Hello, I'm Elizabeth. I'm 16 years old.
Well, like any other child, I had created that one Myspace thing.I was indeed in 5th grade while Myspace was "huge". My cousin created one for me. I wasn't really into it but I thought "Hey why not?", for a couple of weeks it was all good, and i had some of my friends added as friends. Noo big deal, it was ok and the time went on. I would get on to play more games than to chat with anyone because come on why would i chat with people i see everyday. Till one day these girls decided it would be funny to make fake profiles of "famous" people and to add me. I didn't accept at all, but they were able to message me. They said rude stuff. They called me "ugly" "fat" and they spread around the school that I "stink". They acted like my "friends" in school, but i knew they were the worst of people. They would tell everyone things about me that i didnt even know about me. It made me cry. I would go home wanting to end my life. I WAS IN THE 5TH GRADE! I shouldn't be thinking things like that, but they made me think that way. First "boyfriend" came around and he would do the same, except he would use his real profile and say the meanest things to me when he broke up with me. I was still in the 5th grade. I couldn't take it anymore. So, I resorted to self-harm. Young and hurting myself. They kept cyber-bullying me with no problem. They laughed and laughed. It went on for two to three years. I deleted Myspace and tried not to think of it. Either way i still thought of it. I hated myself. I really did. I still do. I had hard time making friends after that. I became antisocial and socially awkward. People have to come talk to me if they want to be friends, but i didn't trust them easily. Not to mention my brother adds to the problem. He says im going to be a disappointment to the family. He reminds me of my suicidal mind when he gets the chance. I'm surprised i still am here. I have home problems as well but im not going to get into that.
I'm now in high school. Now, I'm scared to keep Facebook because a few months ago i got cyber-bullied once again. I log on and avoid messaging anyone or accepting anyone. Now i have big trust issues. I push people away. The girls who started it, I see everyday in high school. They still talk bad about me, and act like i still don't know they cyber-bullied me. I can never forgive them, ever. They broke me down and now I'm losing friends for being insecure and pushing people away. I feel terrible, but i cannot mend friendships.

My name is Ashley Michelle Winterburn i am 16 years old. I have been getting bullied everyday since i was in 5th grade. I been pushed around, hit, slap, and pushed aside. I use to way over 150 pounds when I was in 5th grade and i got teased everyday for it. I got told i should die or why am i living? No one likes me. All that just made me want to die. Now this year in high school i been bullied. High school sucks. Rumors is been getting worst ans worst. They are "She pregnant, She such a whore, She ugly, Why is she living?," all that makes me feel very upset. It really suck whe you dont have any friends to step up for you. When people say those rumors others believe them and they look at me like i am a peice of crap. Now that aint fair. I been trying to walk away and ignore it, but nothing is working. I told teachers and adults and they act like they dont really care. I just want it to stop! I been trying to get Berrien County High to start a Anti-bullying program, but so far nothing is working. I just want to leave this county and neever come back! Some people is just cruel. Everyday i just feel like dieing, because of this school. No one will help me!

I started to Snapchat a boy who was my age and my friend's friend. He wasn't a stranger. I thought he liked me as a really good friend. In the deep side of it, he told my friend he hated me, never wanted me to talk to him, ugly, and annoying. Then, my friends saw me and went into the library and didn't ever talked to me, they just left me. I questioned myself. Was I worth it? In reality, of course I am, why wouldn't I be?

Hey I'm Victoria. I am a freshman at my high school In farmington hills, Michigan And here is my story. I get bullied everyday at school pretty much. The only people who got my back is my boyfriend and my best friend.. I lost many friends this year Due to a stupid thing I did last year And that was giving oral to a guy I thought was my first love. Of course guys talk and it was around school by the end if the day . It followed me... It followed me to high school! Walking threw the hallways hopeless while the black kids pointed, laughed and made fun of me,, Mostly the black females. It's been 7 cold months into school and the first 2 months I cried every night , I wanted to die I prayed to god that he takes me out while I sleep . I also became very violent I wanted people to be dead , I wanted to kill But I didn't. I bit my fucking tongue until I met my boyfriend. He made me feel safe . The guys were scared to fight him and the girls were too. If it wasn't for him, I would've been dead now . He makes me happy. Before I met him I was a crybaby , and I was not ever happy it's hard to believe but 3 months ago without him I didn't laugh, crack a real smile , or was happy. I still go threw the same shit but I got my boyfriend . He completes me :)

you need to tell that kid to grow a set of balls------and than tell the mother to clean up her act----do you people really think that it doesn't screw up that kids mind------------think about it

When I was a little girl of 6 years old I was bullied by my own cousin... Yeah I know it doesn't sound right at all, but she was older than me by about 2-3 years and I really didn't know what to do. But when I started to get bullied at my elementary school too I started to feel really lonely. Until I met a girl who was bullied herself too but our friendship didn't last long she soon moved. And I soon moved too and went off to middle school where not many things changed, I continued to get bullied and I soon wanted to just find a way to get out of everything that was going but trying to commit suicide wasn't the answer and I knew that. At the age of 14 I lost my best friend that I've had sense forever, and once that happened I was known later on as that quite girl I rarely talked to anyone because I was always judged and never seemed to be liked by many also because no one really seemed to know what it was that I felt exactly. But once I got involve in my schools program I started to gain friends and soon I was okay. But now as a high school junior it's been only me, my books, and my phone. Not many people talk to me and lately the little friends I had turned on me because I got better options at a four year university instead of a two year community college. But now that've found at least a handful of friends that accept me for who I am I've found myself to be much happier. But whenever I look back I see myself feeling some way that can't be described... You can't describe this feeling you could only know what it is by feeling it yourself as well. But now one day I'd like to be that person that helps out others that go through something similar to what I went through. And one day I will be that person that helps others.

