Reblog if you’ve ever been bullied.
Let’s see how many notes this will get.
7th grade - the worst grade of my life. Because of the spitballs, bullying, and general stupidity I had to go through. :/
I’ve been bullied for being too fat, later for being too thin, for being a geek and generally not fitting in.
I used to deliberately get questions wrong in tests, and try ridiculously hard to be ‘cool’ like everyone else.
Funnily enough it stopped when I stopped pretending to be someone else, and found myself. It was actually when I started drawing about 4 years ago. Now people know that I’m a weirdo, and they don’t care. :>
For being that weird girl who just randomly showed up one day and can’t speak.
It took about around a year and half of hard work to get fully past the language barrier; after that things got better. Mostly because certain people realized I won’t just sit there and take their shit, and now I’ve got the means to vocalize it instead of just shuffling into the corner to plot passive-aggressive revenge.
I was tied up in kindergarten, teased to the point of tears daily in elementary school, spit on in middle school, and emotionally abused by someone I considered to be my best friend for half of high school. Need I say more?
The good news is I found that someone actually cared and I can honestly say that even though I suffered through I’m ok. c:
Picked on from 4th grade to 9th grade by a bunch of people. The people who became my friends from 4th grade to 7th grade, turned around and left me behind. One girl shaved half my eyebrows off as an attempt to make me more “popular” and forced me to be preppy. A bunch of the “friends” I had turned around and called me a lesbo or lesbian because the only friend I had held my hand whenever I got bullied. I went to the office multiple times but of course, the student who picked on me had parents who taught at the school. They did nothing. I got pushed and shoved into the walls. They’d pick on me relentlessly. When I came out of the closet in 8th grade, and I had my first girlfriend, they reported me for kissing my girlfriend on the cheek when other couples were completely making out in the hallways. I almost got ISS for “PDA” which was hand-holding and kissing on the cheek. People called me “fag”, “dyke”, “fatty”, “dumbass” and “disgusting”. Around 10th grade, I just didn’t give a shit anymore. The true friends who stood by my side were all that mattered. My academics were gonna get me somewhere in life. And they are. Things are only going to get better from here. <3
