Your Bullying Story
This is a thread to talk about bullying in your life, whether you've seen someone else go through it, or if you've gone through it yourself.
You can rant, you can support others, you can give your two cents on how people react to bullying that you've seen in your personal life, etc.
No one should go through this alone :')
But someday, I'll be, Living in a big ole' city, And all you're ever gonna be is mean
"This is to everybody being bullied out there: You're beautiful, no matter what other people think!! You CAN be different, that is not a bad thing and don't ever let anyone tear you down, you're a beautiful, strong person with a great personality and nobody can take that away from you." ~ _swiftie_13

Re: Your Bullying Story
Today in this 20 minute HERO class my school has every other Friday, we did a lesson on cyber-bullying. HERO Stands for Honesty Empathy Respect Open-mindedness. I thought it was really good. When we walked out of the class i heard this boy (who I used to think was a really nice boy) say " That was so stupid" .He was talking about that class too I know. I got so mad ,and wanted to cry. I didn't though, because all they are is mean.

Also, this is something that 13 little white lies put together. It is actually an excerpt from somewhere on the delete and defeat thread ,and her profile is Here!

*1-800-273-TALK - A 24-hour crisis hotline if you're about to self-harm or are in an emergency situation.
*To Write Love On Her Arms (http://www.TWLOHA.com) - A non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.
*1-800-SUICIDE - Hotline for people contemplating suicide.

*1-800-799-SAFE - Domestic violence hotline.
*1-877-332-7333 - Real Help For Teens' help line.
Now for people who know a person that self-harms, the first response to these kinds of practices is to be astranged. But you shouldn't, they are people too. They aren't freaks, they are just lost seeking for help through harming themselves. If the situation is taken out of hand where it's suicidal, you must give the person immediate attention from specialists, but you also need to remember to respect the person's perspective. You would not want the person who trusted you with their secret to not trust you anymore. Remember to never neglect the person, in fact you should never neglect anybody. Always show them you care, it'll be their strength to keep living...

Re: Your Bullying Story
This is my story:
I'm like any other girl but I have a tiny problem, that's really hard to explain what it is, but it's something that my skin is not like everyone else, mine is really delicate, it's kinda red, and itchy and I rarely see someone have the same thing, you won't understand what it is but I have it all over my skin, so I have been bullied since like 2-3 grade when it was starting to grow my problem. People called me ugly, I still remember very single one that bullied me, they called me stuff that I still cry about at night. There was a time where I couldn't stand it and cried myself to sleep every night, people always judge me on how I look, wherever I go people stare at me for hours then just go and tell everyone. Recently I went to this school, and nobody knew who I was, I was with my cousin, and her classmates, started saying bad things about me, they were calling me a monster and something of a green type monster, and I went straight to the bathroom and cried, I didn't want anyone to see, and make a big deal about it, but soon everyone came and I was so ashamed of myself, I always hear people whispering behind my backs, sometimes I'm brave enough to tell them I can hear the, other times I just cry and cry. I'm now in 6 grade and they keep calling me stuff, it hurts everyday more and more. This problem is just something that I will soon not have, but it's really hard to get better. People always judge me, I'm more insecure of myself whenever they call me something or when they point of my flaws. To date I'm really insecure, I'm always hiding mspyself and trying to avoid bullies, I'm not as pretty as pretty as my cousins or sister, and nobody loves me, I don't have a best friend who doesn't judge, who I can tell secrets and trust her. Music is my life, it's my escape from everything, music is what helps me get through things.
Thank you for anyone who read this.
I want to tell anyone out there who is suffering from bulling, that you are beautiful the way you are, it doesn't matter of your different or wierd, you are perfect in your own way.

