Have you been bullied before? If so, tell how you put up with them or stopped them. I was bullied in fourth grade by a girl who stole my friends (don’t ask) and turned them against me. She would laugh at me and talk about me behind my back. So for about three months, I just let her. But towards the end of the school year, I realized doing that was letting her win. So on the last week of school, I said to her “You have been mean all year to me and everyone else. You lie, cheat, and steal friends because it makes you feel good. Why can’t you just share friends like everybody else? You don’t need to take friends away and all behind backs just to get your way! Nobody wants to be your friend because you are so mean! Don’t you realize that? You have talked behind my back for all this time for what? Satisfaction? Nobody wants a friend like that!” She looked at me and I could tell she was looking for a retaliation, but none came up. I walked out of that classroom a little higher that day.

In 6th grade (last year) there were two girls, they were always mean to me, kicking, stealing, making fun of me, I always wanted to fight back but I was too scared. So one day, they went TOO far. They stole my crush and dared him to say mean things to me, (not saying what he said) so on that day, I knew they were just being mean to irritate me. So I went one girl and said…“Look Amber, I don’t wanna keep being nice to you when your being rude and mean, so here’s a tip…stop!” And even though she still hates me, atleast I know what to do to stand up for myself!

Yes, and I’m not going into several stories (Because that’s tooooooooooo long),I once got called a lesbian in a chat room because I stayed up late to talk to one of my friends - I one, stay up late all of the time, and, I love her - As a BFF, not a girlfriend. I recently shared this on my FB page. Sticks and stones may break my bones But words can also hurt me Sticks and stones break only skin While words are ghosts that haunt me Pain from words has left its scar On mind and heart that’s tender Cuts and bruises now have healed It’s words that I remember ^ True; when I was in first grade, I actually got bullied. I got pulled from school and was homeschooled. I met acting after that, however, in that protective environment, it was still horrible. I got called inappropriate things, Asian inspired which made me hate my race - And, I’ll always remember that. I’ve gotten cyber-bullied too; it hurts, but what makes me feel better is people saying, they’re not worth it. Anyone who makes fun of someone just wants attention because they’re hurting. When you’re getting bullied, you don’t think of that - So, I get someone I trust and have then take care of it. I stay in the chat rooms because I have to know what’s going on, what they’re saying behind my back - But that’s not good. If they want to talk behind your back about things that aren’t true, let them. Youknow what’s true. Someone told me I listen to the negative more than the positive. Sound familiar? That what you guys do? Because I do, and, you may think it’s bad, but you have friends on wH will help you through it. BTW, if you were bullied and still need to talk about it, I’m always glad to listen. I’ve had it all (I think) so I know what you’re going through. =) June Days

That’s a touching story June Days!!!
I was once bullied by this semi-athletic fat kid - he threw a mean sucker punch (got me in the stomach, hard, on two separate occasions in middle school). I wondered what his problem was, until he told me; among many other problems, he was most upset about how his older brother had to join the armed forces. Plus, I was gawky and stupid in that age, and probably more annoying to him than he was to me. If you were to ask who the bully was, I’d say he started it that way - but it was truly me. It just goes to show that there is more than one side to every story - as some famous person I’ve probably never heard of once said, “Be kind to everyone - they’re all going through a lifelong struggle”. Also, bullies don’t deserve all of the negative attention the media has been giving them. This is official child business - no need to intervene in the environment of adversity.
I was once bullied when this girl who always picks on me (until she moved away) made me trip on the Sidewalk. (OUCH!) I was embarressed and she kept picking on me. One day, I stood up to her and I still got laughed at D: So, after she moved away, I was happy…
I know Maxie. Well, June has alot of good wikiHow friends to be kind and thoughtful to her.
Ten years of my life went that way. Ages 6-16. Blerrrrrgh, being the weird, awkward kid was so much fun.
Lol @Writelf

Yeah, being weird is awesome. Normal people are missing out. Yay for my weirdness!
