You almost got killed from being bullied?? That was terrible..
I'm glad you got through that

hehe ok i guess i wasn't specific enough,,what happend is,,like bluey i had a curve in my spine its called scoliosis well i had a corset a thing to try to make it better,,,,(they usually try that before operating just in case it could help) well i whore it for 2 years and people would laugh at me then push me down the stares,,,my mom told the principal and he said to keep me home cause i was to much of a hassel and they couldn't keep everyone from hurting me, well one time the last time they pushed me down my corset almost strangled me,,i was 2 weeks in the hospital cause i almost died,,i couldn't talk that hole time cause it hurt too much,,,well needless to say i didn't go back to that school again

Oh my..I'm sorry to hear about that, mimi. That was horrible of them

yeah,,,but i am over it by now i have forgave them,,,,some people say that i am a good person cause i did forgive them,,,but in a way it was more for me then them that i forgave,,,, it just took a heavy load off my back

Good for you

yea, bullying can leave lasting marks not just emotionally but physically as well. In middle school I started hanging out with the wrong crowd to put it bluntly, and a person who I naively thought was my friend at the time would always bully me by taking the knuckle of his index finger and press in the center of my chest while doing the same thing on the back in the same place with the other finger. It hurt excruciatingly, but I didn't realize until years later, that it had actually changed the way my bones grew, the bone that's right over my heart is indented towards my heart so that I have a massive divot right there, and the bone above my ribs protrudes slightly, just enough to be noticeable. But that's alright because now that guy is now a drug dealer somewhere...

Hi Mimi38,

Firstly, I just wanted to say you have an amazing attitude. It takes a really brave person to forgive something like that.
I'm still extremely angry and bitter at the people who bullied me in school. They made me feel like shit everyday, and it was back then when my problems with self-esteem, confidence etc started. They called me names, tripped me up, put things in my hair (chewing gum, spit etc) and beat me up regularly. And I never ever fought back. I tried telling the teachers, but their way of dealing with it was to call a meeting with the people bullying me in the same room, and then asking me if they were bullying me right in front of them. What was I meant to do?
I've tried to say to myself "They were just kids, it was years ago, you need to move on", but I just cant. I hope I do get to a stage in my life where I can let it go, but I'm not sure I can right now.

GOD! I can acutely believe that could happen as well. It would be cos you was still growing and your bones would still be soft.

Your old chums hah if you can call them that are not the only ones on drugs. A lot off ppl I know and bullied are on drugs are dead and even living on the streets some where.

I do think that you take this kinder thing into adult life with you.

Chris 2 I was wondering how old you where as I think the memere's you have are still very fresh in your mined. See the older I get the less I become bothered about them that bullied me. Given even 5 - 7 years ago I would of felt exactly how you did. And yea I would even feel angry at there parents for letting them be like that. Now I feel sorry for most of them. Still there is a couple of them that ad like to kick in the, well You know where.

it doesn't come that easy,,i will be 40 in January and i have only just decided that i don't want others to rule my life,,,and i still get bullied by the school,,,cause when your kids don't perform right in school they have decided these days that its the parents fault,,,,anyway all that to say i finally understand that i want control over my own life,,,and if i don't do that well i will teach my kids to be like i was,,,a victim and i surely don't want that,,,,

I wish the bullies killed me when I was in the 5th grade. Would have saved me from a lot of pain, agony, ridicule, and shame in the future years. If I could go back in time I would fight back at the bullies so that they can beat me up even harder to the point that I would bleed to death.