Re: Your Bullying Story
These stories are all really sad and horrible in their own way... And you know what hurts the most? Is when you see the bully be all love "oh my gosh I can't believe someone would do that! Oh that's so unfair!" And you know full well that the bully does it themself.... This is my story:
In year 4 it wasn't too bad, I had moved schools in year 2 so I was just getting to know them as friends. Well all the times they'd go off and make jokes that I didn't know stuff about was crazy! It was so frustrating to know that they all knew something I didn't. Year 5 and 6 was the worst. I would come home and cry myself to sleep every night! Some times I'd even cry walking home from school with my mum. They would call me names, make me their slave and I'd always have to be the person who would take everyone else's rubbish or be "it" all the time in games like tiggy. It sounds pretty pathetic compared to most people's but it was hard! They'd ignore me and push me around like I wasn't even a human! They'd leave me out of stuff and would always take my food and my stuff. One day they pushed me off the playground. They wouldn't even let me on it at all. They'd sit at the top and when I tried to get on they'd push me (hard) down to the ground and called it their new "game". They bullied other girls who were classed as rejects.(I hate that word and I wouldn't ever use it to describe anyone but that's what they called them). I thought it wasn't fair and I eventually got sick of the bullying so I went over to hang out with them because I had more fun there. But I'd always come back to the other girls and when I did they'd be like "oh can you hear the wind talking?" "Oh there's a ghost there!" And they would ignore me and run away from me. They would force me to do stuff I didn't want to and they even locked me in the back room in the classroom once and made me climb under chairs and tables to get back to my seat so I could work when the teacher wasn't there! After school I'd go and hang out with them (because they were the only friends I had, and I couldn't make new ones because no one else liked me) they'd pretend to act as if nothing happened and I was the best friend ever! And at school the next day it would all happen again. When the girl moved it got a little better but then a new girl joined us and the same thing happened! I told my parents and they told the teachers but they didn't really do anything! I cried myself to sleep so many times. It may sound pathetic compared to some people's with depression and stuff but it was hard for me! I'm so sorry that everyone has been bullied :( it's an awful experience and I don't wish it on anyone xx

Re: Your Bullying Story
I was bullied for 4 years, reception to 4th grade. And I am now in 7th grade. It was so tormenting as I thought these girls were my friends. Everyday we would sit together at breaks and talk about people but little did I know they were actually talking about me. It was a group of girls in the same grade as me and one of them was like the leader of the group. She was the meanest, she punched me and stepped on me and made me do her own DIY jobs. She made one of my best friends today slap me in the face. I hated her so much but I felt as if there was no escape from her, wherever I went she was there, it was like a livin nightmare. In 3rd grade when my parents split up I got a little depressed and it was really obvious to the bullies, they called me fat and told me I had to lose weight, but they had no idea it was family related. In 4th grade I made a stop to this bullying by actually telling someone and it actually helped! The bully moved schools and I'm sure to never see her again.
Today I am as happy as ever, I have way more new friends and I'm livin life just as I should. So don't let bullying get in your way cause its stupid, they say, "if someone is trying to bring you down it only means your walking above them".

Re: Your Bullying Story
Hi All,
This is my 1st post here. I want to give a little background 1st. I have been a Taylor fan for years but I didn't take that leap to a Swifty till last year. I was I was around when Tay would do the live chats. Hopefully she will do one of these in 2013.
In junior and high school I was picked on for years for my looks. In addition my parents never were willing to go the extra step that they were for my siblings. They didn't support as much as they should have and needed to.
Recently everytime a Taylor song comes on the radio it makes me sad afterwards because it brings up all the memories. Also a lot of repressed memories have started coming back. So its been a rough last few weeks.
Any advice or suggestions would be great.
P.S. I am hoping to go to one of the St.Louis concerts but I don't get off work until 5 pm and I live about 2.5 hours so Im not sure I could make it in time before she stars
Thanks! -

