I'm so sorry you feel this way. *great big hugs to you* I'm glad they didn't, because I enjoy reading your posts.

Thanks BG

I'm sorry you feel this way too lonely.

yeah there are other things that have knocked my confidence down really badly.

Haha, well well, look at me, I am in the unis and I am still getting bullied. People vent their frustrations on me, verbally abuse me, throw things at me...and I have to take them all, and it tears me apart really...but there is nothing that i can really do. I need those people, so here goes my pride....haha besides...I am never really anyone to begin with =(

SadRabbit, Why do you have to take that. NO one should have to take that sort of thing. Its demoralizing and takes who we are away from us. You always have a chows???

Do you?

I never got bullied. I had cats try me, which ALWAYS resulted in a fight.
Win or Lose, I never took ****, and I never will.

i was never really bullied per se, BUT...
i guess i've lost faith in humanity or something - and don't get me wrong, i realize that being bullied is an awful situation to be in, and a very hard one to get out of. however, i have never understood WHY it's so impossible to just TALK to bullies. i mean, what kind of person would be MEAN to others for FUN? it honestly just seems crazy to me. it's like they lack the "normal" gene. ugh. I'm a logical and rational person, and i just can't seem to see why approaching them saying (seriously) "i'm not sure why you're treating me like this, but please stop. believe it or not, i don't really enjoy it, and...well... it's just a waste of your energy. glad we had this talk." would be of no use. i just don't get it. i mean, essentially, aren't you just appealing to their rational side here? wouldn't this just make SENSE to them? it's so frustrating how stupid and mean people can be.

Then again, this forum is totally the opposite. It's also surprising how kind and helpful people can be.

We're a funny race, hmm?


(as a side note to those who think i'm being insensitive: i've actually spent several summers working at a camp for young girls who have been bullied, so i'm really not ignorant or insensitive to the issue... i just get so frustrated thinking about all the lives that have been touched by this growing societal problem... i guess i just wanted to vent a little. sorry for the rant. hah.)

I had this "best friend" who had some home problems which she took out on me. Back then i was willing to be her emotional punch-bag, thinking that she would do the same for me. Of course she wouldn't have done. She found this other friend called Sarah and they used to take my stuff and generally make me look like an idiot. I had to take it because i had no other friends. Eventually I snapped and stopped talking to them, then they would call me a loner and make snide comments if i passed them in the corridor.

But hey I eventually found my current best friends- couldn't regain the confidence though.

every school has a bully. me i was bullied at school too, back in highschool but i dont care with them, i fought with them. it's not their school, it's everybodies school. I don't know about Highschool in the US. but back home if somebody bullied me, they would wished they didnt push me to my limits. im not bragging about me being one of the known and active student in school coz even the popular ones are being bullied too, we just dont know it. sometimes people has to know where they are and where their limits. its not good to under-estimate somebody. that is why i was always the deffender of my friends in highschool. I dont beat someone. i dont harras them. i only tell them what they are. just being frank to them. make them realize every single thing they do. by the way i know its different in every countries but bullies, they should stop.
