Wanted Pirate
Today I had an assembly today about internet safety, and it talked about cyberbullying. I would like to stop this problem, so feel free to talk to me about your problems, to get some weight off of your shoulders. I will get back to this later.

That is a matter which really does concern most of today's societies.

It is an undeniable fact that everyone of us have been bullied at some point or another. Thus, one cannot simple answer "Yes", or "No". First of all, there are many forms of bullying. Physical, verbal, ***ual and as previously mentioned before, cyberbullying are being the most common we face in our daily lives. So many victims, yet so many bullies. But what makes a person to abuse another? The impartiality. Believe it or not, nobody is born being bully. It is the way they grow and make their living that plays decisive role in being a bully. If they had been abused in the past, or if they ever wanted more attention than they already had, are things that make them acting like that. If you are found to be abused by someone, do not let this overtake yourself. DO SPEAK UP! Whether that being talking with your parents, or your teacher if the matter's inside your school environment. Letting people acting like this on you, could lead you to very dangerous situations, such as creating you psychological problems or even suicide. Do not let the victims become bullies. Understand what is the case. Try to figure out why the specific person is acting like that, but never let this to change your personality. Bullies are the ones that need real help, do not let them harm more and more of the people surrounding you.

"Not everyone has been a bully or the victim of bullies, but everyone has seen bullying, and seeing it, has responded to it by joining in or objecting, by laughing or keeping silent, by feeling disgusted or feeling interested!"

So, in order to give an answer to your question... Yes, I have been bullied.
 
I'm more of that person who tries to blend in, but I stand out. I ignore all the tings that people say to me, and I forget and forgive everyone who has changed. I'm not just a face in the crowd. I'm a dreamer, and although the majority of people in my class seems dissapointed when they have me as a partner, it's just because I'm not popular. I don't want to be popular, and I don't like to have all eyes on me. I can never go up onto a stage alone. every single time I see someone being bullied in any way possible, I don't know how to intervene, and I'm scared to. The only types of bullying that I've seen is cyber bullying on Youtube comments, and the person who was being bullied was strong, or they had someone to team up with them and protect them, and I am proud of them, and I wish I knew how to intervene with a few problems at my school, and I'm happy to not have a phone, therefore nobody can cyber bully me through texts, and although there are a few apps I would like to have that are only for a phone, I'm not taking any chances at being cyber bullied, and even on Minecraft servers, I tend to only see my friends that I know from school, but very little times, I 'meet' someone on Minecraft who is friendly to me. I usually don't use the chat, because I'm so focused on building. I don't play truth or dare with my friends, even if they pressure me to, I still refuse, because I have a right to keep my secrets, and have control of my actions. I wish that we could treat everyone fairly, and not have 'wars' and 'go against' each other in 'battles'. Not many people know who I am, and countless times when I have to have my name written down by someone else, I'm asked what my name is, because not many people have come up to me, asking my name just randomly, wanting be friends. I'm usually the person who does that instead. I may seem Goth in my school, because I wear all the dark clothing that I can, and I tend to listen to rock music, and I really like scary things, but on the inside, I'm asking myself: 'Why do I wear dark clothing all the time?' I have guessed I just like how it looks, but I keep on getting strange looks from everyone, and I keep on being confused why. Is it because almost nobody knows me just because I'm not tremendously popular, or is it because I'm mostly a Tomboy, Goth, and Emo? I have realized that I am Goth, and I have become one by accident, and I am perfectly happy, it's just my style, and although I seem to be a bit expressionless, I'm trying to keep my anger at level. Not that I have anger issues, I'm just angry at myself, because I'm unhappy from the impression of what my past has said to other people: until I was 7 or 8, I was a huge crybaby, about even just a tiny paper cut, now, I hardly cry, and I once hit my head on the side of the pool when I was 6 at summer camp, and I was crying, and I was taken to the hospital for no reason, just barbecue I was crying, and now I'm mostly known in camp as 'The girl who cracked her head open' or 'the girl who dived into the 3 feet end' when only what I did, was I wasn't looking where I was going, and everyone who has done the backstroke knows you can't exactly look where you're going, and I just bumped my head. I was a crybaby, and I'm now ashamed, and I just simply want to stop being known as 'The girl who cracked her head open' and 'the girl who dived into the 3 feet end', and I'm so tired of being known as that to people who don't know me, and although I haven't been called that many times, I'm still tired of being embarrassed in front of my friends, who are ignorant to the subject. Oh my goodness, I just realized how long this was XD sorry I got lost in typing. Oh, and now you know a lot more about me, and I've mostly gotten over my past, so no need to comfort me or anything, I don't hurt myself or anything. I sort of just everytime I think about I want to face palm myself and shout at myself, 'WHY DID I DO THAT?!?'