Re: Your Bullying Story
Try to push them out of your mind for a while because you NEED sleep. I know it can be hard but try,for your grandma.She needs you.
I've been bullied for basically my whole life. It started in elementary school, and followed me into middle and high school. In elementary school kids would pick on me about my weight. I was obese and it made me an easy target. They would call me names like Madam Fatso and yell things like "Earthquake!" Whenever I would walk by. It just seemed like everyone was against me. I tried to go through it and tough it out, but it was hard. There was this one girl who would constantly harass me. She would find out through people that I got a toy that she wanted or something that she wanted and she would literally drag me somewhere and yell at me likeI was trying to show off. After a while I got tired of it and told her how I felt. Now she acts like we're best friends, but I've ignored her every time she talks to me. Middle school was pretty much the same. There were girls by my locker that really just hated me. They would push me out of the way to talk to each other . I felt like I was just a piece of garbage that they just kicked away. In class, I constantly got teased and picked on about liking Demi Lovato. People said "Oh she's for babies" and " She's a weirdo" and they thought it was creepy when I stood up for her. Over that time Demi really was my only friend. I learned that I couldn't trust a lot of people and I felt alone. Then came high school. I still don't have that many friends and I feel like the ones that I have now are drifting away and I kinda let it happen. Through all of this I have dealt with people dying, having to help people, and just life in general. My first half of my 6th grade year I had to help my aunt because she broke some bones, and now I have to help my grandma do things because she broke her arm. I haven't been getting any sleep and it's draining me out.


Cheers Mate!!

Re: Your Bullying Story
My story is that when my mom was pregnant with me she didn't know it she was giving warning miscarriage signs (lots of bleeding) so her careless uneducated doctor gave her pills cause he thought it was just her period messing up. without giving a pregnancy test to her. So after two weeks of her taking the pills the bleeding hadn't stopped so the doctor FINALLY gave her a pregnancy test and they found she was pregnant. My parents hadn't known these pills were very much abortion-birth control pills so they were happy but the doctor made her get ultrasounds every week which my mom thought it was because of her pregnancy being high risk because of where we lived but in reality the doctor was trying to make sure I didn't had any missing arms or legs or mouth or anything (cause the pills should have gotten rid of me) but in the end when I was born all I had was my right ear folded along with my right ear bones being half the size they should be. Because of this . When I was in 3rd grade (i was 7-8) I had my first surgery in Colombia so I could get an "ear" from then on I had 11 more surgeries. But heck they didn't work at all that was just another doctor trying to make an ear out of skin from my leg... But anyways that's how my bullying story starts... I have always been a quiet shy girl ...so when I moved to a new school in 4th grade I had no friends no one to defend me.. So of course being the only new person in the class while every one was friends while I was alone ...the bullying got bad. I was told so many things about my "ear"
...how it was ugly.. dirty gross . how i had one ear how that made me worthless for that. not normal. different. bad.. horrible ugly. dumb gross. i spent so many days crying and feeling so bad.at the end of that year I attempted suicide but my friend took the knife away from and when she did I cut myself in my arm...still got the scar. but she saved me then. so a year later I moved here (florida) so I slipped at walmart and had to get that ear removed... by then I felt even worse I didnt want more bullying.... all I had was a flat area there. so we seeked out other options... we found a doctor that said I could get an ear prosthesis and a hearing aid since my bones were so tiny I was already losing hearing. So again in 7th grade I had my 14th surgery. From then on I had 6 more and for now I stopped. I did get both my ear and hearing aid but for my ear I'm not able to wear since the implants got infected for the prosthesis so I removed them in my last surgery bbut I still have my hearing aid:) and thats so helpful for school instead of me saying what like a 100 times to know what I'm being said. :) Right now i have about 50% hearing in my right and 100% on my left . But I 'll eventually become deaf on my right ear. So ever since that 14th surgery I wanted to stop . It was a lot of pain I went through in those 20 surgeries but I started listening to Taylor Swift and she's saved me so many times from ending my life or cutting too much or hurting myself. I listen to her and I'm immediately all happy and dancy and worry free:) although all that bullying I got from 4th-8th grade reallly affected me and I have low self esteem and it hurts me and makes me cry every time I think of all those things I was said. So if I ever meet Taylor I would tell her this story of her saving me and keeping me strong through my surgeries :) and how every day she puts a smile on m y face when I'm in pain!! I love her and all of you stay strong it'll get better!!!!

