5 years a go I was told I had depression and had a total of 4 counsellors but was unable to get proper help until I was 13 so here I am now 13 turning 14. Having to wait so long caused me to develop an eating disorder, I hardly ever attended school as people continuously took the mess out of my body shape (Im really skinny because of my eating) my face (I was/is really pale as I don’t eat much) because of that I was seen as weak and other things started to be said about me leaving me seriously insecure and it got to the point where I then developed anxiety. So basically I’m messed up and everyone hates me because of what I’ve been through. I’m so fed up of constantly hearing ‘stop bullying and calling people fat’ what about the people getting called anorexic and skinny rats everyday that hurts too. I’m fed up of never been stood up for or noticed. We exist you know!

My bullying experience.

It all started when my parents divorced and me, my mom and my brother had to move into a small town. I was in 4th grade then. At my first day of school, I immediately received negative remarks about how weak I was and everyone called me “four-eyes” for wearing glasses. I didn’t pay much attention to it, but I soon noticed how I had little to no friends at my class. My said “current friends” at the time tried to be distant to me as well. That made me feel really bad.

Fast forward to 5th grade, this boy who was tougher than me began to pick on me. Usually escalating into fighting and the school staff didn’t do anything about it but give a mere warning. I would constantly get my ass kicked and beat up because I was… well, physically weak. I had no arm strength. I didn’t know how to fight back.
In 6th grade, another boy came to our school and I felt like I made a friend! We were actually really good friends and he would stand up for me whenever in need, that stopped the bullying and made my situation better, it really did! …Until 7th grade. Our friendship suddenly fell apart as he became friends with this stronger group of boys, the school was basically afraid of them. My ex-bully began to bully me again, and guess what? My ex-friend and his group of friends joined in.
Up until 8th grade, I actually stood up to my old bully and whooped his arse, but the stronger boys would begin to bully me even harder. I would constantly be pushed to my limits to the point I almost cried and, in their point of view, humiliated myself. They would begin to bully me in classrooms when the teachers are not looking or are away for a moment. I felt depressed at that moment. I still do. Constantly I come back home and cry to myself and usually spend time alone because I literally have no friends around me.

Maybe one day that will change, but for now, I resort to cutting from time to time, even though I know it’s stupid. I feel like there’s no hope, even though I know that I can put a stop to this. I just don’t know how… Yet.

Advice?

So basically, I’m 15 and I’m 5’11 which is taller than most people my age and I seem to get bullied for it a lot. For instance, I go to an all girls school and I got my 3 best friends but I got social anxiety, but only at school for some reason. I go to an all girls school and a group calls me lanky when I walk past and sometimes if the boys school are on the train they would call me lanky and big foot and a couple of times they chucked things at me like ones bag and newspapers and money. I did stand up for myself and it stopped but happens sometimes. And today, there was a different boys school and I was standing at the bus stop with my friend and I know a few of the boys and some of them just started to talk about my legs and how I’m a “lanky ugly b—” like I spoke to my school about it and they just said like to ignore it but it’s hard because it just puts me down even though I’m trying so much to ignore it. I also was talking to this boy and he liked me but I didn’t like him so him and his friends called me “a man” and urgh it’s just upsetting for me because there’s nothing to do about it and I hate being tall.

Hi, I’m Broken.. But you don’t know that yet 🙁

Hi, I’m broken…I’m currently 16 and completing year 11. Since year five i have been bullied for things which aren’t within my control. I was always such a strong, resilient girl and everyone knew that. As I got older and people grew up I thought things would get easier, but I was wrong. Everyday I wake up in hope that today will be different, people think their comments are little and harmless but really how many ‘harmless’ comments does it take before it’s no longer harmless. I’ve read the suicide statistics and i know that i’m part of that.. i attempted, three times….

Why

I know I’m different.but that does not mean I accept it
I am now going into year 8 and the bullying hasn’t stoped
I would explain but I have to go
