I wish my bullies knew that they aren't the only ones who bully me, I also bully myself every single day and them saying the things I think about myself just makes everything even worse for me to cope with it.

I wish they knew that they helped me grow and stand up for myself, but I also want them to know that after what they did and said I had lack of confidence and I hated myself in a way they will never understand.

I wish they knew I had low self-esteem,which I compensated by trying to be the smartest in the room but it wasn't enough. But still,they had to make my life more miserable than it already was..

I feel more confident, but its still not fully back. I feel sorta happy it happened, so I could relate to people in the situation and help them get through it.

Hey @Kristmas

I'm glad to hear that you feel more confident. Out ofΒ curiosity, how do youΒ think you were able to build yourΒ confidence? The things you didΒ could help you to get it fully back if you do more ☺️. I get what you mean about feeling sorta happy. We find it quite rewarding to help other people, and I just want to say that I think it's amazing to use your bad experiences to help other people. Go youΒ πŸ‘

I think I was able to build back my confidence, because once I learned how to stand up for myself more people wanted to be on my good side and so they were way nicer. Also I had my family to lean on to give me the confidence I needed. It wasn't easy, but I had to learn they had there own problems. I realizedΒ they felt that they could take it out on me and itΒ makes me feel good, becauseΒ they knew I could handle it and that gives me more confidence and they just didn't know it.

Keep being me and don't listen to what other people say. Also lean on the people I know who will help boost it and they can help me too.

This kid in my class was horrible to me for the dumbest reason - we were born in the same day but I was born a bit earlier and he has wanted to be better than me at everything since he found out. I wish he would know how it affected me and that I would always end the day feeling awful because of him. If you somehow see this I hope you know it's you mister actually-born-8-hours-after-me.

I also want to mention this one time when both are mums agreed I was older and then afterwards he came up to me and said 'yeah but technically I'm still older'. REALLY LEO???????

I'm sorry you had this experience - it's important to remember that it's always because of the attitudes of the person/people doing the bullying that are at fault. For example, if someone experiences racist hate, it is the racist attitudes that are wrong and not a person's skin colour which they should rightly be proud of. It's hard to remember this sometimes when we have these experiences but it can help to flip the narrative.Β Β Β

It’s not this fun game of β€œrun away screaming whenever you are close to [REDACTED (deadname)] until she’s crying in the counselor’s office”

Hey,

I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. Just remember that when someone bullies you, the problem is with them, not you. The person being bullied ends up being the target for whatever the other person is going through. There is nothing wrong with you, and you did not deserve this. If you like, you can talk to us about this. We are here for you.Β 

  • Thanks 1

Guess what?Β  Β IΒ  learned that they were not a friend at all and I was better off without them.Β  I became successful, graduated from college and have a great career and true friends that treat me with respect and dignity.Β  They are the loser...I would have been a great friend.Β  They blew it for themselves!

i wish they knew that even though i liked them (as more than a friend) they had no right to make fun of me. i had just come out to my parents as a lesbian and life was pretty hard already. i realized the person for who she was and lost feeling..Β πŸ™‚ thanks for reading
