Recommended: Story of primary school bullying

Becoming the person I am today wasn't easy especially because I was never like this, I was usually that kid who sat by themselves would not socialize and avoid everyone. Because from elementary school all the way till 8th grade I was bullied by people who just wanted to bother me for the heck of it. I can’t explain that inner feeling from inside when you hear people say horrible stuff to you. To me this famous quote “stick and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me”, was a lie and it did hurt. One spring evening after a difficult day of school in elementary school, I was chased home by a group of kids that have been pushing me around, name calling, taking my stuff and humiliated me from the past months. I never grew the strength to stand up to those people because I was afraid of them hitting me afraid if they will spread rumors. Thank god when I graduated 5th grade I thought finally i will leave and never see those idiots ever in my life sadly when I entered middle school some of those kids entered the same school I was in and it kept on the harassment the name call...

    When I was in Middle School, I was one of the shy and overweight girls who were picked on constantly. Every day felt like a battlefield, with people throwing crumpled up papers at me, but this form of bullying was nothing compared to everything else done to me. For example, girls would tease me because of my dark skin, and they would tell me that I was not good enough for a boyfriend. Likewise, people would make fun of me by calling me a whale or Miss Piggy, making me feel atrocious about myself. I could not look in the mirror because I thought I was disgusting. I felt like I was made imperfectly compared to the other girls in my school, like I was cursed, and that “God” gave up on my looks while I was still in my mother’s womb. Because of being bullied, I developed depression, low self-esteem, and social phobia.

  • The College Experience

    "Tomorrow is the first day of what I will become." I wrote this in my diary the night before my first day of college. I was anxious as I imagined the stereotypical college room: intellectual students, in-depth discussions about neat stuff, and of course, a casual professor sporting the tweed jacket with leather elbows. I was also ill as I foresaw myself drowning in a murky pool of reading assignments and finals, hearing a deep, depressing voice ask "What can you do with your life?" Since then, I've settled comfortably into the college "scene" and have treated myself to the myth that I'll hear my calling someday, and that my future will introduce itself to me with a hardy handshake. I can't completely rid my conscience from reality, however. My university education and college experience has become a sort of fitful, and sleepless night, in which I have wonderful dreams and ideas, but when I awaken to apply these aspirations, reality sounds as a six thirty alarm and my dreams are forgotten.

  • Pros of Bullying

    1147 Words  | 3 Pages

    In today’s society, we all need just a little push and that may come from parents, friends, or bullies. This push is necessary in order to mentally prepare children and teenagers alike for the world which is full of mean and disrespectful people. This world has no place for those who have a weak mind or cannot muster up the strength to assert their will. When I say that people need a push, I do not necessarily mean a positive one. When people think of bullying in a modern context they think of a group of children surrounding a single child throwing insult after insult while getting physically abused. Once people see this image in their mind they think of it as nothing but negativity and fail to see it in a positive light and that is the simple fact that getting bullied is merely a form of constructive criticism which is necessary evil in terms of building character.

    I was so self-conscious and honestly never thought much of myself; all I knew were the negatives. But I was always nice to everyone though, that was an important thing to me. I believed that if I was nice eventually they would stop with the bullying; this is something I would always say to myself to keep my hopes up. I was surprised though when I began high school; it felt as if everyone had totally forgot about how they would pick on me, it took all this for me to finally realize that I shouldn’t have let that happen to me. It was Friday, December 21, 2012 that I was lying in my room going through my thoughts that I finally asked myself why I don’t feel confident.

    I have been bullied all my life, I just took it from kids, clearly I did not have a backbone. For each school I attended, I was always the easy target. I let kids tease me, talk behind my back, and call me names. It seemed like it didn’t matter if I told my parents or someone at school, nothing changed. I never really felt that I could tell someone and have things be different. Due to all the teasing, I would often become distracted and lose focus on my assignments. It got worse each year to the point where half the time I would just be in my own little world to get away from the teasing.

    The part that hurt the most about trying to lose my bullies was that I lost myself. I ended my sophomore year and began my junior year with a recurring eating disorder. A disease that truly eats you away from the inside out. It was a real, physical display of what was happening in my head. My bullies were eating away at me, scrounging up any vulnerable piece of me they could find to make me weaker. Also at this time my only three friends I had in school were newly settled into their freshmen year of college. My friends always tried to distract me and encourage me to focus on my studies and not the people in the school. They offered me their guarded safety while I was at school. Because of their loyalty to me, and the fact that I had been hurt by so many people before them, I had not made any friends beside them. As my junior year started I had not a single friend in school. Not everyone was necessarily mean to me and many even knew my situation, but did not try to befriend me and I did not try either. It was easier to isolate