Re: Your Bullying Story
I got bullied pretty much since Primary school.
Some of the people who did it have had some most unfortunate things happen to them, like a curse or something.
There was one cheeky little unmentionable called Justin a year or two below me in primary school who was always calling me names and stuff. He was eventually briefly OK with once, but that was probably because it was school sports day, the parents were watching, and he knew what was coming to him if he got caught. Not too long after that he was diagnosed with Brain cancer, and died 3 or 4 years later.
In my last couple of years at normal school (GCSE years), there was a kid called Mike Jeffery / Jefferies, who was a real nasty little........ I remember one time sat around in class after getting back early from a school history trip waiting for the hometime bell to ring, and he was flicking drawing pins at me.
Another time a few years after leaving school, I remember him spitting at me out of his flat window, as I was walking along HERE minding me own business.
In 2001 he died of a heroin overdose.
In the 6th form, there was gobby b***h called Lisa McCormack who also regularly called me names (she was just as bad in the GCSE years), and made Duck noises at me 'cos of my last name. She also regularly made false allegations about me and other people in class (like telling the head of year I hit her with a hammer in class).
I nearly pissed myself laughing the day I walked into class and was told she'd been expelled for shoplifting an entire roll of carpet from Beevers, the furniture store located next to the back entrance to the school / college..... apparently it was to help furnish her boyfriend's new flat. -

RE: Your Bullying Story
Lately, I've been getting bullied a lot more. I never used to be bullied, in eighth grade, it's gotten really bad!!
I started to dress in all black (but I am not Goth). I also am a Swiftie/Directioner. Because of that, I have gotten DEATH THREATS over Twitter. Not even kidding. At school, people are also saying, "You have to pick a side. You can't be both." It's annoying!!
I have also been called a lot more things that aren't, shall we say, appropriate to put on TC.
Now my best friend in the entire world is moving to Orlando and I'll be completely alone.

Re: Your Bullying Story
My story:
I have been bullied ever since 1st grade. I was never cool enough or had the best clothes. I never was better or even as good as them. There were 3 girls with lots of followers. They would push me down. They would call me ugly and I was never invited to any of there get together things! Then I switched schools then it all happened again. My best friend turned against me at my other school. This time it is boys and they like say that maybe I should lose a few pounds or maybe I could get some cooler clothes. They also said that nobody liked me. I believed them. Now it is today and they still make me feel small and they point out everything that is wrong with me. At least my teacher is nice to me. I love her. She is the nicest teacher I have ever had!

Re: Your Bullying Story
i was bullied up to 8th grade because of my learning disability and synesthesia. My "Friends" would call me names thinking i was to stupid to understand what they meant. well i understood every word they said. They knew how much i love Taylor and thought it would be funny to fake her autograph and give me a picture (i knew it was fake btw). The emotional damge turned into physical damage. ive been burnt multiple times with a glue gun by "accident" pushed into walls, tripped i was even put in a headlock once...i ended up going in to a deep depression and i wasnt me anymore just the shell of the person i once was. This past september i started high school i found people that appreciate who i am. Slowly the depression was fading until i discovered a band that would change my life. Ive never been called beautiful or been told i was appreciated only by my parents. i went to an Owl City concert with one o my friends and the opening act was a band called Action Item i met them after the show and the first thing one of the guys said (i didint know him at the time but it was Anthony the guitarist) that i was beautiful and that he appreciated me coming to the show. a few months later i went to see their headlining tour i had a meet and greet with them during one of the other bands sets and after saying hi to the other members i went to Anthony and he remembered me from the Owl City show. He told me i looked beautiful and thats when i told him my story he hugged me and wouldn't let go he said no one should ever go through something like that and that he was always here for me. No one i repeat no one has every said that they would be there for me. he ended up being the one to pull me out of my depression and im proud to say i havent relapsed in about a month :) so yeah thats my story:p

Re: Your Bullying Story
I got bullied in elementary school. People would make fun of me for not being able to fun fast enough or they would call me fat. It only happened a couple times though. And then in middle school, I got bullied by guys, not girls. They would say things that would make me feel very bad and sometimes they would touch me in uncomfortable places, while my classmates watched and laughed. Luckily, this only lasted a couple months. My bullying experience isn't too bad, compared to some other peoples. I'm now in high-school and I don't get bullied at all :)
I said Speak Now on September 11, 2011, and I will come back in burning RED on June 29, 2013. -
