Hang in there, stay strong and always remember you have people here who love talking to you and hearing your opinions, people who are the telltale community and are always here for you
Well, thank-you so much for that. It's made my day! Returns virtual hug. Having divorced parents can't be fun though, even with how fucked up my family is, my parents are still together (barely).
I was never really bullied as a kid. I mean, there was this one inbred kid who probably thought he was bullying me back in Kindergarden but we generally ignored him. I actually sent sent to the office once for "bullying" back in Kindergarden.
There was this kid on the playground swinging and I got the swing beside him. We talked for a couple of minutes and I got bored and jumped off. I said "See ya later, dude." I took a couple of steps and my teacher started hollering at me....turns out that "dude" was a girl. She was chubby and had short hair. I honestly thought she was a boy. Anyway, my teacher jumped on to me and told me go apologize to her and told me the kid was a girl....
I didn't believe her and replied "But he's a boy!?!?" Mrs. Cook didn't take to kind to that, and I wound up getting suspended for a week for bullying.
Thank-you again, I've only been on here a month and I do get the sense that this is a really great community of people who are willing to support and listen to each other, which I think is lovely Also, CORGI!!

Some of us here are also outcast and misfits. Try and find solitude in the fact that you are never alone with your problems. There are other people who are also dealing with the same situation or worst situation. We are all born into this life with challenges. Some less or worst than others. But you can win your challenge. Stay strong, keep breathing, one day you will have your opportunity for a better life. Seize it when that day comes.
My parents are both very damaged people, they were abused when they were kids and have unresolved anger issues. When we were little they use… mored to take it out on me and my brother (but mostly me because I was older). They'd hit me, grab my arms and shake me (their grip was so strong I was always surprised my arms didn't break), throw me to the floor and scream horrible things at me. When you're a kid your parents are your whole world, and when they tell you that you're stupid, worthless, hateful, hideous and they wish you'd never been born, it stays with you and you take it personally no matter what actually made them angry in the first place. In primary school I was also bullied by people who I firmly believed were my friends; they took advantage of my low self-esteem and desire to be accepted and made my school life miserable.

I wasn't going to post this when I first saw this thread, then I read through what people were writing about and nobody seemed to be writing about what I was going through so that's why I decided to post it. I'm not trying to imply that my problems are worse than those of other people, if that's how it came across, like you say everyone has shit to deal with and what really matters is how you deal with the hand you're dealt. I'd like to think that once I get old enough to move out I can just cut off all contact with my family and pretend they don't exist, and that hopefully by doing that I'll be able to emerge from this a stronger person and be able to let go of this stuff and move on. At the moment however, I'm stuck in a place I don't want to be and can't escape from and I know that every day I stay in this house with them it's poisoning my mind. I'm usually a cheerful and optimistic person, but recently I've lost a lot of the hope I had that I could somehow benefit from this and be the best version of myself that I can be.

Thank-you for your advice I know that's what I should aim to do whenever I feel low but it can get really tough to think rationally sometimes when things are really bad.

None taken. If you ever feel low, find a calm place where you can relax and get things straight. Try and distract yourself from the bad by focusing on some positive stuff such as drinking something sweet, eat something nice, listen to some music or something positive. Just get your attention away from the bad, it will only overwhelm you if you focus on it.

If it helps, life gets a lot better once you get out of high school, make enough to get your own place, and can choose the people you want to hang out with. For now, try to smile at people who aren't mean to you. Maybe they'll smile back sometimes, and that helps more than you'd think. It's not faking being happy. It actually does help you feel better.
Also, do your best to get those grades up, at least good enough to graduate, which will make move-out day a lot easier when the time comes.

Wow, horrible that they would do that. If there's one thing that is clearly wrong, it's forcing someone into something you like. I'm glad that you took that bad experience and used it to make you wiser. That's the best thing anyone can do.
Bullying can seriously damage people, I was bullied only mentally in primary school but it still bugs me... my only guilt was being normal. … moreAnd by normal I mean I didn't drink or smoke and my grades were good. My "friends" got drunk every week and were smoking at the age of 13 which I found really stupid (and I still do). So my 2 "best friends" turned on me and after that the whole class started to either ignore me or picking on me, I became an outcast for no good reason. It's been 10 years but I still remember how miserable I felt and I don't really know why they did that. I've never wronged anyone in my life. No matter what you do you can become a victim of bullying any time. I try to convince myself that it was a life-lesson, and I should learn from it. I choose my friends more wisely and i only trust a handful of people.
I was bullied by volunteer moderator. Here, on forum. Before I noticed I couldn't do anything. I felt weak and defenseless... My brother and sister lost their accounts. Luckily, I was banned for one week. After few days I've noticed - my ban was extended for a MONTH. That was CRUEL! I'm back now but these scars won't heal fast. I admit, I'm scared of this man.
As fucked up as it is seeing these traits in yourself it good that your aware of the changes because denial can be the most damaging thing in these circumstances. Try and keep strong you must be very stong to have gone through that and my heart goes out to you. Try not to lash out at others because of your inner turmoil, I know how hard that can be first hand. Remember school and grades are only things you have to deal with for a short time trust me even though school is horrible and its harder and harder to face each passing day it is only a short section of your life and when its over youll never see most of them again and you'll look back and wish you hadnt let it bother you that much and effect your grades. When your done with school you can move on and have your own life things will get brighter for you

