Were You Bullied In School?

<< < (2/6) > >>

Berit:
Oh yes, I was fat and I was bullied......for 9 years I was bullied.....but I never contemplated suicide - or, I sometimes thougth that "I'll kill myself and then thy will be sorry" but never seriously contemplated suicide. But there is still people I don't want to talk to, 40 years later......they took away my pride for myself, my self esteem (SP?) lots and lots of trust.....they hurt me deep down in my soul just because I was fat......

I'm still fat. I now know that this only mean that there is more of me you all can like  O0 :laugh: :laugh:

Yes, Berit, we love all of you!

Like Roland, I too was bullied for hanging out with the girls.  Also, for being more bookish than athletic.  Kids can be extremely cruel to one another.  It's particularly egregious when adults, teachers or priests, either join in or do nothing about the bullying. 

I wasn't suicidal, however.  I tended to react stoney-faced and was determined not to let it get to me.

I voted the same way, but I didn't contemplate suicide until after I graduated high school.

The bullying started for me in grade school, and was the typical name-calling and such.  When I got to Jr. High, it became physical.  I would get punched, shoved into walls, pushed up stairs, slapped around in study hall, and physically intimidated.

I got through high school, and thought I was free.  I started a new job, and unfortunately, a few of the jerks I went to school with got hired there as well, and that's when the abuse started at work.  Name calling again (in front of customers) and the basement and men's room were both filled with grafitti about me and various sex acts I was fond of (taking it up the ass).

Management wouldn't pay to have the rooms repaited as "it would only happen again".

::)

One day I had enough, and took a bottle of sleeping pills home.  I ended up flushing them down the toilet.
