Like most kids, I was often picked on all throughout middle school and high school. Although I became used to it once I reached 7th grade, a situation arose that year that made the bullying more than I could handle.

One of my best friends, Stefanie, was considered to be a "popular" kid, along with whatever that meek description meant back in middle school. I had been tutoring her in math because she was struggling - on the latest exam we had taken, I had scored higher than she had. For some unknown reason, she got extremely angry with me. From that moment on, she began to pick on me relentlessly.

I was an extremely overweight kid, and that was the focal point of Stefanie's teasing. I just never seemed to shed my baby fat until I reached high school. Stefanie would throw my books on the ground, pinch me, call me names, write things in the bathroom about me. It was honestly the worst experience of my life, even though I was so young. It impacted me immensely, and still does to this day. I developed severe depression, along with anorexia. I dropped from 250 pounds to 90 pounds within a year. I always wore baggy clothes because I was convinced that no matter how much weight I lost, I would always be known as the fat girl.

My mother took it upon herself to contact the school authorities - to our surprise, they did absolutely nothing about it. They claimed to have talked to my bully, but nothing changed. My mother spent endless hours calling my school district. She finally got fed up, and called the New York State Board of Education, and let them know about my situation. Because of that phone call, Stefanie's schedule was changed so that I would not be in any of her classes. Her locker was moved into a different hall so it would be difficult for her to see me. I thought things would get better with this new found change, and for a while, they did.

But unfortunately, high school came, and the administration seemed to think Stefanie would stop bullying me on her own. She didn't. MySpace had been really popular back then, and I had a secret profile hidden from my parents, because they hadn't wanted me to make one. Stefanie found me on there, and posted my pictures all over the Internet saying horrible, untrue things about me. About how many people I had supposedly slept with (mind you, I was a freshmen in high school, and was literally the most meek and prude girl to ever roam the Earth). I handled the cyber-bullying as best as I could - I blocked Stefanie off of MySpace, and eventually just deleted my profile all together. I had told my parents, and, to my relief, they weren't angry, but they had contacted my high school's administration and informed them that they would file charges as well as a restraining order if Stefanie continued to bother me. I made a FaceBook with my first and middle name so she would not be able to find me, and added only my family members and extremely close friends that were not friendly with Stefanie.

For a while, things were really good. I was getting back on track with my weight - I became a healthy 135 pounds, and I was happy with that. I was doing well in school, and had found my passion and hobby in art. I enrolled in all the art classes possible, and found my solace in that. Then came the day of the art show when I was a junior in high school. Stefanie hadn't bothered me for well over a year, so I figured everything was over, that she had grown up. I had all of my art work displayed from the past two years that I had worked a lot on, and was proud of. There were going to be college scouts from art schools, along with scholarship sponsors, at the art show to view the art scout out potential future students.

The morning of the art show, I came in early along with the other art students to begin to set up. As I walked into my art class, I went over to my work, and all of my art was destroyed. Completely ripped apart, or with holes in it, or paint splashed on it. That was the worst memory that I have. Everything I had worked so hard on was destroyed for absolutely no reason at all. Luckily, after watching the surveillance videos, it was discovered that Stefanie, along with two of her other friends that had picked on me, had snuck in the art room during their softball practice and destroyed my art work. Intentionally. To hurt me, to show that Stefanie still had the power. Well, those girls finally got expelled, and I finished my last year of high school with minimal trouble.

I graduated high school and moved away to go to college, which is a completely different world. I realized that not everybody is going to bully you, that there are truly, genuinely, good people out there. Now, I'm going on to my junior year of undergraduate school. I look back at those times I had suffered through, and I can't believe the administration was not providing more help or support than it did. Stefanie was an awful person who did awful things, but I finally have the ability to forgive her. I realized how horrible her life must have been in order to take out all of her stress, anger, and hurt feelings on me, when I had just tried to help her. I will never fully understand why bullies do what they do - I could never, ever, intentionally hurt another person, it's not who I am and it's not how I was raised. Although my bullying experience has definitely impacted my life, I try to no longer let it weigh me down and cloud my vision to the good things in life. I fully support The Bully Project and pledge to be an advocate for children and adults who are bullied.

In middle school I moved from a big city to a small town. Everyone there had their group of friends. No one really wanted anything to do with me. Kids would talk to me, but I never felt a connection. I felt like they associated with me because the had to. No one was really a friend. I didn't get time outside of school to spend time with anyone. I felt so alone. My parents worked full time jobs and I never got to see them. Then I was made fun of for having long hair. Then I was "too fat" to have friends. It was terrible. I felt (and sometimes still feel even though I'm engaged and loved) that I was a nobody, that I don't deserve anything. That no body cared. That I wasn't loved. Case in point: I was suicidal. Why what did I do to be bullied and picked on mentally and emotionally everyday? It was a rough time. I managed to make one friend, and someone tried to swoop her up. I was told that sorry, you can't be friends with her anymore, you have no one...

