When I was in junior high I was bullied as much as worse as this...for no reason...because I was the only person in the school who was european so I was bullied until I started to cut myself and wish death upon myself. They chased me in bathroom stalls for no reason...they thought I was a racist when I said absoloutley nothing. Girls should see this film, because by bullying you can kill someone.

My gosh, I'm so sorry. Bullying should be a crime because it CAN kill people like that. My mom's former best friend's daughter threw herself down the bridge and killed herself because she was being bullied. These mean gils just need to get a life! The beaver sound is pathetic...the girls used to make sounds at me too but they did chicken sounds and movements with arms everytime i walked across them by the hallway because they said that my legs were too skinny--and one of the girls who did it had skinnier legs then me. Nothing is more uncomfortable and distracting then having other kids torment you. It affected my grades and my self confidence...It caused me to ruin my hair, my reputation and ever since that I have suffered from clinical depression, and believe me i still have it =( Sometimes the past dosen't die...It's in my memory, and I didn't deserve to be treated like that. It's unethical. I know most people say to not let it get to you but some people can't help it...There are some people who don't give a rat's a*s, and there are sensitive people. Honestly...I was a honor student...but when I reached junior high, my grades were going down the drain because I was emotionally abused. Being chased in the bathroom for something I didn't say and saying mean things and screaming at me made me burst out in to tears and I sobbed really loudly that a few of the girls apologized and hugged me (being FAKE) just so they don't get into trouble...I was weak minded I should of reported them.
sharei was bullied in high school and jr high
i still havent fully recovered
i too have suffered from clinical depression
and what made matters worse is that my parent think i brought something on to make them do this
what makes me angry is that these bulllies dont get punished
bullying should be a crime
and there should be legal consequences
i saw this movie and felt it all over again
i am glad someone wrote this film
this is realistic almost to a fault
this happens
and esp with computers these days
i know my self esteem has been affected
and self confidence was shot
what actually ended this
was that my brother
who was the big man on campus
captain of numerous atheltic teams
student body president
confronted the boys and word must gotten back to the girls
that if they ever did anything to me again
he and his friends would inflict bodily harm on them
i never knew this til years later
it actaully stoppes and i wondered why
i knew it wasnt becuase they changed or anything
or just decided to stop
they were threatened
i almost feel like kids need body guards
i wish i could have worn an undercover camera with audio
so my parents and authorities would have believed me
again this was at a christian school
and yes this has changed my viewpoint of christianity

I was bullied all through school, from kindergarten all the way until my senior year and it has had a detrimental effect on my mental stability and self esteem. I can honestly say that bullying has changed the person I could have been into someone who broke down completely and it has taken years to pick up the pieces. I don't have any really good friends, making friends is very difficult for me because I've been used by so many bitchy, ignorant bullies. Due to the actions of some mean kids, I still function at an 8 year old's level socially. Its still a daily struggle, and I'm still bitter from it.
When I have my children, I do not want them to grow up like this. Its very painful and I've been hospitalized 3 times for suicide attempts. There should be more bullying prevention programs in schools as well as a no tolerance policy. These bitches can be extremely fake and sneaky.
I love you. Your voice is like butter running down my thighs.
:( That sucks Boxxxy brown. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders though of recognizing how it affected you, even though it is difficult to 'adjust' or 'correct' or whatever. I was never outright bullied but had alienation, some slight mockery here and there and several bad social experiences (including sitting alone in a cafeteria full of peers for a whole semester etc). To the point often of feeling I could fall off the face of the earth and no one would care, that I didn't really have a 'right' socially to say something, and if I did, it'd probably be the wrong thing, etc. In middle school, my presence with a certain group was 'tolerated' and nothing beyond that, and I accepted that as my lot in social-life (if that makes sense). Hard to shake. And even with just that, it did a number on my social confidence. And I do still have difficulty making friends, keeping friends, etc. It's like something inside me is convinced if they got to know me better they'd realize they don't like me anymore and/or would find some reason to not like me anymore. Or I find it hard to believe someone really likes me, and if they do, it's because they don't know me well.
So that's just from my more minor stuff. I can't even imagine being more "actively" bullied like some of you have, and what that would do. :/
Same for me because I was the girl who sits quitely in the classroom reading her books and talking deep thoughts. I hated HS, truly I wanted to get out or drop out luckly I got out and everything.
I think *beep* like this should be made into a crime have them arrested charge them with murder if the victim committs and complete suicide if the victim survives the attempt then the criminals will be charged with attempted murder.
For every female, or male, that posted they were bullied, I'm so sorry that it happened to you. Its awful because you didn't deserve it, not one bit! These stories effect me so because I was bullied but as an adult. What I mean is, a person in management harassed me for two years. On my job, I fought and fought but there weren't any laws in place to stop him. He tried to ruin my career. He was jealous because I am an educated female and he was not so he tried to belittle me in so many ways. That experience left me scarred even though I know he is the one with the problem. I'm sharing that to say this. Young bullies grow into adult bullies and often times, the damage can be just as bad if not worse. As adults, people can be manipulative and get away with more. I would like to see laws put into place to stop this at an early age. Bullies need to be stopped as early as possible. Its becoming more and more frequent and we've got to send a message that this behavior is wrong and won't be tolerated.
"ooo-hoo...Mu-FA-sa!"
I was bullied from the 1st grade on and it caused me to have an ulcer at 7. I used to cry and cry that I did not want to go to school. And in the 8th grade my mother had to drive me to school all year because kids at the bus stop and on the bus would pick on me. To this day, I am quiet and have low self esteem and have a hard time making friends.
It can and does affect you for your whole life.
A co-worker used to harass me until I reacted then she'd report to our boss the trouble I caused her. One day was specially bad. The next morning I went to the boss and told her step by step what went on the day before up to "...By then, I'd had it...." Aparently, the co-worker had already reported me because when I started telling the boss, she perked up immediately to listen. Also after my talk to the boss, the co-worker didn't act up again. The next years hand-book included "harassment of employees" as cause for immediate dismissal.
In high school, I believe it was considered a social mistake to talk to me.
==============================
He lifts me clear to the sky, you know he taught me to fly.
I was bullied too... for 5 years.
I was never popular.. I was short, kinda chubby.. I wore glasses & braces, I didn't have friends and I had good grades...
I was called names, beaten up, locked into the bathroom, had my stuff stolen/broken, been spat on, forced to do other people's homework, they spread rumours about me, blackmailed me into giving them money/stuff, etc.
The teachers never did anything (or if they did it had little or no effect) and my parents just told me to "stand up for myself"... yea, like it's that easy when it's 1 against 3 or more...
I ended up developing anxiety and depression - along with cutting and binge eating.
It's been 5 years and I'm still pretty much one of the most socially awkward/stunted persons ever.
Bullying can ruin you.
