It'll be ok, just tell an adult about it, trust me, or stand up to them. No one deserves this, and if you ever think about killing yourself just tell your family ok? I know you might be like I wuldn't do that, but it happened to me, so if any of you would like to talk to me that would be fine.

Trust me, I've told my teachers and they dont do anything to help. My family tell me to ignore them but its hard to when the say things like "you should have been aborded" or "useless little Sh*t" on a daliy basis.

Stand up to them

you have heard about demi lovato,right?look at her!where is she now?and where are her bullies...

I suppose. Yet when i stood up to one i got in trouble

Really!? Thats stupid!

I know its very difficult to tackle the bullies - especially when we find that there's nobody to turn to. I've been through this mental harassment of bullying for two whole years!! I knew I was losing it, when I heard this program on the radio. They said that during depression, you cannot tell your woes to others, but it's important that you do. Share your feelings, talk to somebody - not for a solution, but only to vent your feelings. I did that... took me a whole week to muster courage enough to speak about it, cried 2 whole days thereafter, but I did it. And now, after so many years after that, I feel blessed that I had that harrowing experience - taught me a lot of things, made me a lot stronger.

Shamelessness helps a bit, but what helps more is the realization that the bullies lack self-confidence more than others. That's why they 'seek' confidence by shattering others emotionally. But dont go blowing their cover - it may rebound on you. :-p

And try to find friends (force yourself, if you have to, because not everybody is bad) and make pets. They help a lot! I hope this helps.

thanks, i'll try. But i have been a social outcast since i was a little girl. my condition doesnt help the situation at all.

um, well my dads abusive and i was on a walk by myself i told my mom i was leaving but my dad didnt know and i was walking across this bridge over a pond and he pulled up in his car and started beating me. so i was just totaly done with life so i pretended i fell off the bridge (but i jumped off on purpose.) and i tried to drown myself, it worked, my heart stopped, but then someone pulled me out and did CPR, and at the time i was mad..at myself, for failing, but now i am SO thankful. now my dads been arested and i went through some counsoling, my life got so much better. that was last year last summer that that all happened. and now (obviously) i dont mind talking about my problems to anyone and it feels much better :)

but before then and only a few times after that ive been able to like ive had guns pointed at me by myself and from others...but i couldnt do it again and im glad i didnt have the guts.

well I'm happy that he got arrested

Not doubting your statement, in fact, agree with you on this point, but can't help feeling the jitters - Does this mean, we could turn bullies ourselves? Because we've gone through rough time as well?

I cant even imagine the pain of being abused by a parent! This only goes to prove that life's so fragile and that we should appreciate what - whatever - we have. Am glad your father's been arrested and you got some counseling. I haven't got a chance of getting counseling, and so it took me many years to revive, though my problems were not so grave. But I'm sure now you'll be so strong, nobody or nothing could break you.

Syn wrote: "but before then and only a few times after that ive been able to like ive had guns pointed at me by myself and from others...but i couldnt do it again and im glad i didnt have the guts."

Never believed this really happened, though I'd seen this in the movies.

Sorry about asking a dumb question, but did you feel scared when it happened for the 'first' time? I'm asking because I 'probably' wont be scared, only because I've never seen the damage guns could inflict. I've seen that blades could cut you (I cook), but I've never seen the damage inflicted by bullets, except for the movies, and so 'probably' I wont be scared. Again, I'm sorry about asking this question - dont mean to remind you of the dreadful moments.

even being bullied by them i agree with you, i wish i could help them and be their friend.

i was scared every time... sometimes i really wanted it to happen but its still scary every time.

Syn I am so glad you came out of that situation and into a more happier, content life, but I will tell you one thing, it does not take "guts" to committ suicide...It takes guts to live. I wish you all the best in life.

I've been bullied because of my aboriginality, or beacause I was fat, rumours that go around etc.
It was the middle of year 7 and this one boy kept teasing my name calling me "ReANUS" I ahve no idea why??? Though his last name was "GAY" DEADSET! Teachers say 'ignore them etc' but that does shit all. One day he walked up behind me and started saying it in my ear.. Thats when I had enough... I turned around and hit him. He fell to the ground and cut his ear. The next day I got suspended for hitting him. I understand why but the thing was even though I touched him.. He didn't get in trouble, not once!

Then year 8, i used to get teased by a group of boys and my ex boyfriend. They used to call me racists names and tease me in class infront of the teachers. I looked at the teacher and he wasn't doing anything about it. I stood up for myself, making sure that I wasn't going to put up with their crap. I said something back to one of the boys, then more jumped in. The teacher then stood up and escorted me out of the classroom. Why all of a sudden? I don't know but I thought it wasn't fair.
Also in year 8, a girl was spreading rumours around saying that I had the hots for a teacher. I confronted her asnd asked her if it was true and she said yes. She started to insult me and it lead into a punch up.

Now i've just finished year 10 and people know now that I stick up for myself if someone says a bad thing about me. Maybe I bullied them back but that was only in self defense. I never went over board and I knew when to stop. Wouldn't you stick up for yourself and say something back if someone did or said something to you?
Sometimes ignoring doesn't work! Believe me!

bravo *claps* :)

I have never been bullied personally, but I'm more of the defender for bullies. For example, about 2 weeks ago, a couple of people in my class were just making this one girls life hell (but they weren't beating her up or anything, just calling her names, ruining her stuff, getting her into trouble etc), but I put the bullies in their place and helped the girl find some new friends.
I think that bullies are just cowards, and have nothing better to do with there time. However, we cannot just say that bullies are just naturally mean, as we don't know their situation at home or outside of school. On the other hand, if they do have problems, they should speak to someone and sort it out instead of taking it out on someone.

Pretty much everyone at my school hates me...not kidding....

That's sad:( may I ask why?

Renee, I've been called a nigger even though I'm white, just because I'm Aboriginal. I know, stupid, right?

That's stupid! Surely there are other aboriginals in your school?

Yeah. Even 3 of them are white like me...
My school is stupid

I know what you mean. I attend a Glasgow high school but dispite beening 100% scottish i have a english accent. i often was called names because i am a geek but its more painfull when they grap you and scream in your face "GET BACK TO ENGLAND YOU F***ING RETARD!!"

at one point a girl in my year (we'll call her D)came up to me as we waited for class and trethed me saying that she would get her boyfriend to stab me if i didnt move schools. at this point i lost it and yelled back "who would date you?". D slamped me and i saw red. before i knew it i was kicking and punching her with everyone else screaming "BITCH FIGHT!!!"

when a teacher stopped us i had a burst lip and was black and blue all over. i didnt get into trouble but she did.

Well I'm sorry that you've had such a time of it! Not just with the bullies but with the teacher as well!

some people really are horrible in this world...

How the heck should I know why they hate, some say I'm to happy, to energetic, and that I like to do things my own way....but that's like the only reasons I can think of...

Bullies can be ugly people. Half the time, they don't even kmow WHY they bully others. Its sick :(

Well, I don't see how being too happy is a reason to hate you... They're just being pathetic

Yeah, I know. I kinda understand that, but it doesn't give them the right to hurt other people because of it.

No, it doesn't! If they're miserable they should sort it out instead of hurting other people

yeah
My mum used to be one of those people who looked after children and sorted out family issues, and she said that the main reason that children bully is because of child neglectment.

I hate that children get neglected, it makes me upset to think about it! I can understand why neglected children would bully, I guess seeing other children would make them feel like there are other children upset like them.

yeah, I agree with you. But not all bullies are neglected. Some just do it because they're just mean

of course they don't! I just think it's horrible. I've been bullied once and it was a horrible experience.
