Sorry you are having a rough time - school kids can be such assholes. Please don't feel like giving up or giving in. You can get through this, I'm sure of it. Bullies are weak and only bully because they have issues. Sending strong and happy vibes to you :)

Thank you! and yes they can be assholes.

I understand, I went through this at my own school and it's hard to know what you've done wrong?
Try and keep your head held high is all I can say, and my biggest piece of advice, the thing that held me up and kept me going is have something really positive outside and away from all of this that can take you away from the bullying when you go home everyday :)
You can do it :)

I would guess that by now, you have graduated but I would like to add a little bit of what I hope is helpful advice. When the kids you went to school with grow up and experience life, they generally mellow out their attitudes. They forget what mean and nasty things they did and to whom. I am now 45 and endured my fair share of bullying (including getting chewing gum thrown in my hair). I didn't attend my 10 year reunion or my 20 year reunion, but I did go to the 25 year and was very glad I did. I did not have to confront anyone. I got hugs from people who would never give me the time of day in school, but are now more down to earth because of life. All kids do stupid things. It is only when they have to fend for themselves and see what is in the world that make them change their perspective. Good luck to you.

I have also gone through this. I am 15 now. My classmates used to call me names, hit me and remind me that I am useless. However I stood up against them. I understand your pain. Please stay strong.( The bullies are insecure about themselves and hence disturb people they are jealous of).

I'm a senior adult now, but bullying affects all ages and is so soul-crushing. When you are in school and just trying to learn what life is about and then you have to face a day of bullying in school, doesn't help in the least. Bullies do pick on others they see as weak, or different or because, (yes) they are smart and don't buy into the social scene in the school. Bullies are weak and only get a sense of power by picking on others. Try really hard to stand up to the bullies or hold up your head and walk away. Generally if bullies don't get a reaction, they move onto someone else. (Please, though, don't ignore someone else being bullied). If bullying is rampant in the school try hard to get counselors and teacher to address it. I don't know how your schools do things, but IF a counselor or teacher were present in each hallway between classes, etc and would intervene with a bullying person, I'll bet it would decrease a lot! Don't let bullying go so far to make you depressed or even consider suicide. Seek help. Tell adult. Read all you can about bullying. Share with others. You are worth it. Speak out! (I have my story listed under the Senior Bullying threads)

Hayden, its important to know that there is nothing wrong with you, theres something wrong with them! I got bullied horribly and was also subject to violence and rumors. I would reach out to those who support you (family friends teachers) and seek assistance from them, despite the shame. Their power as bullies is in our shame to tell the authorities of what's really going on. Spend time around people who really care about you and limit your distance from these people as much as possible; if you have to take another route within the school building do that, but yeah as much as you are able to stay away from these people and when they do come, you can assert yourself as we believe in you and will support you!
