Just Because
November 6, 2017
I am the kind of girl everyone likes, i;m the kind of girl that has lots of friends, i’m the girl that everyone comes to when they need help. Now i’m the girl everyone hates, gets made fun of and has no friends anymore. I was popular and tough and athletic. I didn’t think that anyone could break me, until my boyfriend dumped me for my best friend, when my dad left me, when my mom died, when my world fell apart. When I went back to high school the next week I dropped out of track and cheer, I heard a comment that someone said, it was: “yay guys she’s finally gone, the curse is gone, it’s ok, no more worrying.” It was my best friend, or who I thought was my best friend. The next day was even worse, I got spit on and called a piece of crap. Everyone laughed at me. When I would walk into the room, people would ask each other if it smelled . When I know they were just trying to get a kick out of my terrible life. I was okay physically but not emotionally. I got a call from my dad a few weeks later. I went and lived with him for a few months in the summer. I moved away from that terrible school. I now have new friends and a new family. everything will get better if you just deal with it.
stay true to you no matter the issue

i don’t know why but i’ve been a victim of bullying my entire life (18 now). Even by those that were supposed to love me and protect me from this messed up world. i was told i was ugly and had a big nose. i was told i was weird and didn’t belong. all i did was try to make others laugh so maybe they would like me but it never worked. i felt alienated and helpless, i moved quite a lot so it was a new scenario frequently. for a while i was an outcast no matter where i went i was always left out of events by the people i called friends, ignored. with age i did learn that i can not please everyone and that if they didn’t like me, oh well. with this mindset i gained a small amount of confidence which attracted a few “friends”. although on the inside it was a never ending battle in my head. i criticized myself 24/7, called myself ugly or annoying on the inside, i was my own worst enemy. later in my life i came to terms that i was gay, something i knew i could not change no matter how hard i tried. i came out to my friends in 9th grade of which i received a lot of support from, but yet and still there were those that just seemed out to get me. saying they were going to hit me just because i was gay. this situation further endangered my best friend of the time because he chose to stand up for me, this would have brought joy to others knowing that they had others that cared enough to do so, but instead i felt grief, pain, self hate, and lack of self worth because he was put in danger based on my existence and i could do nothing to help. even though he was not harmed i still felt anger build up inside of me over something so immature. for a while i was lost but over time i have developed an “i dont care attitude” but i have also harbored anger i wish to get rid of but can’t. what i’ve learned through my now 18 years of living is that yes words do hurt but it only matters if you let it. things will get better and you must stay true to yourself. dont conform for others because even the people who are supposed to love you will make you the worst. it never hurts to put yourself first.

I don’t know if there was something in my voice, the way I carried myself, or what, but I was a favorite target of bullies. I was one of the smallest kids in the school and had a speech impediment. I didn’t know how to fight back, and so the students thought that it would be easy to torment me. This continued up until the end of elementary school. Once I reached middle school, I was physically bullied as well as mentally. I would be pushed down and stepped on in the halls, knocked into walls and called freak, or kids would just call out insults as they walked past. I didn’t find myself until I reached high school and one of the teachers decided to implement a Cool 2 Be Kind club. I think this club saved my life, for I was very insecure about myself and the couple of teachers who dealt with the club basically took me under their wings. I have since then found my feet and try my best to help others who go through situations similar to my own.
turn on me

