Hi my name is Celeste and i am 16 years old. Bullying started for me in preschool. It was really bad for me. Kids would call me names like fatty, stupid, ugly, dumb, loser, geek (even though i was really one later in high school) and many more, this was mostly in preschool. Once i started in kindergarden it kept getting worse as i grow up. The words would be meaner, the way the treated me was bad and i had little to no friends. Due to all of the bullying i started to cut myself. It went on for awhile until it came to the point where i wanted to commit suicide. When it came to that point i gave up. Everything seemed fine to everyone but i wasn't. When i got into middle school it got even worse. People would call me fat ass, slut, whore, stupid ass, big titties, and so much more that it is so hard to think of them. As it continued the cutting got even worse and the thoughts of suicide and the amount of attempts increased until one day i said ENOUGH. I finaly took a stand for it and told one of my teachers. That teacher told the counsilor about what was happening to me. My counsilor started talking to me and asking me what is going on and i told her and she did something about it but it still continued. Wen my counsilor gave up i decide that i would go straight to the Vice prinicpal and talk to him and he helped me a lot. Each time someone tried to bully me he was always close enough that he could hear it and he would scold the kid(s) in front of the whole school. But unfortunitly it didn't stop until i went to the principal and with the help of the principal, the vice principal and the counsilor it stopped. When i went into high school it started to happen again. I was told before going into high school that i would have to deal with it on my own and that no one at the school would have time for me. But i did prove that wrong. As i got bullied in high school i was still cutting myseelf and having the thoughts of sucicide but the attempts did stop but it was still happening.As the first semsiter went on i unfortnitly i did attempt to commit suicide and i went into a menal hospital and i did get help. When i went back to school i had a lot of staff calling me up to their office and asking me why i didn't go and talk to them before it got so bad. My answer was " I was told you guys didn't care, that you guys had too much on your plate with all of the other students." They told me that is not true, that who ever told you that was trying to harm you mentally. I was very grateful to the staff at my school for telling me the truth. Now i am Bully free and you can be to. :)

When I was younger, I always felt like the odd one out; like I was too ordinary yet not ordinary enough at the same time. Even at a very young age, I never tolerated it when other kids picked on the kids in my classes yet at the same time I never did a great job of sticking up for myself. I didn't have many friends growing up and even now I really don't have many friends that I get together with. I never had a lot of self-confidence and often, I worried about what I did and how every little thing would affect those around me. 

I was often shunned in school, I was a loner in middle school. This was the worst time of my life because at one point, I was the subject of a very cruel rumor that some kids started about me after reading the poems I wrote as a release. Cutting just wasn't enough for me, and it's not like I could do it at school so that was plan B. The rumor was that I had a hit list and was planning to "do a Columbine". Needless to say, this rumor obviously made the other students panic and created a huge problem for me. Even now, it's still really hard for me to talk to anyone about it, let alone type it here, and it's been over 10 years since then. 

Time alone doesn't heal all wounds, I've learned this. But I have also learned how to stand up for myself. I got tired of allowing others to make my life hell just because they thought it was okay. So, one day I looked in the mirror, stared at my reflection, thought about everything I hated about myself and the things people made fun of me for and said, "I don't care." In my head, the only person in the entire world that has to love me unconditionally for who I am, is myself, because I live in this body! It's mine, I am me, and no one can take that from me. Not anymore. I can honestly say, that I haven't had more than two fairly good friends for most of my 25 years of life, and I'm still here because I have accepted myself, flaws and all. 

Many things helped me get through my hellish experiences, music (playing and listening), writing, losing myself in fictional worlds, drawing (very badly), and this saying.

"Free of all, bound by nothing, live your life simply as it is." 

You are not bound to the things others say about you; you are not chained to terrible things they may think about you; your life is exactly that - YOUR LIFE. And no one has the right to take that away from you, in any way, shape, or form. 

Granted, every situation is different, I may have been lucky to pull myself out of the hole I allowed others to throw me into. I just hope that someone reads this and feels like they can turn things around themselves. Everything starts with you, and I feel that as long as you choose to make your life better, things will fall into place. And if you don't have friends, like I don't really have friends, I'll be your friend. I'm weird, awkward, and I like a wide variety of things, but that's what makes me who I am, and I'm not about to change that for anyone. 

Hello, my name is Dotti and I am 57 years old.  I have been bullied all my life and I can honestly say that the scars that were placed on my body from those who bullied me has a story that comes with it. Today,as an Adult I live with Head Trauma Injuries and the being bullied had an great impact in my life.  I don't trust nobody and afraid to make friends or open my heart for anybody to get close to me. My memories of being abuse as a child and being bullied plays over and over in my mind every day like a tape recorder. I still remember the three names of the girls who brought along their friends who would would bullied me to and from school, Judy and Jane and Tracy I pray every day and hope that one day I will be able to move on and to be free from my past that haunts me and one day be free to where I can be able to find the strength to walk outside of my door without looking over my shoulders and to be able to forget my past and look forward to what lies ahead of me. Bully hurts and it does mentally, physically and emotional damage to their victims that lasts for a lifetime. One day be able to make friends and be able to trust again. I can more relate to my dog than I can with human beings. Human beings have only continuously hurt me where animals continue to love me for me.

You never want to cut or self-harm. Trust me, i have been self-harming for about 3 years now and yes, it helps me but i have found a better way to cope with it. Think of every time  that you cut yourself, you are cutting someone who you love and care for more. You would never want to hurt someone you love because that would hurt you even more. Also, another idea is to keep a diary, or journal for the guys. Write down your feelings when you are feeling upset, mad , and even happy! so you can look back when you are older and realize how far you have come. You can all do it, because i have. You can always message me on kik if you guys have one. My username is ca.ssidy, ill always be glad to help. ((:

Hi im Shaunntae. I am 13 years old. Ive been bullied ever since Kindergarten. Its gotten worse since then. Now im in 6th. My everyday life gets worse and worse each day. My teachers told me it was just a part of growing up. But its not. A part of growing up is loosing friends and getting older. Not about getting called names such as,ugly,worthless,weird,freak,fat. Nobody wants to hear that. Nobody deserves it. People shouldn't get bullied because God loves us all the same and made us all equal. Words hurt. It can make people think suicide. When someone bullies someone the person getting bullied never forgets that moment,it scars them for life. Ive been trying to stand up to bullying. Ive told teachers but that didn't help. I even gave a speech to the whole class. I was gonna give up but now im here sharing this with you. I hate bullying and it needs to end now for good and beautiful people dont deserve all this pain. I have a dream and its to change the world. I have a dream to give love to everyone. I have a dream to take away all the hate!!!!

This past Friday, I witnessed a certain person in an argument with another. It was over something simple. We were all in the library at my school and we were all doing our work. This certain person decided to comment on the loud conversation that the two people in front of them were having, of course in a rude way. A few minutes later this certain person decided to make a personal comment about this other certain persons relationship. Now I do notwant to seem noble but, I walked over to him and told this certain person that I did not think that it was okay to rudely tell someone to be quiet when they were not going to do the same. They of course continued to threaten me by telling me that if I did not back off they would hurt me. Now I don't understand why I became severely nervous before I confronted this person, but I told myself that this person needed to understand that it is not okay to comment on other people's lives. Now, whoever may read this should know that whenever the chance may arrive to make a difference, you have to take. There is too much pain in this world to allow others to make others feel inferior for no real reason.
