Yep it does! I had kids ask me if I rode the bus to school I would answer yes. They'd laugh because they meant the short bus. I've had kids throw trash at me and call me trash. I've also had kids call me retard, four-eyes, bitch, and every other foul name you can think of. And my maternal grandparents, parents, and the rest of my family wonder why I have no self-esteem and why I stay in my room all the time.

Bullying is a huge problem still.... I hate it.
Last year, someone was bullied real bad. One of the students at my school (was probably) trying to commit suicide DURING school hours... One of our resource officers was stabbed by him.

I was bullied all through elementary, mostly because they were either jealous of my grades/talents or it was because of my disorders. No one ever stood up for me then so now I make it my job to stand up for those I see being bullied. Those without a voice need someone to speak for them and encourage them. The sad thing is that if I wasn't bullied for so many years I'd most likely not be as shy as I am today, it's getting better, slowly.

I'm extremely unconfident now
I always flinch, I'm to scared to take risks, it's horrible.
Only, like, 1 person in my first school didn't bully me.
I loved her. ;A;
We always used to play a game...
Where we were eaten by a giant snake...
And we had to save each other :3
It was awesome.
But other people bullied me.
I've had so much nosebleeds D:
It's not as bad now, but it's still happening ;.;

This is so true. Bullies are just cowards who think they're so cool and want to become popular. And it is true that bullies may become criminals around their late-20s or early-30s.

One bully is enough trouble for some people.
When I was 12, I had the whole freaking class against me. I had nobody, I was alone. They destroyed my life. Teachers didn't help at all, not even the principal. Even my "friends" turned their back on me and started spreading horrible rumors about me.
And because of that, I can't trust anyone anymore. Sometimes not even my own family.

Sorry for the rage... but just gonna paste the same here so maybe ppl that come to ur deviant read it... especially bullies...
This is for all the bullies!
The fucking point of bullying is "WORDS CAN HURT MORE THAN KNIFES", god....
For those who "get over it", good for all of you! Thats cuz u guys aren't getting affected, so not bullyed!
BULLYING IS FUCKING MIND TORTURE, not a bad word said, its so sad people still dont get that!
And for you bullies, if you say its not a big deal, SAY THAT TO ALL THE PARENTS WHO LOST THEIR CHILDS that killed themselfs, cuz of feeling mentally tortured, and feeling with no way out!
I been passed every single way of bullying, so i know how its like!
ANY KIND OF BULLYING IS ABOUT MIND TORTURE!
STOP FUCKING BULLYING!
ps: The one who knows what the fuck is bullying and been for it can throw the 1st stone at me, ACTUAL BULLYING, not having a bad word said or taking a punch, its more intense than "ignorant" people can ever imagine!

Actually, even if they don't acknowledge it, people who are 'unaffected' are affected- just subconsciously. Which often leaves longer scars.
I now don't get affected by bullying, I used to cry when I thought back to one of the events that may have happened during school.
As Joefire567 said, the same thing has happened to me. I would like to see those who have caused me pain have life come back to them and have life hit them back 5 times as hard.

If u feel so strongly about bullying than read what that low life wrote and what i answered, i hear you dear!

"i was actually a bully when i was in elementary school, and then again when i was 14/15, because i was in a lot of pain and i didnt have any help to express it in a healthy manner ((i was just a stupid kid. there was no way i could help myself))."
What kind of pain were you in at the time? Were you bullied? (If you can bear to talk about it, that is.)
Anyway, I read the whole thing and I'm glad you at least had the decency to admit that you were a bully and changed, because it's something no bully would ever do in real life. Until I read this, I believed bullies changing was only something that happened in movies. You've touched my heart.

I read that all.
I never wished harm upon the countless people I've been bullied by. I'm glad you understand what you did was wrong. I don't think I'll ever truly forgive the people who bullied me, as much as I try. I don't think I'll forgive them as much as I think I'll ever get over the trust issues I have now. I'm always worried that someone is lying to me, just waiting to mock me for believing them afterwards.
But I still respect you. You realize what you did was wrong.

