I grew up doing what people tell me. Do this and do that.  At first, it didn't really matter to me. But when I was in highschool, the bullying got worse. Some of the people in my school began sending me hate messages on Friendster (an old social networking site just like Facebook), via text messages and paper texts (conversation written on paper). Not only that, but whenever I pass by I always got the Ew stares. Some rude comments about my looks, my clothes and overall about me. It hurt alot. It hurt that I haven't even done anything to them but they hated me.  I have no one to turn to at that time. My friends back stabbed me. There were rumors spreading about me. They said I was a slut, a flirt. I didn't know why they did that to me. The worst part of it all was when i wished to just die. I thought there was no hope at all. I cant tell anyone what they did to me because even teachers are mean to me. My bestfriend turned her back against me. I spent so many nights crying myself to sleep, asking why some people wanted to hurt you. BUT, there was this guy and he's a close friend of mine, he is the only one who never judge me. Even though I wear my heart on my sleeves. He always tell me to be positive, he always tell me to have hope. He always appreciates me. He tells me im beautiful even though some people told me im not. He tells me that im strong. I am proud to say that now, I began to stand up for myself. Yes, there are times when i feel like my old self is returning, I always remind myself that there are people like him to will always be there for me and that life is a beautiful thing. We deserve to be happy. We deserve to feel beautiful. I have a little sister, i always remind her to never bully others. To be always careful of the words she says. Because words hurt like being stabbed with  a thousands of newly sharpened knives. She tells me stories of her friends being bullied and i always tell her to be there for them.

My daughter is 10 years old. From the age of 6 (since 1st grade) she has been picked on, called names, pushed into lockers, and even told that she just needs to die. The school rarely does anything about this. When she received a threat on her life I was not informed by the school, instead she came home to tell me. Of course I was furious but it was the weekend and there was nothing I could do about this. I posted to media sites explaining the situation and then on Monday before the first school bell rang my husband and I were both over at the school to question why this was not reported to us. I also asked what happened to the boy who threatened to kill her, the principal said his parents were contacted but he was allowed to remain in school because this was the first time he had ever done anything like that. I do not feel this is right!!

My daughter suffers from depression and I believe it is because of the school. I have had numerous meetings with the school system and at a few of the meetings they continue to tell me there is a very mean group of girls in my daughters class, and then they laugh a little and say we do not know what to do with them!! 

I do not know what else to do for her besides move and change schools. This school system is failing my daughter and so many other kids. I take her to a therapist once a week but I am worried with all of her crying and not wanting to go to school she may do something to try and hurt herself. I am at a loss on what my next move should be.  

I have been cyberbullied for about 2 years already and it wont stop. Since 7th grade i have been bullied about being anorexic and i have ADD and ADHD. It wont stop so iv given up

When i was in elementary school, i was bullied because i wore glasses. I was called four eyes, freak, weirdo. No one wanted to hang out with me, or talk to me. I was really sensitive as a kid, and anything would make me cry. In middle school, i started to wear darker clothes, listen to bands like Black Veil Brides, and Blood On The Dance Floor. I was called a satanist, emo, etc. I got depressed and started eating more. I was then called fat, ugly, freak, etc. I started to self harm, and that made everything worse. I developed an eating disorder, along with trust issues, anxiety, bipolar, paranoia, depression, etc. I had no one and i was starting to think about suicide. I started cutting deeper, and was eating less, and i almost committed suicide. But thank god i didnt. The bullies would have won if that happened. So, i turned to music, and now everything is better. I want to go out, and travel the world sharing my story and helping others. If anyone needs to talk, im here. Or my email is [email protected] Im here to help. <3

okay the whole story started when i was in class in 5th grade. i was at my desk and it was kid getting bully by student. i try so hard to ignore it, but i couldnt so i decide to stand up for that student. by saying ( leave him alone im so tried of you messing with people so just leave people alone) and she did leave people alone . while i was there she didnt mess with no one ever again. 

Hi, my name is Jennie Quiles. In 4th grade i was bullied.  I got on the bus one day and these two girls gave me a note.  The note read, " Your stupid, ugly, fat and you will never be loved by anybody.  You don't have any real friends and everyone hates you." I sat in my seat and sobbed.  As i cried the two girls pointed and laughed and no one said anything.  I got home, threw the note on the table, ran upstairs into my room and cried for hours on end.  My mom contacted the school and the next day the vice principal called me and the two girls down to the office. The girls told her it was just a joke and she let them go and told me i was over dramatizing things.  In 5th grade a group of girls who claimed to be my friends would leave me behind and talk about me and make fun of me.  I may have not been hurt physically but emotional and mental pain is almost just as worse.

I was bullied in middle school. I went to a private lutheran school and was bullied for my weight. I am always emotional and self concious when people look at me ever since 7th grade and I am now 19. Bullying is one of the worst things that could happen it has gotten worse all over the world in so little time. I have been bullied. I know how it feels and im still affected by the words these girls said to me and infront of people after 8 years. I want to make a difference.

Although i have only been bullied a few times in my life, I have seen it 1st hand happening to other students around me. It gave me a sicking feeling and I could never figure out why we just cant accept different people. 

The few times that I have been bullied It was based apon my Race. Even though I am White did not exclude me from being bullied because of my race. PE class I would be called names in Spanish because i stood up for myself when they challenged me to fight them and walked away. Also, because of how me and my girls that where friends close, we would hold hands and were considered the "weird" group in the class. But none of us cared, we carried on with our daily lives having fun being BFFL's, till they started threatening us. I ended up alerting my PE teacher to the threats and my parents as well. I was shocked how long it took my schools staff to act on the bullying. It took my parents many emails and phone calls till they finally said "if anything happens to me that they will be held responsible because they have known about what was going on but never did anything about it."I could not believe that it took my parents threatening the school board to have then remove the girls from our class to try and solve the issue.
