Hi. I am just one of the thousands of people that are bullied. It isn't fun. But... I was on here when I met someone who made all the hurt go away. And it all started when I asked someone to talk to me. Now, me and that person... Whom I can call a friend... talk about things I normally wouldnt with someone else I met off of an Internet chat game.All i needed was a real friend. One that said I was special. That I meant something to someone. That I WAS a someone. This thread was made for those who have trouble.... or had trouble, and have found that special person who made all the hurt.. go away.

I know how you feel. Except I wasn't bullied.
I was really emotionally lost before I met him. He was always there for me and I tried to be there for him. He helps me with everything and he's amazing. I couldn't ask for anyone better.

Im glad you found that person:)

best quote to follow by if you have been bullied (well, I have once)

"Wolves don't loose sleep over the opinion of sheep."

It has always been a family member who have been my true friends when I was/am made fun of in school.

Ikr :) I was always happy, it was always just one person bringing me down. Now I can overcome that and be awshome :D

I was really lost and confused when I was bullied.


There was this guy that would make fun of my accent,(I picked up one from my dad) and he'd laugh at me.
Now, this bully had bullied me for 3 years. Before I talked to the principal, I told the School Counciler. He was my hero back then, and I would go in every Thursday or Wedsnday to him and talk about my problems.

One time my bully even pushed me in the sand, and I hit a stone. I was bleeding bad, and then the next morning the principal called me up to his office.

He had a list of the things my dad had told him what had happened to me, what I had been through, and how he was acting.

The principal asked me many questions. Finally, he said he would talk to him.

After that, my bully wouldn't even look at me. The principal said if he even talked to me, to go talk to him.

I was really sensitive when I was younger, so I got verbaly bullied, which hurt me emotionally. I would cry about almost anything.. That all stopped in 6th grade, my sister said if I continued to be that open with my feelings, Middle school would tear me appart. Now I hardly cry, and I almost never get bullied. There's this one kid though, that always makes fun of me, and he's hated me since 5th grade. But I don't let what he says get me down.
If anything does effect me emotionally anymore, I always come to my friends online, including my best friend. And they always cheer me up. I'm more open with them in 5 minutes than I am with my friends irl in a week.
Now I just ignore the bullying, and I'm not as sensitive.

Advice to those who feels down, hurt, or is bullied:
Don't let what others say/do get you down, keep your head up. If you cry about everything, life is going to tear you appart. Don't let bullies make you think you're nothing more than shit. Show them you're important. If someone does something to upset you, ignore it and move on. If it really bothers you, you have friends you can talk to about it, and they're sure to make you feel better, if they don't, feel free to come to me weather we're friends online or not, I love helping, and I hate seeing anyone down. I'd help in any way I could. If someone's physically hurting you, go see an adult immediately, don't fight back, cause that can lead to you getting hurt worse or in trouble. If you're getting bullied so badly you don't want to live, talk to me. Suicide is not an option, don't let the bullies words/actions get to you.
Stay strong, and be yourself!

Eep! Advice helped me. ;-;
There's this boy that picked on me and made me feel like I wasn't supposed to be alive, so I was thinking of painless ways to die.
But I came to my senses that my parents wouldn't be happy, so I didn't, even though that boy would..
But... my feelings are as delicate as a piece of grass, not as tough as concrete...
I'm glad I didn't suicide becausse I have met some awesome friends, like you, to talk about it..

I'm glad you didn't. Don't let some jerk make you feel that way. Ignore him. My parents used to tell me that if someones being a jerk, ask that guy to stop. If he doesnt stop then tell someone. Don't let him get to you.Dont let him make you feel like you arent special. Cause you are. Face it, he's a jerk......... Oh, and if the adult doesnt do anything, sock him in the nose. :P Lol. the point is dont make a jerk the boss. YOU are the boss of yourself.

I was verbally bullied from years 7-9 and still sometimes in my very last school years; although, now, I'm going to college so I'm hoping that will all be over.
I went through a pretty severe depression and I'd give this advice to anyone suffering the same problems:
Talk to the people you can talk to and if there are none, try and get a pet in which you can confide in. If I had to say what took me out of my depression, it would be my cat and the internet (but I'd never recommend this method to anyone because the addiction problems afterwards can permanently wreck your life).
Get active. No, I'm serious. Go out with a sibling or someone you know or, hell, even by yourself. If there's no peaceful country-like/forest area where you live, just try and go on a short corner shop trip to buy stuff. Enjoy yourself a bit. Distract yourself from the pain.

People say "tell the teacher" but that's a load of bullshit. Someone else told the teacher on "my behalf", although I didn't tell them to, and the bullies constantly gave me dirty looks and it made me feel worse. No one wanted to associate with me, for fear of getting the same treatment. The school's only out for itself, not it's pupils.

Although, in the end, there's no real solution... I was very lucky, in a way, because my father was a genius at changing one's point of view because of his learnings whilst working as a consultant psychatrist. Later on, when I began to confide in him more, he was able to - slowly - convince me not to care about what they thought. About who they were.

TL;DR Distract yourself, show no reaction to what the bullies say (reaction is what they /want/), if it gets physical and teachers/parents won't do shit - take it to the authorities after you've been severly bashed up. They can't deny clear evidence and surely, in the end, someone will do /something/.

Final note:
Best friend I've ever had came from online. She's helped me with all sorts of problems and was just generally a person to come and talk to whenever. I try to do the same for her because she's simply done so much for me. No matter /what/ problems and whoever deserted me, she's always been there and always been willing to talk through anything. I feel like I'm troubling her sometimes but, in the end, I feel like one of the luckiest people on this Earth.

Hon, just forget about what others think of you. Sure, it's somewhat important sometimes, but if they're making you think to the point of suicide, then fuck their opinions. You're an amazing girl. Think of all the people who would miss you if you died, imagine how devistated they'd be. Imagine how devistated I'd be..
Kaylee, suiciding is a show of weakness, and you're emotions may be weak (Or so you say) but your strong-spirited. Suicide is never the answer, okay? If you have any other thoughts on it, come to me immediately.

M'k.
Suicide... is just a huge no.
I watched these shows where teens suicided, all for stupid reasons.
