I got bullied when I was in year 6, year 2 and year 3 it was horrible. Speak up about it, tell someone that's how my bullying stopped. X

When I was being bullied, I didnt want to tell anyone, I thought that they might think that I was making it sound worse than it really is. but after i had told my parents they told my school and they sorted it out. but unfortunatly the person who was bullying me lived in my village, and he used to follow me when i got off the bus and would shout out names. Soon the police got involved as he bullied many other people. if i hadnt told anyone i would have still been very unhappy.

I know how angel feels. My friend, also named Callum, turned against me. It really isn't a nice feeling and I cried every day. Now, I see what happened. I really wanted to be friends with him again and he just didn't want to know. I also had a mega crush on him, and when he started going out with Romany, I just about died. I still feel ill when i think about him. I just need help!!!

I got bullied for years, although i never spoke up.. felt quite stupid saying i got bullied, was really embrassed.. i used to skiped school because of it. I still try my best to keep my distance from the people who like to pick on me and start fights with me...

When I was bullied I didn't at first just speak out.Instead I found a way of showing the bullies that they didn't phase me. For me this was performing in the school concert, and doing karaoke in our school music class. And now I'm not being bullied and i'm getting people telling me how good I was in the school corridor, whereas before they wouldn't even say hi. So now I think that as well as talking about it, it can be good to show people who you instead of being quiet.Coz that gets people to listen to you and to notice you and that can create respect for who you are.

I was bullied last year by people spreading rumours, teachers didn't listen and just took no notice. all they said was ignore them they will soon give up, thing is they didn't. things got so out of control that i took an overdose at school and ended up being took to hospital. i was maded to speak to a sicologist which helped. the teachers at school finally then started to do something about it. i'm not saying that you should risk taking your life to be heard i'm just saying that you should never give up trying. when i ever get any trouble now i keep telling and telling the teachers at school and they do something about it. xxxxx

i this previous year i have been bullied. it started of as what they called a joke but i didnt find it funny at all. then they got about 6 people to come up to me to me and start verbally harrassing me when i was out of site of the teachers. they excluded me and gossiped obout me behind my back and half the time they wernt quiet enough and i heared what they were saying. what was even worse, i thought these people were my best friends. one person stuck by me and went with me to tell someone, which is the best option, but then they found out. they didnt believe they done wrong and started pushing me away from my remaning friends and bullying me to say sorry for what i believe is telling someone about it but i still am glad i told someone because if they carry on the person i told will be notified straight away... TELL SOMEONE!!!

When I got bullied it took me along time to say anything about it... But it was soo long that I had deletled the message and reported abuse on the bebo profiles so I couldn't show the evidence... It you are bullied tell straight away!

I was badly bulllied for a long time. i was beaten up, rumours were spread about me, i was called names the lot but the best thing i ever did in the time i was bullied was tell someone, at first the school didnt do much, but in the end the bully got chucked out of the school, because other people were being bullied by the same girl, and everyone who told helped themselves!!! Tell someone if ur being bullied, its the best thing !!

i think bullies are just jelous of the person that they are bullying and would like them not to be who they are. the person who is been bullied might have bigger boobs than them (iam and i am getting bulllied for it)or might be slimmer or bigger than them. the bullies only go for quiat people as they know they wont tell and wont stand up for them selfs. we need to stop bullies. if you are one of the quiat people, then go talk to someone who you know and trust and let them know whats going on, dont suffer in silance. Never suffer alone! Be yourself, not what everyone else wants you to be. Dont let bullies win. xxxxx

I was going out with a mosher called Callum for about 4 1/2 years. A few months ago, we decided to go public. Suddenly, the whole school turned on me for going out with him. I was a "slag, tart, slut, desperate prozzie" for going out with Callum. I didn't spend a day at school without having something thrown at me- more often than not, a condom. Then the worst happened. Callum turned his back on me. he didn't want to know. He'd tried sticking up for me, but his mosher mates didn't like me, and told him if he spoke to me, they'd not let him in his group. he picked them over me.

i was bullied by my own friends last year who started excluding me and running away from me. i felt really bad about myself and would cry when i got home, but i never told anyone. i don't want anyone to go through what i did, and i regret not taking action,. I still feel angry now, but don't know what i can do, should i tell them how i feel, or should i just leave it. I'm scared that if i eave it i'll always be downhearted and will have no confidence in myself.

i was visiously bullied in primary school. i had no friends, the girls would gossip about me and the boys would through things at me. i remember one day a group of girls came up to me and drew on my eyelids sayng they were giving me a make-over. i would go back to my house and bang my head against the wall. at the time i didn't know it was self harm. and all through those five years i never told a soul what was happening to me.i've had 3 years of peace because i moved to secondary school but last week i started to get bullied again by a gang of 'chavvettes'. it's a wierd feeling being bullied again. they don't do anything physical, they just spread rumors and shout names at me down the corridor (they are too chicken to say it too my face because i am a black belt and i do kick boxing, lol!). but this time i know what to do about it. i know some of my friends have got my back =]"defeat you enemies with sucsess!"

I was bullied verbally bullied for a whole school year. I spoke up to the teachers and they helped. I know its hard but if you are being bullied just tell a teacher you can trust or a head of year or some1 like that. Its an awful thing being bullied but just remember theres nothing wrong with you, your not the one with problems and its defiantly not your fault. The people that are bullying you are the ones that have problems. God knows what problems they are but it could be anything like problems at home, problems with themself or they could just have anger issues etc. There jelous of your happiness so they want to see feel the same pain they do and at the same time they are boosting their self asteem whilst crushing yours. I just really want ppl who are being bullied to get their lives back to normal so please please speak up.xxxxxx

People who bully, for example for lunch money are just poor and angry people sometimes so they bully to get the money. Someone has attempted to bully me once but because I stood for my self and he also found out I was strong headed he backed off. So it is important to be confident in yourself and stand up for yourself.

i dont think the bully is a weirdo i think they're just misunderstood or they are dealing with a traumatic or upsetting insident by taking it out on the victin. I am not saying that it is alright to do this but i think the bully (and the victim) needs help!

i was bullies for 3 years and it drove me to the point of attempting to take my own life. if you are being bullied, you deserve help. i wish more people would take bullying seriously, it ruins people's lives. almost a year on from when i spoke out, i am still in therapy. bullying is a SERIOUS issue. anyone struggling out there, speak out and get help x

Jade, 16
I agree with both Gabriella and Soph.I know its hard to tell someone that you are being bullied,But if you tell a family member or friend that you trust well,It will help and you can get it sorted and get on with your life.People who bully others have sad lives,And were either bullied themselves of something has happened and they want others to feel the painx
