   My high school experience was terrible. It was beyond awful. I had gone through a lot of terrible experiences, but the worst I would have to say is bullying. Considering all of the terrible stuff I have been through, that is definitely saying something.

   I was always a little socially awkward and I had dealt with my fair share of mental problems for years. When I was in 7th grade, I had started to receive emails and texts telling me to go kill myself and that I am a "worthless piece of shit". The minute I joined Facebook, things got so much worse. Messages from people came in telling me the same things and worse. Being attacked and called a "whore" and a "waste of space on this earth". This happened throughout middle school and high school. Unfortunately, it wasn't only cyberbullying. Almost every day of my high school career, I had been subject to bullying.

   I used to be a pretty small kid. My freshman year of high school, I was locked in a band locker and someone took a picture of me. He then proceeded to put it on Facebook with the caption of, "Animal In Her Cage". That was a terrible way to start my high school career, and a horrible punch to my self esteem. During school hours, people stabbed me in the back, spread rumors, snickered about me. But I was also shoved around, put down to my face, and treated absolutely horribly. I understood that I had my own struggles and that I had been dealing with a lot of things, but the last thing I needed was to be treated so horribly by my peers to the point that I just wasn't comfortable being at school anymore.

   The big breaking point was a couple of weeks before I was hospitalized for an eating disorder (which bullying contributed a lot to). I was offered a seat to sit in at lunch in the band room. I sat down thinking they were just being friendly. I was then held down, duct taped to the chair, paraded around school with what could have been a hundred students taking photos. After that humiliation, I was turned on my side while still duct taped to the chair, left to fend for myself as I struggled to get out. It was until a male student came up and ordered people to cut me loose, that I was finally set free. That night, photos and videos were posted on facebook with comments like “Bound and gagged, that’s the way we like it” and “That skank was finally left alone on the ground”. It was cruel and terrible. I considered hurting myself because at that point, I was just done. I wanted to give up on everything until I was reminded that all pain is temporary. The next day, I ordered the girls that put the video up, to take it down. They didn’t.

   I was bullied into self destruction. I have a long history of self harm and had developed Anorexia because I felt so out of control of everything. I hated myself, but I had to suck it up and deal with it because life goes on, and people will be people. I work now to advocate for bully victims and for people who are recovering/recovered from eating disorders. The first step is taking a stance and talking about it, the next step is to take action. We have to STOP bullying!

IT STARTS WITH US, IT ENDS WITH US.

I started getting bullied in 8th grade it was bad but only to get worse! By the time I was n highschool I was getting beat up they threatened me wit a knife and said theyd cut out my tongue to keep me quiet this happened in the highschool bath rooms and the principal did nothing about it. This all happened before columbine. Thank god there is more out about bullying! then my family was getting threatened,phone harassment threatening to burn house down,and harm us so had to tap our phone lines. They keyed all our cars,no one wanted to b my friend because then they wood receive the same harassment I received! My father was n denial and told me to ignore it and it would go away RIGHT! while mom was opposite 'beat their ass' I was terrified of these people.I couldn't fight them there were too many of them. I was alone, depressed,suicidal and worst of all,all I could think of was how to kill them and then kill myself! I felt so damaged and worthless! I have diabetes,lupus,rhumatoid arthritis and worst of all I'm bipolar with PTSD due to all the bullying and I suffer from other pshyc problems. My doctors told my mom to get me out of this situation or I could go into coma due to high blood sugars or even suicide or even worse horrible violence! Thank god my parents had the funds for my mom and I to move from a very small town to the city to finish my junior and senior years. It saved my life and possibly others! Today I'm 42 and still hv terrible self esteem issues along wit others personal issues. I have got to let it go, I'm a believer in god, and I pray but I can't seem to let it go any advice?

I it'll get pick on and they called me fat readtrd and stupid and shutlp and they talk behind my back and I cant take it anymore.😢

- is being different wrong? everyone is meant to love whoever.. right? so why is it wrong to do so?

Closets are for clothes not for me. I deny being who I am because one shouldn't assume that the way someone acts or dresses defines who they actually are. I've been called gay, fag, abomination and why? Because I'm different. "You're gay!" they say. "When you see me kiss a guy, come talk tell me I'm gay. Until then don't assume stuff." always the answer.

- My bestfriend asked "When did you find out you were.. you know."

- Me " You don't get to choose who you are and you don't find out. You were born to be different. When people say they find out, they really aren't looking to find out. They only finally realize that they stop doubting who they are, they realize they can't escape. They don't find out.. they just stop doubting and realizing that it's part of them."
