Bullying had always been a part of my life. It first started when I was in elementary school and it usually started with little things, such as the fact that I wore glasses or how many people thought I was weird for reading books and being a loner most of the time. Then, it followed me to middle school. People would look at me, point, and proceed to say rude things about me. People would make fun of my clothing and it affected the way I saw myself. Freshman year begins and I enter into my first serious relationship with a boy named Sam. This horrible relationship destroyed my life. I lost a couple of friendships but along with losing friends, my social status was affected negatively due to hearsay and aggressive accusations done deliberately …show more content…
I thought of all the ways I could go and it got to the point where my parents had to hide sharp objects from the kitchen from me. The suicidal thoughts got so worse that I told a teacher. I got help from a psychiatrist for a while and she diagnosed me with anxiety and a sleeping disorder of some sort. I had to take pills for a while. One day in class, I finally had had enough of the barbaric comments the boys had said so I began to cry in class. The teacher confronted me after class and I told her what the boys had been doing. She took me to another guidance counselor and so I told that guidance counselor what had been going on. Sadly, she had informed me that she could not do anything since it was the first time hearing of this so I told my parents I wanted to switch schools. My parents set up an interview with a private charter school and I was interviewed the next day. After the principal interviewed me, I was accepted into the school so I went back to my old high school to obtain my transcripts in order to be able to be transferred to my new school. During my time at the private school, my grades were getting better and my suicidal thoughts were vanishing. I made new friends and plus, I had reminisced with old people I had known before. I met Eve, a girl who is like a little sister to me, Chantrea, my best friend, and many more other people who made me feel like I belonged on this world. I was finally getting better
Bullying is such a difficult topic to grab a hold of. Children may experience bullying and not say it to their parents. Parents may suspect something wrong with their children but don’t know how to pro[per address the issue. I was bullied a lot. I remember being smashed against a locker in 7th grade. My brother was bullied during this middle school and high school years. Yet, my brother learned martial arts as a way to defense. However, I was more of an resorted in listening to music and keep all my emotions to myself. I learned over the years the power of speaking out and having a great support system.

The worst year of my life was in the seventh grade. It was a time of unforgettable and painful moments which took place throughout the school year. This taught me a significant lesson. The summer before seventh grade, my parents informed me that it would be beneficial to join a sport. When I did not find one that interested me, the color guard was counseled to me; which to be honest, I resented. My mother had a strict policy that once an activity is started it must be continued throughout the entire season; for this reason, I did. My color guard instructor was one of the most bounteous woman I knew. Moreover, she was an admirable and gracious woman who cared deeply about her students. When school started, I was a self-effacing, lonesome girl,
Are you a victim, a bystander, do you stand up? They’ve hurt you mentally, physically, and you’ve finally had enough of it. Either way, you can help. Bullying is something that is repetitive over time, and has to do with 2 people and one usually has the upper hand. Mostly, between a popular and unpopular kid. As a student in Jerling Junior High I was bullied and was known to be a bully. I was bullied for a whole year by my best friend. I was known to be a bully to my good friend. In the end, we all made up and went our own ways. I researched middle school bullying because it is a huge problem and I learned how different types of bullying happens in school, how some kids believe that harming themselves is a solution, and even how teachers get bullied, not just students.
You completely moved on from Karson, with the help from Kyle of course, and have became a strong woman. You did great and school and track; you had people looking up to you all the time. Some of the things you wanted to accomplish were getting into NTHS, and you did it! You kept good grades all year and never let them slip below a 80%. You were ahead on your work and turned mostly everything in on time. You learned how to better yourself by not letting people get to you as much as last year and that helped you stay focus on your school work.Looking back, I feel you needed to get rid of the negative people in your life a long time ago. You are a happier person than you were the end of junior year. You created a small friend circle that won’t talk bad about you, that won’t go behind your back and will always be there for you. A valuable lesson you learned from Deputy Bice and Mr. Greenwood was to push what people say off your shoulders. You were in their office a lot over the year when you needed to escape or needed someone to talk to. They helped you a lot by giving you advice on what to do (locking Karson on everything) and by always making you laugh when you were
These thoughts would overwhelm my brain daily. I told my parents about how I was feeling, what they said was “you have the choice to be happy or to mope”. This was the worst thing I could possibly hear. The summer before grade 12, I acted on my suicidal thoughts, leading me into the psychiatric ward for a couple weeks. Soon my parents got educated about what was going on, it was hard for them to understand but soon became extremely supportive. The beginning of grade 12 I had my second attempt, my final attempt happened the summer of 2016. During this time I would see psychiatrist, and I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. This diagnosis made me feel better in understanding why I feel the way I do and that I am not alone in this. I went through medication after medication until I found the right suit for me. I slowly but surely started feeling better. I began to go to a day hospital for mood disorders called STAT in February 2017 for five weeks, learning so much about myself and learning strategies to help me with my symptoms and learning to cope with them. I have become a strong person, fighting each battle as they come. I made it so far, and I am truly proud of myself for
Cyberbullying affects middle schoolers and middle school faculty which forces them to address the issue although some believe they should not. Counselors are sometimes confused on how to help the person who is being cyberbullied and the bully because it does not happen during school hours and it could violates the student's rights.

The next school day, I was brought into the principal’s office along with my parents and after in depth discussion I was told I could not attend that school anymore, that I was expelled. This was not only a shock to me, but my parents as well. I looked over and saw my mom crying and it made me start to tear up as well. I realized that I had let my family down, my friends down, and those who believed in me down. I wanted a change, and I knew I needed to get my anger under control and regain my
I was bullied a lot in middle school. Mostly because before the first day of fifth grade before school I told my parents I was nervous and they told me there was this nice boy named Will that would-be friends with me but I didn’t really know him. On the first day of school I went around asking literally everyone if they knew him and when I finally found him he thought I was weird that I was asking around to find him and he wouldn’t talk to me.
When I was young I had the good fortune of being popular. I went to a school that grouped students by intelligence, so that each class could run at the pace that was most appropriate for its students. I was lucky to be placed in the GT class because, it was the only class in the school where intelligence was not at trait to be avoided or hidden. The smartest kids were often the most well-liked and respected. Because of this I never understood the concept of the archetypical geek, portrayed on television depicted as harassed by others. I assumed that this was simply an obsolete role, and that the concept of a bully was simply a myth spoken of by adults that didn’t understand what school was like in the modern day.
This study presents findings that emphasize the need for effective implementation of policies and procedures to address cyberbullying in middle schools. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of middle school administrators about cyberbullying in a large urban school district in Texas. Although this data added to the limited research about cyberbullying in middle schools, impending studies should include high schools and possibly elementary schools. High school administrators could potentially provide a different viewpoint for each category included in this study. Also, future research should include staff and students providing their perception and completing a cyberbullying survey. It is also probable that different
Bullying is one of the worst things you can go through. It is where someone who is insecure, jealous, or going through something or whatever is happening and call people names or hit them or just be rude and cruel to them because they think it’s funny but it’s not. Or it’s just to make people feel bad or make them feel insecure about themselves or want to change themselves in any way possible to fit in which is really sad that you think that you should change yourself just to fit in you should embrace being yourself since being yourself and not caring what people think is the best thing you can do.
