How i came back…
Anonymous

Well, as all people here i have been also bullied…My story started when my teenage routine started….
I was bullied,first by my family,my teachers then my friends…I really don’t know why i call them my friends,actually they aren’t…I was like: I really wanted to die, and a lot of times i’ve told my parents bout this,but they never wanted to hear me…Friends started beating me , a guy who destroyed my life pushed me from the stairs,my teachers offended me so many times, and my parent’s idk they’ve always screamed into me…
The high school started,i was so lost, there were a long time that i hadn’t smile, i couldn’t trust anyone…I met a guy…The one who really wanted to know my story , i told him that i want to die, but he with his loyalty helped me to be who i am today..I believe,smile,laugh,enjoy life and do what i want…The guy is my bestie today….I met an another girl who showed me the big love that i needed, and i’m so thankful for forever…
Everyone needs a real bestie,i was so stupid that i’ve cared bout what other people said, now i’m back and i know that life sometimes is so hard but it dosen’t means that we should give up…!

When I started 6th Grade I was happy. Two weeks later I was depressed and suicidal. The thing that really struck me was that I didn’t know them and they didn’t know me! But that didn’t stop them, no they hit me and called me names I not dare write. One time the bully kicked me in the shin and I tripped. I asked him why he did that, he said because I was a fat nerd and I deserved it. Then he shoved me against the wall and told me my life was worthless and no one loved me. I asked how I could make him stop. He said to kill my self. I’ve always had severe anxiety and was afraid to tell anyone and when I did they told me to suck it up. When I finally told my parents, they contacted the school administration and they said they couldn’t do anything. So my parents decided to homeschool me and I’m still recovering from the bullying two years later and yet I don’t feel better.

You’re not alone.Remember we know how you feel.I got bullied and didnt get over it until i spoke to someone.Bullying isnt something you deserve.But pick yourself up brush off the words and enjoy your life.One step at a time.Its hard i know.But ask yourself this.Is it worth the pain,the tears.NO.you’re worth it.You belong on this Earth.You can do this.Your gonna be fine if you focus on the future and forget the past.Its not easy but i have faith in you to start with saying these simple words:
I AM WORTH IT AND I AM PERFECT NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY.
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL SO START REALISING IT AND ENJOY 🙂

When i was in 7th grade i was getting bullied by this boy he used to follow me around and everything and call me names and at some points i did consider suicide i thought mabye the world would be better off without me and nobody would miss me but somedays i felt okay and like mabye my family would miss me so i kept going on i faked being sick for a whole week so i wouldnt have to go. It continued all throught 7th grade then in 8th grade it continued but got worse there were now rumors that i had slept with him and got pregnant so what did i do i begged my mom to let me do virtual school and she did i am now going back to public school and hoping things get better i still have suicidal thought and am very depressed but i wanted to share this so you would know your not alone.

I’ve come along way which I thank God because if it wasn’t for him then I don’t know where I would be at this moment.
When I was at secondary school, at that time I use to have low self esteem about myself because I always used to degrade myself, due to the way people from secondary school were mocking and bullying me about my acne. People used to call me ‘doctor dot’ or either ‘ugly’ and would do horrible things to me by pulling up my skirt etc. Their words really did hurt me which I wasn’t accepted and I would constantly cry, I used to hang around all by myself, spend the break by myself and even have lunch by myself. I remember someone telling me this ‘if you continue with these spots on your face you will not get married. There was a time where I bunked my lesson by locking myself inside the Ladies toilet because I couldn’t take the insults and mockings from people anymore, imagine you have not done nothing to people but people will just have to victimise you for no reason. I used to look at myself in front of the mirror and tell myself I am ugly because I allowed people’s negative word to dominate me which I was a very weak person I will even ask God, ‘why was I created like this?’. My advisor who was like a mother to me which she never gave up on me will advise and motivate me constantly and tell me that I’m beautiful. From time to time while I was growing up I was rebuilding my confidence and learning to disallow people’s negative word to waterdown my greatness. I thank God for making me the woman that I am today, because I believe that God did not make a mistake to create me, for he has wonderful plans for me. For the best is yet to come! Bullies never win because they are weak, learn to defend yourself and don’t allow people’s negative word to waterdown your greatness.
Remember that you are beautiful!

I hate myself
Living is hard but I don’t want to die
I’m not suicidal, just tired

When counsellors come to class
Tell us we should have fun,
That school should be a good time

I laugh

I hear voices in my head
Telling me “you’re nothing”
Reliving my worst memories

I’ll be doing some everyday task
But I can’t because all I can think
Is “you’re nothing”

I cry out, the pain too much
Will someone hear?
But no one cares

“Speak out, don’t silence your voice”
They say
But when I do, they only laugh

“Look at her attention-seeking self.
Using poetry? How cliché.”
But it’s the only way I can speak

Helphelphelphelphelp

I hate myself
Living is too hard but I don’t want to die
I’m not suicidal, just tired.

I was playing a game I like…I was about 2 hours in and I was getting spammed with “mackenzie is so fat” or “Mackenzie’s mom is so fat and her dad is so ugly” at that point I was crying…this was about an hour ago and I’m still crying……I now am not telling anyone else other than this website what happened……I’ve changed forever.

In school i was a geek, and a loner. People called me names and hit me , called me ugly and hated me but I never give up and I still try to do my best in school. Now it’s my last year in school I am graduating but that doesn’t make it any easier for me cause I am still being bullied but it does not change the way I see my life or the way I see myself.