Well I notice a lot of bullying. And we had this movement people come to our school and talk about it. But I feel like some never Relize that when you say something mean..to someone.. you don't know what's going on in there life like you could be making there day or life 10x worse. I stood up for a girl who was getting bullied. I feel like that nobody ever always listens. And It should get to them... it's sad to see people being bullied... I would stand up but I see not much confidence in some.. I will help but I want others to start so bullying won't be an always thing.

Bulling started in 3rd grade. I bullied back to "defend" myself. Boys would hit me, slap me, trip me, they treated me like if I were a guy. There was nothing to stop it! Bulling followed me up to Middle School, in 6th grade, a guy socked me right in the jaw. I socked him as hard as I could until the teacher had to come and separate us. 7th grade came along, my parents would fight and talk about divorce in front of me and not care. I saw my dad cheat on my mom and I couldn't do anything but cry and cut. My "friend" talked me into cutting, I got addicted. I would be the most depressed person you could ever meet. One day, my dad helped me out carrying my stuff to school. One of my classmates saw me and laughed but I didn't say anything until I got to school. My classmate called my dad "gay" because he was helping my carry my stuff. I couldn't take the bulling no more, so I stood up for myself and since that day NO ONE dared to bully me again. Things got better, I got help, and before you knew it, I stopped cutting. Now, my goal is to help out other people who have been in my shoes. I hope this reaches out to people out there!! ❤️ ~ Loving life, Living love ~ 💕

I am writing again about my son being bullied at School. It has been almost 4 months since my son was attacked by another Student in the lunchroom, and nothing has changed. He is still getting bullied. We are on Spring Break at the moment, but the week before Spring Break, my son was stabbed with a pencil by another Student. We took him to the ER because the led was still in the upper palm of his hand. The Dr could not get it out. Though we do not have to worry about lead poisoning we did have to worry about infection. The big piece of lead has moved closer to the center part of the palm of his hand, so hopefully it will work it's way out. The following day while in Music class, all the students were sitting in chairs in a circle around the Teacher. My son dropped his pencil, so he leaned out of his chair to pick it up. When he went to set back down his chair was no longer their and he fell back and hit his head hard on the edge of a table. He felt light headed and he said it hurt pretty bad. He said it hurt bad enough that he was holding the back of his head and kind of walking around light headed and the Teacher told him to sit down or she was sending him to the Office, at the same time a female Student was yelling at him telling him he was not bleeding and that it was no big deal. I was not informed about what had happened and their was NO concern for my son's safety and the fact that he was hurt. He told me about the incident in the car after I picked him up after School on our Way to get his oldest sister from her High School. I was so upset and started to cry because this has gone on far too long and the School is doing NOTHING to stop all of this bullying my son is enduring every single day.  Yes! the boy who attacked him before Christmas break and the boy who stabbed him with his own pencil were both suspended, but nothing is being done about the rest and the fact that the School has a bullying issues. I did take him to the ER the moment we got home to drop off both of my girls. The ER DR checked him out but said that because he did not pass out that he would be fine. Just not to let him go to sleep for a while and to wake him up ever so often through the night and to not let him play any sport. Thank the Good Lord that he did not hit that certain part of his head any harder than he did or he could of had some brain bleeding or more going on. I have not yet informed the Principal about the head incident for we have been on Spring Break. But will do so first thing Monday Morning.  Between my son and myself we have talked to the Principal on many occasions about the constant bullying. You would think with my child not being the only one bullied at this School that they would start cracking down on bullying, but that's just not the case. We as Parents can protect our children when they are in our care, But we cannot protect them when they are at School. Though the School cannot watch their Students every little second, our children are still in their care for at least 7 hours out of the day and I just do not buy it that they do not see what is gong on and not doing everything they can to stop it. I am not only talking for my son, but for "EVERY" student.  I am going to make a trip to the School board about all of this even knowing that they will take note but that nothing will change. So I am going to do what ever I can to bring attention to the bullying in my son's School and may even go after them legally for my son has been attacked 1 time too many. I have shared without names my sons story through FB and have been shocked and disappointed as too the little few who has given support. I have to say that I am very disappointed in my hometown. I know that Bullying can be stopped or even just limited if EVERYONE was to pull together. The Teachers, Parents, Principals and even the School Board have got to pull together. But It's sad to say that, that is something that is not happening.  I am asking everyone for advice and help on how to go about all of this. All will be appreciated. Thank You, Christyl.
