Story #29

The bullying for me started in middle school.I had friends for a little while and then they ditched me because they thought I wasn’t cool enough to hang out with them. We got into a fight and they started bullying me. They told everyone my secrets. I couldn’t even go on aim anymore to talk to my family because they would message me saying mean things to me. They called me words like dyke,bitch, and anorexic. Even though I wasn’t any of those things. They would also tease me in class. One of them used to sit behind me and kick my chair during the whole class. I had to change my seat multiple times but she just got the person behind me to kick my seat. She would then make jokes about me and the whole class would laugh. These were the “popular girls” so they pretty much made everyone hate me. That group stopped bullying me and I made a new friend but her best friend got jealous of us hanging out. She would also i.m. calling me names. She and this other girl would knock down my books and jump on me and pull my backpack off in the hallways. She would also yell mean things to me in the hallway. I was depressed all throughout middle school. Sometimes I thought life would be better off without me in it. That is when I got into music and that really helped me through. It is also when I realized that my family is way more important than friends. They loved me for who I was and never teased me. Now that I am in high school things have gotten better but it is still hard for me to trust anyone. My story may not be as bad as others but I felt like I needed to tell someone. I think this site is great and its going to help so many people, like me, to tell their stories.

I’m so sorry someone would put you through all that, and for what? There is no reason for people to act so violently towards others. Your story IS bad, and it will help so many other people that are dealing with issues just like yours so thank you for sharing your story with us!
