People have been telling me, that there was nothing wrong with me. I started to believe them. From 4th - 12th grade, I was verbally bullied and I hated every bit of it. My classmates thought it was funny to call me fat, ugly, bad words, and many just have hatred words to say. However, I tried everyday, every single hour. I tried to be invisible. However, it never worked. When I was in gym, they would make fun of me doing the exercises that we were supposed to do. When I was in the classroom, they would make fun of me sitting in the desk. Saying that I wouldn't be able to fit. I hated every bit of it.
I tried to make friends with them, however that didn't work. It made it even more worse. I had crushes on guys. However they didn't see me like that. I was even being bullied by them. Which is the worse feeling. That is why I never dated, or gone out with a group of friends. I had trouble even going to a dance (middle school and high school). Let me take that back, (sorry)! I did go out with one guy and went to my junior prom. We only for at least 2 weeks. For my senior prom, I went by my self. It was okay, I guess. I think I danced with 1 guy that whole night. The other times, I just sit by myself. Which is how it always was at the dances.
I have even been bullied in college and at some places where I had worked. It completely has been so bad, that i had wanted to crawl in a corner like a ball and just cry. And now I so many issues making friends and trusting them, that it's hard for me to explain why I am so quiet. I still have trouble getting it out of my mind. I think that someone who has been verbally bullied all those years, wouldn't end up with some mental issues. I believe that someone like that could end up with PTSD, Depression and Anxiety. I have maybe all 3. But I know I have 2 of the 3. IT STINKS, for someone that age to be going through that.
I have been out of school since 1996. An to this day, I still remember the people that caused most of the issues. I have forgiven them, however I have not forgotten who you are. I have trouble talking to them in passing, because I want them to wondering "Why isn't she talking to me?" or "Why is she ignoring me?" And I just some times walk away. And let them figure it out.
Please talk to your School age kids about bullying. I hate to even see, kids now days who are killing themselves because someone is bullying them. It breaks my heart. I wish I could, do something about it. However, I am only one person in a great big world.
