The other day some kid tried to give me a razor blade. He went to hand it to me but I yelled at him and started crying. The consoler saw me and took me to the office and had me write about it. And people say I did it on purpose and I didn't. I tell them that I didn't do anything but they still bother me about it. so today I wore all black to school and had my hair in my face so people couldn't see me crying. they make me feel really bad. I have no clue who to trust anymore. I have trusted all the wrong people this whole year. and I just have no one. I tell you amazing people my story because I think you can help me cope with it but it you cant its ok and fine. </3

I was bullied since preschool. The girls would tell each other not to talk to me and when we would go outside to play I wouldn't have anyone to play with, so I sat on the swings by myself and sang "Part of Your World" from "The Little Mermaid," which made people think I was even more weird. In Elementary school I moved to a different city and these girls would go out of their way to just make me feel so bad about myself and they would tell me that I was "too ugly" to be their friend. I started cutting and developed an eating disorder in 6th grade. In middle school the bullying got worse and I just let people do the things they did to me because I just wanted so badly to fit in. At one point one of my "friends" saw that I was cutting and they said: "why don't you just go kill yourself instead, it's not like anyone will miss you anyway" I was really skinny and weighed about 90 pounds and I had to go to the ER a couple of times in middle school because my bodily functions were shutting down. In high school I still wasn't surrounding myself with people that were good for me so I continued getting bullied by my "friends" until sophomore year when I realized I hit rock bottom when I had to go to the ER again and almost died. I ended those friendships that were bad for my health and took many actions to get myself better. This was a hard period in my life because people love talking about me so me having a eating disorder and cutting got around the whole school and people made fun of me for it. Something positive that came from this though is the fact that people with the same issues as me have come to me for help and advice about what they do and I have been told that I inspired them to get help, which is the most rewarding thing to hear. I am now a senior and I'm graduating in a couple of weeks and now I don't have many friends, but the ones that I do are the greatest people I know. I know that they will never leave me because they stood by me and supported me during one of the hardest times in my life and I can never give them anything that would compare what they have done for me. i obviously have my days where i still have urges to go back to doing what I did to myself for so long but these people keep me strong. I've made so many mistakes with letting people bully me, but I always keep my head up!

nah im good

I was bullied by two boys on the bus and they dident for no apparent reason.I dident know what to do i was alone and scared but u can always tell someone like a parent or a fav teacher.If ur someone who was getting bullied just dont listen to them hang out by a teacher or one of ur friends.Now look at me im happy.:)

I was bullied in grade school at both public AND private schools.  My late father who happened to be a police officer, actually went to the PRIVATE school and had a "talk" with the principal.  It sure helped, but it progressed from boys to girls.  I also had to defend my one twin daughter of being bullied SEXUALLY and filed a sexual harassment suit.  The "principal" was a total "weenie", and stood behind the instigator instead.  All in all, we both survived, but it needs to STOP in ALL schools of all ages and even at the work place!!

I was bullied by a group of girls for no apparent reason. They would give themselves satisfaction by putting others down which is not ok--at all. I started skipping school which didn't help because of social media and cell phones. Nothing changed until I told the only person I could trust, my mom. Immediately the bullies were suspended. When they came back to school they were mad at me until they realized that I wasn't the one they should be mad at. They should have ben angry with themselves. My message is that you need to talk to someone, bullying is not right and should be stopped. By standing up for yourself, you're making a change in the world because when others see you standing up for yourself they will stand up for themselves and others. 

When I was in primary school, I was bullied by some girls who didn't like me and I didn't even know why. In France, we don't have such amazing campaign about how bullying is bad. These girls were really mean to me and I ended up making anxiety attacks every time I had to go to school. My parents didn't know what to do so they went to school with me and we talked to the teacher. So i told them my problem and they tried to find a way to solve the problem. I'm now in high school but this moment is still is my head. And everytime, I saw people picking on people, I intervened. Bullying has to stop. In france, like I said, a lot of teenagers are suffering from bullying but we don't have the opportunity to take action about that.

I was bullied from Kindergarten all through my senior year! In kindergarten I had no friends and my teacher would pretend I was in trouble just so I could stay inside and play. I was mostly bullied on the buss, the names, the threats, to the point I would cry and not want to go to school. I considered suicide several times. It has been 10 years since I graduated and I still cringe when I see the people who bullied me or when I have to go to that school..... and now I sit here and watch as my nephew is going thru the same thing at the same school and it breaks my heart.... something needs to be done

Terrytown Man knows what it is liked to be bullied

My son was diagnosed ADHD and Bipolar Disorder at a very young age. From the age of 4 thru 17, he has been bullied at every school we have been to. At age 6, he was spat on and had his eye orbit fractured by a bully with an aluminum ball bat. Police and school did absolutely nothing. He has battled this demon for a very long time, and the bullying was not always mental, there have been a lot of violent attacks on him because he is different. I am very glad to be a part of this project because as in the movie, I agree, bullying doesn't always start with the parenting skills, it is never dealt with in our school systems. I can only hope that fighting this fight together, we can make a change to the way schools deal with this issue.
