Discussion were u bullied as a kid?

[itllbeover]

People are so cruel, I'll never understand why I was harassed and made fun of for no reason. In school I was quite timid and would only speak to a few close friends. I didn't pose any threat to anyone neither was I mean or insulting. I just don't understand why people are so cold and malice. Even now it's stuck with me, im tired of the pitiful looks I receive from strangers in class because they know somethings going on. It just puts me off getting help or talking about how I feel because I'm a sorry case to everyone.

 

[its-about-time]

I was never bullied, I was teased certainly in elementary but middle and high school I was actually pretty well liked and received. I just have always struggled to feel close relationships with people. So I never had close friends. Lots of people I could see and hang out with every day, but I always felt so distant from them, and since I never stuck around with one group long, they didn't invest much in me either. Not the worst situation, just a lonely one that made me always feel incapable of having "real" friends, I still often feel that way… so I see myself as more of a cultural enthusiast, I hang out with very different types of people and just adopt their interests while I'm around them, I'm like my own individual scientist, it seems to work for me. Like living in a tv show.

I was psychologically bullied at school and I lived in a very negative environment both at school and in the family ... these things unfortunately affect you for life especially if they happen and you have no one to help you face these terrible moments, which it did not happen to me since i had a shitty family and shitty parents and in fact look at the shit in which I find myself now

 

[miserableforever]

Yes. Too lazy to elaborate, but so much yes.

 

[ShadowsFall]

Extensively.... for anything and everything. Pretty much kept to myself and didn't bother anyone else. There were rumors that the principal at the public school I attended actually resigned, due to not knowing how to handle the constant psychological abuse I was put thru on a daily basis. It got so bad my final year of elementary school, that I actually transferred to a private school my first year of middle school.

Yes so much that I got fed up so much I came to the idea of being a bully myself so I can fight just for them to stop bullying me. They stopped yes but with that, I have become the black sheep. Was also bullied at home and being condescended upon since I was the youngest among my siblings. It felt like I had no right to speak for myself and when I want to share my problems, its outright interpreted as my fault or just nuances.

 

[ClownMe]

I got bullied in high school.

 

[NorseHel]

Yep. I was lucky enough that the bullies were from a different group we only sometimes shared a classroom with, but it got to the point where I was just terrified of even moving at all during those classes. Which of course they picked up on and then that became another thing to hate me for. Thankfully I was able to move to a different school for the last two years of highschool and have a mostly positive experience there

 

[Al_stargate]

I had some rough times and some good times too. Most kids usually were on both spectrum at some point, did bullying and received it. Mild to moderate bullying, people will likely overcome any trauma with age, heavy bullying can leave permanent psychological damage resulting in all kinds of behavioral issues. I think schools and parents have a lot of responsibilities here and often don't give a shit sadly.

 

[Ready2GoNow2022]

Yes, quite a lot by a few different people. I can say with certainty that it has affected my feelings of self worth to this day.

 

[ornitier199]

No, not that I really remember of. Since I mainly kept to myself and hid in the library with my head in the books and my writing. Never expose myself to the general crowd in schools, so I think I got lucky to escape that part.

Kinda sad, sorry.

 

[Pain In The Ass]

I didn't pose any threat to anyone

That's sometimes the reason some people get bullied. If you posed a threat, they likely wouldn't have done it. That's the bully mentality.

 

[Cathy Ames]

Yes.

 

[ornitier199]

Kinda sad, sorry.

Avoiding being bullied kinda sad? I never even stepped foot in Eaglecrest's lunchroom at all through seen I transferred there last three years.
I'd never eat at all in school, instead would wait until 5/6pm to maybe eat my then lunch. Never liked eating and eating around others. I did like the extra time lunch gave for writing and reading.

 

[fatefulstillness]

Mostly in highschool, but yes. People are horrible.

Depends on how you were feeling. Maybe you liked being at a library or more on your own. Avoiding socializing and common areas because of fear of bullying is kinda sad.

 

[unkuto]

I got bullied and harassed in middle and high school and even in the college for being gay. Once I was beaten up by 15 kids who was waiting for me after school.
Two of them got a year in juvenile detention center. Been harassed by my parents as well until they died.

 

[MatthewV3]

Well, I was diagnosed with selective mutism. I wasn't talking to anyone in the class from kindergarten to 6th grade. I only had a 2-3 friends and I was talking with them during breaks between lessons but when I was with my class I was muted and I was only nodding my head for "yes" and "no". I got bullied beacause I was that one looser in the class, even after I opened myself, I was extremely shy. Kids used to laugh at me because I wasn't talking, they blamed me for everything bad that happened because I was to afraid to speak and defend myself. All these years destroyed me. I had to be home schooled in highschool because I was afraid of this to happen again.

 

[pudds]

Yep. It came to the point where people wouldn't even go near things I've touched. It really was awful.

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes, but I try not to think about the past so much. It is pointless to me. All life is meaningless after all and all of our memories will die with us. People can certainly be very cruel and awful, they can make our lives so much worse. It is horrifying to me that so many people have been through bullying. I stay away from most people now, I need to be alone.

 

[NorseHel]

Yep. It came to the point where people wouldn't even go near things I've touched. It really was awful.

Bullying of any kind is abhorrent, but this hits home for me. Disgust was the main sentiment used to target me, and it's such a vile way to absolutely destroy someone's self esteem. I'm sorry you were made to go through that.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

Yes at times…wish I had been taught to fight back.

 

[Eternal Oblivion]

That's what happened to me. Bullied hard and with shitty distance neglecting parents. Oh well.

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

Yes and also when I was in kindergarten.

 

[forgotten15]

Yes, bullied, called ugly so many times and marginalised. People can be so horrible no matter their age.

 

[unlucky melancholia]

I was bullied since I was 6 until I was 18 because I have a physical disability and I'm socially awkward. In middle school, they said I was the ugliest in the class, and no one would ever like me.

 

[Ravel]

I was bullied before I even entered school. I was beaten for no reason. They abused me sexually. In high school they just made fun of me, calling me a psychopath for being too quiet. People are cruel and this world is evil. I hope humanity goes extinct in the near future

 

[Journeytoletgo]

I was bullied for acne skin condition ages 14-18 middle school to high school complete torture which ruined my self esteem and self belief. It was the worse pain ever during that time EVER. Life improved a bit during Uni but I still felt like crap from the pain endured in my teens and then the path to destruction afterwards and here I am numb

 

[lostmylove]

Yes relentlessly from 13-16. By maybe 7 or 8 people. Didn't think about how much it effected me until recently, I've had no friends since this age (I'm 24 now)

Only one relationship of any meaning