my best friend was telling me that i was doing a wrong article in class and got really bossy. then she started to tease me and i thought it was just funny so i laughed along. then when i got home i cried myself to sleep because i relized she was making comments about my body. this made me insecure and very self conscious . the teasing got worse and it wasnt just about my appearance. i thought she was my best friend. i confronted her for it. she got even more upset and started to bully me more. i went to a teacher but honestly they don’t do anything. they just told her to stop but the next day the bullying continued.
My Story
October 30, 2017
(I am changing names for privacy reasons)
So last year (freshmen year) I woke up one morning with a whole bunch of texts from my friends asking if I had saw S’s snap story. I had said no, so my friend L sent me a screenshot of the post him and his buddy R posted. It was a diss rap, for those of you who don’t know what it is basically its a song made up of mean things about you. They made my life hell from that point on. They spread rumors about me got everyone to believe what they said about me. So many people would come up to me and ask and say mean things to me. This lasted for about six months just those two. My grades suffered and I just tried to make it one day at a time. But once track season started it got worse. The group got bigger it was now like six to ten people. To fill you all in when I run track and cross country at the end of the race I pass out every time. At one meet I was prepping for my 400m dash and my other friend told me the group of people had shown up to record me pass out at the end of my race. I couldn’t believe it the one place I could let go and be myself they had taken it away from me too. So I ran the race, I have never pushed harder in my life I wanted to show them all up that I wasn’t weak like they said I was. That race I didn’t pass out thankfully but it still wasn’t over they showed up to my practice to just maybe catch me passing out. Finally, the school stepped in and started doing something about it the group of people bulling me they weren’t allowed to go to any afterschool activities anymore. The school said if it happens again they are getting the police involved. Now my sophomore year is much better and the school changed the cyberbullying policy. So to all of you reading this if you are getting bullied hang in there, it will get better I promise. You don’t know how much better of a person you are then that person or persons. You are not alone!
alone

so mostly when i was in middle school but also in my 9th grade year i went to a very small school, as i said i had been going there for years, and was absolutely miserable. i dont know to this day if what they did was on purpose, but they seemed to make it their objective to make sure i didn’t fit in, there was never enough room for me at lunch, ever, and they talked about me behind my back alot. i got really depressed, and had some serious issues because i thought that it was my fault, that i was socially awkward, or rude, or not good enough, so i tried to better, and i just got worse and worse. in my experience you can’t just tell an adult about ths kind of bulying. It is almost unnoticable, and is often thougth by outsiders that the victem is antisocial or mean. this hurt me alot all throughout middleschool.
Why me
October 26, 2017
During my 6th grade year I was bullied really bad by a group of boys they made me feel like i was no one.I told my mom but she did not care it really hurt and still to this day I am being bullied
How bullying has affected my outlook on myself.
October 26, 2017
It started when I was in 4th grade. I was never a popular girl. I did my own thing. I was very friendly and would talk to anyone, but other people did not want to talk to me. I used to be very obsessed with the cartoon “my little pony”. I used to talk about it in school, bring little pony toys to class, draw them, and act like ponies at recess. This caused a lot of trouble for me. Nobody wanted to be my friend, everyone called me weird and said I was a baby because my love of the show. This hurt because I was only doing what I love and being myself , just to find out i’d be rejected because of who I was. Fast forward to middle school. I became the quiet “dark” type of girl. I had been struck with the very bad and awkward side of going through puberty so as you can guess, I was not very physically appealing. I was bullied for my looks. Called ugly for not looking like the pop star and rap girls everyone seemed to worship. I was also avoided and bullied for my interests. I was into anime and drawing typical unpopular “geeky” things. still TO THIS DAY I have a bad rap because of being myself in 6th grade. 7th grade it got a bit more serious. I started wearing dark colors and listening to metal, rock, alternative. That kind of stuff. Obviously, I was bullied for this too. Everyone else listened to rap, which isn’t a bad thing considering I listen to rap now, but still doesn’t mean its okay to put others down for their taste. I was called “emo” “evil” . I got punched in the arm for no reason one day. No reason. I’ve never talked to this kid in my life. I was antisocial. Friendless, awkward. I ended up very suicidal due to this, and because of an abusive relationship ( but thats nobody’s business) . I started self harming. Self esteem basically non existent. I felt wrong for being myself. Ugly. Weird. Rejected. Why couldn’t I be like the pretty popular girls? Tons of friends, good social skills, beautiful. Everything I wasnt. This only made me hate myself more. I envied what they had. In 8th grade I attempted to change for other people and I hated it. I wanted to be myself so bad, but knew id be rejected. I am now in 9th grade but am still greatly affected by what happened. I have many friends now and im not bullied anymore. Avoided and picked on by past schoolmates? Yes. But not bullied anymore. And im greatly thankful for that. I still have self esteem issues, anxiety, and depression, but I’ve been getting better. I dont self harm anymore. So yeah, thats my story. All I can say is please, please dont harass others for their looks, interests, ect. Some people dont care and can handle it, but others will be incredibly affected by it like I was and still am. Please be a decent person.
