I know a lot of you won't care. But here goes. back in grade 10 I was a victim of bullying, everyday basically, and by the same kid. I only told one person, and not my parents because I was embarrassed to say I was a victim.
And one day it went too far. I mean I did not mind the names and comments, but when they started throwing stuff at me, and spraying water on me, that drew the line! I lost friends because of it. They all seemed to have a "reputation" to keep. I was alone in a school of 3000 kids.
So one day I went home and tried choking myself out, I was pretty much full force. Then I realized, why am I doing this? I thought about the family and friend who would be sad and heartbroken if i were to keep going. So I stopped. I let go. Who cares if a few kids want to bully me around, call me names, and be immature. Let them. I am now in grade 12, and when I look back on all that I think. Those people picking one me are the sames one going nowhere in life, they wont' even graduate high school. WOW! and I was going to hurt myself over them?
I woke up the next day and when on like nothing happened the night before. Let the bullies do what they did. Throw stuff, spray stuff, and call me dumb immature names.
The point of my story is. Stand up! Not just for you, but for all the victims of bullying, and the ones who have died because of it. I wish I could say bullying is over and no one does it. But I can't and will never be able to. If you are being bullied fight back, show them you are not taking their crap anymore, and that this is the end of your bullying days!
If you took the time to read this, I thank you, and hope one day you stop and help someone who is being bullied. Stand up to the bully and tell him that he is not hurting anyone anymore!

I was bullied a lot too. It was physical when I was in Junior High, until I finally stood up for myself and beat the ever loving piss out of one of the bullies. Then in high school, I was more bullied through words than anything. The kids would play pranks on me, but putting twinkies in my seat, and when we doing rehearsal for graduation, my entire class yelled "MOOOO!" when I walked across the stage. Thankfully that didn't happen the night I graduated! In fact, all the underclassmen were cheering for me because I wasn't a douche to the underclassmen like so many of the other Seniors were. To this day, I've had a lot of people apologize to me, because time caught up with them and they got fat and had a ton of kids. lol
I am soo sorry you had to go through that! :( I ti shard, but once you stand up for yourself they lose intrest in you, cause they know you will always fight back!