Well the thing is when I was younger, I tried to not blame the bullies for what happened to me. I knew alot of them had problems at home, the worst guy (Lets call him Tom) Got sexually abused by his mother at home. Tom was in reality a nice guy, and when I was alone with Tom, he treated me right. But he was also the one who got the whole school to use me as a punching bag. Now don't take me wrong, I never blamed any of them (other then the populare girls who bullied just because the others did it) But I sometimes think back and ask myself "Why me? Why always me?" The answer is simple. I had a different haircolor then everyone else..
I never had an easy life either. I had to move school 4 times because of this problem. After the first 4 years of being bullied in school, I was shy and scared of other people, which naturally made me different in the new school, causing other troubled kids to use me the exact same way as the others used me. I never really had friends, and today I don't trust people.
When I was 16 I walked home after my first prom, and I was alone and depressed, how could I be so stupid letting my mother talk me into attending? That evening is something I will never forget simply because 4 boys from school had followed me without me knowing it, a block away from my house I was pulled into a dark alley and stripped of my dress and clothes with a knife to my throat, and all the time they were telling me how ugly I was. They risped my skin, making scars that I still have today. I thought I was about to get raped and murdered. Luckely for me they told me I was to ugly and left me there with no clothes, and it was winter. Eventually I got home. And thats the first time I said to myself. "I HATE those boys!" I didn't care if they had a hard time at home, but the pain they caused me that night made me also hate men..
I always understood that to be able to cause so much pain, the person must be in pain. But then again, the person never really think about what they do to others before it's too late. Thats what this stamp is suppose to say, not that bullies are bad people, but bullying is bad, and it infact ruins lives.
Today I am a paranoid girl with no friends and a natural hatred to men I don't know. And it hurts every day to know how wrong I am, but still this feeling I have inside of me meeting new people stops me from letting them know me.
Again, I am not telling you you were wrong in what you did. But I am just giving you another side as you did on how it is.
No therapists could ever help me with my problems, and I got no education today because I skipped school in fear of being around people.
sorry for long reply

Ugh, so damn true... I still didn't recovered from 8th grade, since 2008-2009; I've been constantly teased, followed almost everywhere and challenged to fight by my ex-classmates, it wasn't God knows what, if you where a tough person, but I'm incredibly sensitive ; since then I have a sick inclination towards violence ( thankfully just visual and verbal) and I'm almost a total loner, I barely can tie a conversation with someone, and I have an almost obsessive fear/hate for those classmates...

I know this very well, because it has destroyed my own life.
Funny enough, I still like to socialize, because that is just my personality.. But when I socialize with people I've just met, I feel this deep burden in my stomach, the fear of being rejected or left out. I've had that feeling ever since I've encountered such horrible people.
I also used to have these "moments" where I just sit down, think through all the events when I got bullied (even when I try to forget them, they just come back) and I even felt that karma didn't exist anymore.
I've found out that the reason why I get bullied is because I am more mature and I speak in a profound manner, so kids my age often get intimidated of me (my Mum has told me this) and now it makes so much sense. I'm not the problem, they're the problem. They're jealous of my higher standards, so they try to hammer me down to their standards.
I give all my hopes to those people who have experienced my pains, and therefore, I support this stamp. <3

Thank you for proving my theory about myself ture. I can't go to Homecoming without feeling sick 2 hours before. I love being alone even in my own house. I suffer hypochondria because I used it out of nessesity as a child. I have 2 undiagnosed panic disorders around swingsets and peers. I can't slide down fireman poles at the park anymore. It destroyed my life. I'm always afraid of being hurt. So take it from one of those 2.7 MILLION kids. IT HURTS!

