Have you ever been bullied? Share.

In 3rd grade, I don't remember it much so idc tbh

People used to throw rocks at me, beat me up and tell me I should kill myself. I had to change schools when I was 16 because it got so bad. I try not to think about it now

Yes in 2nd grade.
I don't want to say any more

Yes

When I was in 7th grade I was fat and all of the kids would make fun of me. Once I sat in the oldest chair and it broke. I cried for like an hour cause all the kids called me fat and laughed. Another time some kids wrote on the bathroom walls with sharpie that "_______ is a gay fat ass"

At least Nicki likes fat asses

Thank gawd im in shape now

Yeah a lot in primary school, but now I hit back at people, I'm hard now

Not really. I've been called a *** of course but thats it.

Yes. This one tall skinny chick when I was 12. She wasn't here for my ass stealing the spotlight in Drama class. Once she opened my school bag whilst I was walking and threw my pencil case in the bin. Also, she threw pencils at me once in technology and I really wanted to jump on her like a lion in a Discovery Documentary, but I kept my cool.

Yes

One time, in the 8th grade.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Yeah. I got bullied quite a lot in high school because all my friends were girls and I didn't like sport, particularly rugby union which every guy at my school played. But I think it's important to note that I also had my moments where I myself was a bully and was incredibly mean to people.

I think one of the problems with the issue of bullying is that as a society, we've created this "victims vs. perpetrators" or "cat vs. mouse" mentality. And don't get me wrong, there will always be those few kids who kids can sense are "losers" and become punching bags for bullies, without ever hurting a fly. But I think for the most part, bullying is cyclical. Most kids in schools (at some point) are both the bully and the bullied, because for some reason, kids can be cruel. There's a mob mentality and they find it funny to pick on others. I think that's what we need to look at. Why kids feel the need to be mean to each other as a whole.

edit: I think it's important to note that now that I'm 22, I never think about the times when I was bullied, but I think about the times that I was the bully CONSTANTLY. I cringe and am filled with so much remorse. Even though when I was bullied, it was 10 times worse/meaner than when I was doing the bullying. I feel all those years of being a victim made more stronger, more resilient and gave me really thick skin. But when I think about the mean things I said/did at school, I'm overcome with guilt.

Yes. Kids in elementary and middle school used to make fun of me because of my high pitched voice and I was a little femine.

Nope but I've bullied people

It's a dog eat dog world and I used to do the most with anyone who tried to come for me but now I don't need to.

I was outgoing and had a lot of friends in primary school but then when I entered high school I pretty much entered hell, I had to change high schools as I had no friends, was called "fa****" every day and I was physically abused at least once a week, and it was hard for me to stand up for myself at that point as I was already struggling with self confidence issues and the school was a very sporty all boys school like my grade was literally full of groups of jocks, but the teachers didn't do anything as they just said "your grade is just rough" and whenever someone tried to talk to me the "cool kids" (who are now taking drugs every night doing absolutely nothing with their lives) would be like "why are you talking to that homo" which lead to isolation and chronic anxiety which got so bad that I was too scared to go back to school and it pretty much messed up my whole schooling life when i went to other schools and i struggled to finish. but I learnt from it and now I'm a fabulous and confident person

In the 6th grade. And it was the last time.

yep, pretty badly in middle school. it kinda messed me up as a person, honestly. it's taken a long time to get over the issues it gave me, and there's still some i haven't really fixed. it sucks but what can you do
