my story about being bullied

Anonymous

since I started secondary school I got bullied well to be honest I got bullied through primary as well but not as much as I have in secondary school. I got bullied for many different reasons like my weight, my looks and how rich or poor I was . Many people believed that I was obese for my age and it really hurt to be told that. My looks I admit I didn’t really like the way I looked but I didn’t care what I looked like, but when everyone bullied me for not having the best eyebrows or other facial features it really got to me so I started wearing a bit of makeup, but no matter what I tried I still got bullied. Also money wise I know many people wouldn’t understand this reason but whenever my friends wanted me to go up town with them or went clothes shopping I declined because it would’ve ended badly for me . I didn’t tell my mates for awhile about my money problem but they found out and of course I got bullied for it. The one thing no one really wanted to notice about me was my personality I mean I may not be the smartest person there is but that doesn’t matter the thing that matters was that I got judged on the things that didn’t matter when really they should’ve judged me on the important things. I do admit I may still be a teenager and not understand things completely but I understand bullying. And I will still be bullied throughout life because no matter where you are in life bullies are everywhere. So here’s quite a bit of advice for everyone who has suffered or still suffers from bullying. Yes you may still continue to be bullied and tormented but what you have to think is that the only reason why you get bullied isn’t to do with you its to do with the actual bully. Bullies only bully people to fit in or some do it because they got bullied but still there’s no excuse for bullying. And if you have ever thought about going against your bully and thinking will this make me a bully it wont because you are just teaching the bully that its not nice to be threatened and tormented. I always and sometimes do still think that question ‘If I go against someone who is bullying me does that make me a bigger bully and the truth is it doesn’t. Be yourself no matter what other people think about you it only matters what you think about yourself.
