LIFE SUCKS. I CAN’T STOP IT.

Bullying really is REAL!
Anonymous

When I went to school I used to always hear about bullying, but I thought it wasn’t real. Then I moved with my mom and my perspective on life changed. People who didn’t even know me would come up to me at school and call me names. It got so bad I would cry and beg my mom not to make me go to school. Some days she felt bad for me and left me stay home and get a break from the bullying. One day at school I was talking to my friend, I told him I would miss him and that after today he would never see me again. He told the counselor what I said I got sent to another place. It helped for awhile then the bullying kept happening. Then I moved back to Gurdon and I decided I’m not going to let the bullying continue. I’m going to stop it once and for all.

when I went into year 5 my school life didn’t turn out to great for me. I had many of the other students picking on me calling me things spreading things about me just saying things that hurt my feelings but they didn’t care and I could see that if went on and on through that year I went home crying every day I went to teachers but they were no help I told my parents but my teacher wouldn’t listen to them when I went into year 6 it was still going on but more students joined in I tried to get on with the year but I couldn’t it was really hard for me I was judged about everything my clothes my look my colour my gender the whole of me.  That year had gone by and I had gone into year 7 that’s when things went really bad for me I was bullied from day one of year 7  In the end once I had told the people who actually care about me everything was sorted. What I would like everyone to know is never feel afraid to tell any one I made that mistake and all it did was left me with cuts and bruise don’t do what I did do the right thing and tell someone.

The time i got assulated has changed my life so much from not feeling safe at school and having to move into a new school didtrict. One day in class I asked a question that was ” are we allowed to bring backpacks into homeroom” and after that question this one girl had her backpack and the teacher gave her a really bad look and told her to go put it in her locker. when the girl came back from her locker she said “go to hell’ and fuck off” and that makes me feels very bad about myself. So then we get to lunch her and a group off friends came up to me and threatened to slap me flipped me off and said more stuff like that . Then one day a girl came up behinde me and shoved me to the ground and held me there for a few minutes. Then the next time she did something to me was at lunch and she came up behinde me and chocked me and hit me on the head with a book. As that was going on i was telling my dean and the principal and they said that they were going to deal with them and the person that got in trouble was me.

The “you tell, you’re a snitch” culture is still so prevalent
When I was in high school, a popular upperclassman took photos of the textbook/powerpoint on his phone in front of the whole table (the teacher wasn’t looking) and during the test, took out his phone and proceeded to use it for the entire rest of the class period. I saw him take the photos, and his phone even made a Siri sound during the test. This is a common occurrence at my high school.

I didn’t want to tell the teacher because I was scared that the cheater would proceed to rally his friend group to ostracize me. My friends encouraged me to, and in the end I did.
I was so scared to even show my face at school after that, for the following weekend I spent almost every waking minute worrying about what would happen.

You found your way onto this site, because you feel so alone and want some closure, just like me. I’d been bullied all my life. I had always been different, the smart one, the “rich” one, the unathletic one, the “weird one”. Since I was little, people would laugh at me, call me names, make me feel isolated, and make me feel worthless. I’ve been called every name imaginable. People who I think are my friends will say something completely out of the blue that hurts me so much. Bullying is real. People call me fat, ugly, stupid, weird, they make fun of me for everything imagineable, riding horses, being a vegetarian, having a clothing business, not playing other sports, and etc. People laugh at everything I say. They make up rumors that I like certain guys, they ruined my life. The more successes I have in my life, the nastier they became. And, at school, I’m completely alone. I can trust no one, that’s what bullying does to you, It takes a part of yourself you cherish, and turn It ugly and dark. So if some beautiful soul somewhere in the world is reading this, I want you to know that you are not alone, no matter how much you feel like you are. We all have those insecurities, it’s a hard time, but you are so strong, and so wonderful. Just remember, you aren’t what they say you are. I am not weak, I am not weird, I am not ugly, I am not worthless.
