I don’t know them anymore
Anonymous

One day I fell out with my friends, they all left me. I didn’t know what I did wrong. It was like the only thing I lived for was gone when they started bullying me. They never spoke nicely to me. There were rumours about me going around school. I would get angry at home. It wasn’t me. They continuously came up to me and harassed me. It was killing me. I was not the same as I used to be. This was happening for about 3 mounths. It finally came to Halloween. This was the day I built my walls higher than ever before. They did a live video on Instagram and I joined it. I was stupid. They were teasing me on that too. They were telling me to die, I tried to block it out. This couldn’t be happening. They were telling me to trip and break my neck. I was crying out for this girl I knew so well who was with them to stop them but she joined in. I didn’t want to live anymore. The bullying still continues. But what did I ever do wrong? They aren’t the same people I used to know.

Hi my names fatima I’m a Muslim girl who wears a hijab. I’m 13 years old and hears my story. I used to live in Ohio but me and my family decided to move here in California. I moved here and I was in 5th grade. I was friends with a group of girls who were all Mexican. They always talked about me behind my back. I found out that they called me really mean names. They called me ugly, Indiana Jones, fat ass, a bitch, and they told me to put my head into the toilet. I have also been bullied here at my school my first year in middle school a sixth grader. I was at my locker and to girls came up to me and called me a man because I was wearing a scarf. This year I heard two boys talking about me and my scarf and calling me an isis. I wanna let you guys all now that just because you see a Muslim woman wearing a scarf or a Muslim man it doesn’t mean we’re isis . You can’t judge people by their religion. Every religion in this world is unique. Let bullying stop today. Let it stop right now. Many people become suicidal because of bulling. STOP BULLYING PEOPLE BIG BULLIES.

This happened in my middle school life. First, I’m going to make it clear that I’m mexican, but I learned english as my first language, and from this day, I still have an accent on my spanish. So when I started middle school, we had some new classmates me and my brother, so I thought that it would be my chance to make new friends. But in my second year of middle school, a lot of bullying started. We couldn’t talk, because people would make fun of whatever we said, and whenever I defended my brother, I would end up being teased more. And no one seemed to recognize me as a mexican, because I had an accent in my spanish, so usually they would call me american, and only a few times they made me do their english homework. Sometimes I would become aggressive, but that only made things worse, because I ended up with plenty of hits when I finished middle school. I never got the chance to experience cyber bullying, but middle school was a had time for me.

During my school years I got bullied from a group of people who never liked me. I got called Ugly, Fat and just mocked me for how I looked. I lost all my friends, because of how and what people thought of me. Everyday after school I would try and hurt myself just because of what people said about me. It made me so sad, because my best friends turned against me, and just believed people. Each day went by and it kept getting horrible every night. I would act everyday that I was fine and all that, but inside I was dying. Everyday I got people telling me to die and Kill myself. I felt like I wasn’t worth anything at all. Im talking about this, because not many teenagers speak up and get the help they need. I wanna help victims of bullying to overcome it.

So I was moving from my home town to the country, my number one fear was being picked on by others , that fear did come true. My first day of 8th was awesome but I finally met my two bullies. L was a different kind of bully she did it mentally and emotionally she would tease my mom by saying don’t crash and die and my siblings by calling them the b word she was hitting me and stealling my food. P was a brat to everyone and I was her toy to test and to play with she acted nice at first but then on the bus she was calling other people names and she would always kick me and bossed me around like I was her maid.

You don’t know me

People, especially children and teenagers have always called me scary, monster, a bully, compulsive liar, the worst human, terrible, etc. I always wanted friends but I kept getting rejected and called so many bad things, ran away from and they laugh at anything right that I have to say. When I got the internet and posted my arts, people were saying it was horrendous, it definitely needs improvement and so many bad things I can’t imagine. They keep lying that they were kind to me when I seen that they were mean to me and nice to everyone else. Once in school, I was introduced to a little girl who was friendly and smiled at everyone but me; she found me mysterious and thought of me as a bully who deserves nothing but insults. When I posted my selfies on the internet, people were calling me ugly and blocking me. This day came when I was ready to reason with my bullies on why they call me a compulsive liar and they kept laughing at what I had to say. They even told me to kill myself, acted like trolls and made fun of my problems and refused to believe it. Then I posted a post for help but people didn’t mind the situations and told me I was the bully (when I’m actually NOT) and they think they know about me when they don’t.

Those are the things people were saying on my post where I ask for help in my plight cyberbullying situation. I WAS and I am a victim of critically severe bullying. I can’t handle this and as a Muslim, I blame god for intending to make my life ‘miserable’.

I don’t want to be the bully, all I want is friends but PEOPLE DRIVE ME to be rude. My family kept insisting they are my friends when I want stranger teenage girls as my friends who would be kind, even good guys. The kids who run from me won’t listen to what I have to say and laugh it off as if I was a bully which I’m not. Please believe that I have a tragic life so it could be fixed, I’m looking forward for a bright life which is hard for me to attain:(

It started in elementary, everyone used to say I looked like a guy. I did have some friends though but it all changed in jr. My first year in jr my father almost died. I lost all those friends that I had from elementary school. I was bullied because to them I looked like a guy. I began to be bullied online, things like “your worthless” ” your father won’t make it” and other hurtful things. It was so hard to deal with life! My dad very sick, my poor mother crying every night because if she lost him she wouldn’t know what to do, my brother who was starting 1st grade and was being bullied too. And me at school sitting alone in class and being alone for lunch. I just wanted everything to end.
When my father recovers everything seemed to be better. Made some new friends and highschool came along and everything went crashing down. In February 2012 I was awoken to flashing lights outside my window. When I looked out it was an ambulance, they were here for my mother. I ran to the living room and saw her siting on the couch, before I could say anything my father pointed to me and asked her. ” dear, do you know who that is?” She shook her head no! My heart stopped I had no idea what was happening. She regained her memory and we found out that she had a tumour. It wasn’t cancerous though, but just like what happened to my father I was bullied, lost all my friends. She made it out ok and I am truly thankful for that. I just wish people weren’t so mean.