  1. Drawing from other people's own experiences, being "popular" is over-rated and why the heck would anyone want that kind of added pressure anyways. *It's good to know that you have a decent understanding of this and that also...you are willing to accept yourself mainly for whom you are (as you don't feel the need to pretend otherwise). That - my friend - is your strength and it will never forsake you during a time when you most need it. :)
  2. I'm not saying you should place yourself in the middle of a bullying situation which involves other people but...the next time you see someone being bullied imagine for a moment that the person being bullied was someone you truly cared about (or someone whom you truly do know). *IF you view the victim of the bullying in this matter, you're more willing to be helpful and supportive of them during a moment in time of need to which they will "never" forget.
  3. Understand that the majority of PEOPLE you meet when you're young will most likely not be around through the various (other) stages of your life. With that said, cherish the one or two relationships you might have with others as those are the type of relationships that truly matter when you're much older.
Thank you for sharing your story. ;)

I was really wondering what everyone will react to what most of my closest friends have probably forgotten about. Anyways, I agree that being popular is overrated, but sometimes I feel popular, but by whispering that I'm unusual. I'm PROUD OF BEING UNUSUAL. NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN RELATE TO MY GROUP OF FRIENDS (Who are nicknamed 'The Creepy Crazy Crew or CCC, for later references) but we can relate to each other and we can understand each other like you can't imagine, and we forgive each other frequently, and that's all that matters. The funny thing is, the rest of CCC is much more colorful than I- Meow: Purple, blue ect. but wears a black hoodie, Maddie: considers herself a 'girly-girl, and loves pink Cat: wears a lot of white and light blue Annu: wears many different colors Annie: SUPER COLORFUL Trin: SUPER COLORFUL While I'm basically wearing all black with the occasional blue, green, red, ect. So, I stand out wherever I go, even in my room, in which the only thing that contrasts my clothing, is a back fake rose on my desk and a few random pictures of some of my favorite character from books on the front of my door. I mean, I now hate pink, but my walls are a light pink, I have a MLP calendar, yeah, I used to be one of the most color crazy people in my neighborhood. Oh, and by the way, *hands you, ReillyLv50PEACE Keepers, Sparky Wonderwolf, and Mark Scurvyfox some chocolate* you guys deserve this.

I've never been bullied, I'm big so that might have to do with it but if I see anyone bullying another person no matter if its my best friend, ill stop that person.
 
bullying was the worst in elementary and middle school. luckily, i didn't get any of it for high school, which i odd because i think i was at my largest then.

college was a good time. but the bullying/harassment/persecution change. it was mostly attacks or accusations based on what you believe in.
with that; i adapted the mindset that you have to talk to the person with love and understanding in heart first. whether you truly love them or respect them because they're a fellow human being.

yes, you can stand firm to your own beliefs but approach the other passively. allow them to share what they think from a non-defensive stance. if you feel you blood burning start to back down a lil. and recognize that this person acts/think/has arrived to life at this moment do to something or a series of somethings (either good or bad). and with the last, you can gain a mutual understanding that they are just like you. but residing on the other just of the coin.
