bad. i got pushed off a cliff on elementary and it almost gave me brain damage.
teachers also participated in bullying me or turned their backs to it, preaching the usual "there's no bullying in our school"
my body shape got mocked a lot as i grew up because of my curves and it earned me the nickname of an elephant.
couldn't even get friends even in high school because everyone knew my reputation in elementary/middle so i was really lonely. the active bullying itself had stopped but my mental health already was utter trash at that time and it definitely showed in my grades
having "quirky" interests like sonic the hedgehog, creepypastas and what not didn't really help the case either.

Extremely extreme. And yes, teachers also turned a blind eye to it and considered me a drama queen who always needed to be "special". Plus at home my grandma was an absolute tyrant. I endured it all until age 11, then I went into total rebellion and decided to never ever go to school again. The fifth grade remained my last one, to this day. I'm entirely self-taught.
Yours is extreme but it lasted till you were 11?Mine lasted till i was 19(end of high school)
which country you are from?
where are you from?

Intensively bad. Mental and physical bullying from teachers and other kids. In boarding school it was from sunday evening to saturday noon. Horrible during 5 years (10 to 15 yo). Then in high school it was mainly mockery because of my facial tics. My suicidality began when I was 10 because of these reasons. I'll be 44 soon but I wish I had committed suicide when I was 10 (with another kid, we wanted to jump from the building at night). We had plans to run away from this hellish place.
Damn, now I have these fucking memories in my mind, but it's a good thing to ask other people how it was. If there is a pill to erase all my traumas, I'll eat this pill instantly !

Pretty horrific. I was bullied all throughout the entirety of school and I live with permanent trauma from everything I went through. Most of it was emotional abuse but sometimes it was physical too, like being shoved or having things thrown at me.
Being autistic made me a massive target for bullying and harrassment. Teachers hardly cared either.

Well, the trouble only got worse then if anything, as I was put in a psychiatric ward for refusing to go to school - twice even, and both times by violent force, very traumatic. I was born in the US but taken back to Germany by my mom to live with her parents there - I always hated German, refused to learn the language, but I'm still stuck here. Absolutely isolated as a consequence, of course.
Hey mine was similar as well.Where are you from?
DOes it still affect you or have you recovered?
I was also bullied very badly.It lasted till i was 19 but it does not affect me now.I am in my mid 20s.Where are you from and I am sorry you had to go throught hat.I can relate to a lot of the painLast edited:

It was awful. It was always verbal (aside from my stuff getting stolen/ruined, notes attached to my back and the goddamn paper balls) and it started in elementary school, where I was tormented not only by my classmates, but by my teacher as well! I was an innocent, shy child who wouldn't speak much and, apparently, they couldn't stand that. It continued in middle school with the worst episode I can recall.
It affected my life in ways that I don't know if I'll ever be able to undo. I truly believe that if I hadn't been bullied so badly, my life would have taken a totally different turn, and I wouldn't be where I am now. I'd probably be a fully functional adult who has her life together. What I got instead is that my feelings were never acknowledged/validated, and I was never able to process what happened in a healthy way.
Since it occurred so early on and went on for so much time without me ever being defended or helped, I grew up with certain detrimental beliefs about myself and my life that have shaped the way I think of myself and move through the world. I don't know a life without those beliefs, and I wonder every day if I ever will. I still have nightmares, every once in a while, in which I get bullied, and when I wake up I still feel like that helpless little girl. Some things you just can't send away I guess.

I moved schools in elementary and got bullied by teachers and students. Teachers would flip my desk over making me pick up all my stuff and students would do physical and mental bullying throwing stuff at me, breaking my school projects, spreading rumors, drawing inappropriate things on my back. it broke my mind

Weirdly enough, despite me having quite a few traits you could easily bully, I've never really been bullied. Then again my school was pretty much like mean girls where bullying consisted of exclusion and making remarks that you can't tell if they're compliments or insults, so maybe I'm just blind.

I would say medium. I was called a fag by this one girl a lot in 4th grade and then one time I called her a cow in retaliation. My teacher heard and she made half the class sing P!nk's "Stupid Boy" in reference to myself lol. In hindsight I kind of laugh but it was horrible when it happened lol.
One time this same teacher tasked me to sweep and I was a little mischievous and decided to sweep a bit of the dirt under the rug. Would you believe she actually made the class DRAW ME sweeping under the rug.
I had a strange relationship with her now that I look back. She was very Italian and I was the only "very Italian" kid in her class so she made me teacher's pet in 3rd grade. But her initials were F.U. and she wrote them on everything, so I would make the whole class laugh by saying F.U. to her. I guess by fifth grade she just decided to wreck me and put me in my place.
I was also bullied a lot as a kid by this one guy who I think we found out later was special needs. One time in my hometown when I did shrooms a bit later on, around 16 years old we ran into him and he bullied me again while I was on shrooms
he whipped out his dick and it gave me a bad trip
same I had to quit a really good job a couple years ago because of literal playground-style bullying and that was when I was entering my 30s. It got to a point where I actually put a restraining order on my coworker and the cops were pissing their pants like it all had to be a joke. Like this actually happened on a playground while we were doing construction.Last edited:It could have been way worse than it was but I still carry the pain today. I experienced some from a family member which had a big impact on me. I have bad periods of nightmares from this. I wouldn't say I was bullied in school but I was occasionally picked on. It's sad to look back on because I don't even think I always realised I was being made fun of at the time.

I'm from Australia. I've been out of school for a decade and I am still bullied to this very day but these days its less often and far more subtle. I haven't recovered and I'm still affected by childhood bullying and I probably always will be. It's hard for me to go out anywhere in public, I'm always very tense and on-edge. For example whenever I see groups of young people I automatically get very anxious and uncomfortable. I also have very little trust in others.

Umm four years name calling,didnt say anything until 6th grade until I had enough and decided to throw a boulder at him and he decided to retaliate, cried, got called to the principal office. He got in trouble (i dont think so)
He got held back a grade and I never saw him again.
Compared to other casses it wasnt that bad but it affected me mentally for long time.