Please help my friend by posting this on your page...it would mean the world to me! We have to get the word out, and she is trying!
Olivia-
I'm starting to speak out against cyberbullying, and I've been trying to win this competition to meet Justin Bieber to get him to help the cause. Because I believe that in America we have SOO many cyberbullies with websites such as formspring, or applications like honesty box. Even on Facebook, twitter, myspace, aim, o...ovoo, tokbox, and such. And I believe that if we could all speak against it, it'd be GREAT. I would love for everyone to become a member from this link below and confirm it through their email. It would mean that you're now a member of the Koini club which is a safe place that speaks out against bullying, and cyberbullying, and also would give me a point in which i need to get as many points as possible to win this trip to meet Justin Bieber and ask him to help us speak out against cyber bullying. This only takes a few minutes of your time, so if you could please do this to help me, and to help so many other people learn the harms of cyberbullying, and to be aware of the dangers out there, that would be SO great. I know this is a big dream, and it's gunna be hard to accomplish but I need everyones help!

[link] <--- link to Koini club...which speaks out against cyber bullying and will giver her (if you join) enough points to meet jb and talk to him about CB...all you have to do for this is sign up and emil verification. thats it.

Bullying sucks.
I've pretty much been bullied my whole school life, just because I was the person who dared to go out fo the box: I've had different interests, hobbies, fashion, and just overall style from most people I've met, and people make fun of me or leave me out a lot for it.
[link] This picture and the description speak for themselves.
I've found out recently through counseling taht I have mild Asperger's, which isn't a bad thing, I'm just a bit socially awkward with some high-running emotions. :S That can explain why I've been a bit of an odd duck, so to say. x3

When I was about 8years old, I realized something when I was looking around at the class when teacher was taking a coffee break
Everyone were lying to me.. Acting that they are my friends, until i heard one girl saying: "Look that fatty. Who she think she is?"
And it continued, i told the teacher couple times, but they didn't really do anything for it.
Until last school year. In our school is social worker, he is kind a scary looking but very friendly. Our class got an "adress" about bullying. We got it 5 times in month in autumn(fall) and spring. But almost anything didn't change. There is still few bullies in our class, and actors, who act that they are everyones friend but then stab them to back.

I was about that age when I finally came clean my principle of a Catholic School said she couldn't and wouldn't do anything about it. For an entire year I went virtually mute and stopped drawing and writing and singing. After that I realized I needed to change this. Check out my 100 themes I'm sure you'll enjoy the story.

Nothing ever helped on my situation either. Eventually when I came home with a broken nose and fractured ribs, mom and dad agrred on moving me to another school.. There it just continued, since I by that time was "weird" and didnt trust people.

Well my situation was not that bad... But my soul got attacks all the time. People were like spikes all around me.
I haven't moved to other school, becouse it's little bit difficult
Sometimes I start crying in the middle of day without reason in school, and everyone are staring me.
Also if i broke something in school, even if it can be fixed, I start to cry when I tell the teacher, becouse in last school, if someone broke something, It was my fault. The whole school knew my name and situation, the whole school bullied me and nobody didn't do anything. I've been betrayed many times, and I always forgive them, but not anymore. One time some my "friends" almost slapped me to face and tried to get me under tha car.

Well I know that there are people out there having it worse then me. I was beaten by the boys, and psychologically abused by the girls.. I always told myself to keep strong, even though I wanted to die quite often.. But hey.. I survived right?

Yep, You survived.
It's kind a pretty cool to think that you or me, or anyone who has got bullied, has survived.
But my one friend didn't. It was too much for him.
But, life goes on, even that I still remember those moments what I don't even want to.

I've been bullied in the past badly.
I was strong and made it past it, but it let me know how awful it is. I hate bullying. If I see it, I try to prevent it.
They mostly picked on me because I was sensitive and kind of awkward. -shakes head- It's just not right.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Holy shit, this comment is so old, how did you find it?
In any case... hurting them wouldn't be right. Sure, people wronged me, but an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. Some of them grow up and realize they were wrong (one of these former bullies actually apologized to me once we were both adults) and the others I just don't talk to, nor do I want to. They have their lives, and I have mine. People grow up and move on. That's the world; some people are assholes, but letting it haunt me and embitter me won't do them or I any good. I just hope they grew into better people, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt because people are stupid when they're kids; I know I was. That doesn't excuse some of the things they did to me, that's true, but people are capable of becoming better than they were. That's all I can hope for. I'm an adult, now, and staying angry about it is unhealthy.