But through plenty of prayers, that all changed. 

I have recently been blessed with an amazing fiance who loves me to the moon and back - he's helped a lot with my self esteem issues after growing up bullied. Shout out to all of you reading this, you are beautiful. You are worth it. You are loved. I love you. More than you can ever fathom.  Don't give up. You can only go up from here. Now lets kick butt and end bullying!

Hi my name is Samantha. When I was in 7th grade I started at a new school. I thought it was going to be great. Make new friends, but that all changed. One day kids started to call me names, hit me, throw stuff at me. So I would go home everyday day and cry. I was so depressed. From 7th-12grade it was so bad that I started cutting myself. I wouldn't eat at all. It got so bad that I had to be in the hospital for a whole. My stupid ass school district did nothing about it. So now it has been 6 years since I graduated high school and I have tried to end my life about 4 times, but I'm still here, for some reason I do not know. That's my story. Kids Are so cruel today. I just hope other kids can find the courage to stand up to the bullies. I never had the courage to.

Hi, my name is Hailey. I live in a town called Staunton in Virginia. I've been bullied multiply times because im not what they want me to be. Maybe its i need to lose weight or im not pretty enough for anyone or that i'm an attention seeker. But its gotten to the point where it is hurting me, and making me hurt myself. I have scars everywhere and none of the kids understand that those scars are there because of what they say to me. I hurt myself because i feel i deserve it. Maybe i do because that's what the kids say. Its hard to wake up every morning know I am alive or that i have to go to school. This is not only staring to hurt me but my parents also. The teachers do nothing about it mostly because they don't care. If i talk in class to answer a question everyone gets quiet and laughs about my anxiety. Its not funny. It hurts and i cant say anything to them because i know they will hurt me more. One time i had a couple of kids tell me to kill myself or that i was worthless. Its very hard to wake up and deal with some of this everyday. But im getting through. These kids just need to know what they say is very hurtful, and that i or someone else being bullied could easily take my or there life. I just feel that kids should watch what they say. Bullying needs to be stopped. Its hurting people and no one sees but us.  

 

My thoughts.. Why don't they ever talk to me? Did I do something? I didn't do anything wrong so why are they being rude? Why don't I get pass to a lot? Why are they hogging the ball? Here's my tip to people who think there better then everyone else. 1) confront them. Ask them why they are so mean to everyone but there close friends? 2) If that doesn't work tell a coach. 3) if the coach doesn't do anything about it then go to someone who can help. 4) Be yourself and show them what you can do. Don't give up in what you believe in:) STAND UP

Hi my name is mindy and I was bully from middle school through high school. I was told I was ugly, stupid, fat, and many other things. I even got trip up and bang my head pretty bad in middle school cause a guy thought I was ugly and no help me they just look. I still have a small scar on my head from that incident. I felt like a nobody and I try to fit it but it didn't work. It got a little better during my last two years of high school because I just learn to ignore it but, people still tried to bully me. After I graduated from high school I felt like it was finally over but, the scars were still with me and I have dealt with many years of depression because of those scars. Now at 25 I can say that I am learning to be happy with myself and I have being to enjoy life a little more and those scars I have from my days of being bully has made me stronger than I ever thought I could be. So in conclusion, I just want to say to anyone who is being bully to stay strong and know you are not alone! One day it will get better even if it doesn't seem like it trust me it dose. I have also became an advocate against bullying and will do what I can to fix this problem so no one will have to go through this issue.

About a year and half ago i was friends with a girl who always took off with boys and left me behind. i didn't like it so i told her no more friendship and walked away. from then on she had been stalking me and telling other people its the other way around. i had a 22 year old guy come to my house on Christmas break with the girl and he was gonna beat me up... i was 16 at the time... my mom and dad and neighbors were protecting me. When i got back to school, people were pushing me hitting me because apparently i harassed her grandfather. (really the 21 year old) i could not take it no more i ran away, far away. but called my mom cause i wanted to go home after 3 months. then i came back to school it still kept going so i took a knife.. and ended up in the hospital from there. the school was informed of all of this, but they didn't remove me from the situation until i almost ended my life. Nobody knows the truth about the situation. but i was removed from the school and i got help, apparently i'm insane. 

Why are people so cruel? We live on this planet as one, to keep it clean, healthy and happy. But, where is all the happiness? All I see is hatred and critism, selfishness, maybe even some cruel, cruel people. So many questions to be answered but nobody will ever find out the truth. Just remeber this story for your kids sake. no mother has to go through what my did, and no teen dissevers this.