I can't say I've been bullied much. The worst that I ever got was when I was much younger. I was one of four native English speakers in my class, and the only other one I ever met spoke fluent Spanish. I was constantly ridiculed for this, and, since I'm a fucking giant compared to others my age, I developed a hare trigger which drove those assholes away, and which I still deal with to this day, although I've gotten very good at controlling myself these past couple years.
Wow, horrible that they would do that. If there's one thing that is clearly wrong, it's forcing someone into something you like. I'm glad that you took that bad experience and used it to make you wiser. That's the best thing anyone can do.
That's so horrible, I hope you're okay! Everyone deserves to be happy so don't you even think about that you don't. Try to focus on your future and don't hold back your negative feelings. If you feel like it cry or speak about your feelings with a good friend. And don't stop smiling, that actually helps you to recover

I've had 'best-friends' turn on me before so I know how awful that feels, and how it can damage your ability to trust other people later on. That really is horrible to be outcast also, and I know it may be kind of late but if it's any small consolation - the kids who bullied you were probably feeling as bad then as you did/still do as a result of their bullying, and that's why they felt driven to put you down, it was their way of dealing with whatever it was they were upset by. You probably felt tempted to do similar things afterward, but you didn't, you dealt with it in a better way, and that makes you a better person.

Yeah, I felt so betrayed, it's one of the worst feelings. I'd never wish wrong to someone who doesn't deserve it, but back at that time I really wanted to get revenge on them somehow (like shaving their long hair xD ). But I just let it go, and told myself that life will punish them instead of me. I was "lucky" it happened at my last year of primary school so I could find new friends at highschool.

The worst that was for me was basically that I got teased around 2 times in my life nothing too hardcore(In Kindergarten), I'm not a sensitive person tho.There are a few girls in my school who get sexually assaulted, my friend did by this guy he tried to touch her ass.etc.He called her a slut for dating two guys at once, I didn't know if that was true because I'm not in her class, i was put in another.When that happens they tell the teachers and they only get them into "In-school-suspension".NOTE: just remember you are a unique person with your own special abilities and nobody can take that away from you.
I was bullied by my Gym teacher back in school years. He would throw rubber dodge balls at me every time I failed to participate. This went on for awhile. It was embarrassing because, everyone would laugh at me, and when I asked the Principal for help she just laughed too. Every day people would call me dodger because of the dodge balls being tossed at me. The only person who would support me is my friend Robert. He was a skinny guy for his age, but very strong and tough. He would pick people up and slam them on the ground every time someone messed with me. He did not care if you was male or female. Mess with me and you was in trouble. After that people started treating me with respect and called me the queen of King's Landing as I won Prom. Best night ever.

Eh.. I was bullied a lot when I was a kid but I wasn't really the kind to just receive it mope around or whatever, I have a really bad temper, well more like had, I mean I still do kinda but I show a lot more restraint now though then again I haven't been in a situation that tests my patience in quite a while, anyway I was really short, I looked pretty feminine (A lot of people actually thought I was a girl) and I was very quiet (In one school the teachers actually thought I was mute because I never said anything, I used gestures and writing instead of talking), in addition to that I moved a lot so I was in a new school more or less every year, so yeah I got a lot of it but I also had a pretty short temper and well once I hit a kid with a chair when he was making fun of me, I even carried a knife when I was around 12 and would threaten other kids with that, I guess I'm not really the kind of person you fuck with, I get really crazy, I eventually got a nervous attack in the middle of class in which I pretty much went nuts for a bit and hit some guy and I dropped out of school after that and finished it on my own that was when I was 17 I think I don't remember all that well because my parents never paid the debt they had with the school so I never got credited with those semesters so I had to start over when I did it on my own, anyway can say I hardly care.

I was constantly ridiculed for this, and, since I'm a fucking giant compared to others my age, I developed a hare trigger which drove those assholes away, and which I still deal with to this day, although I've gotten very good at controlling myself these past couple years.
I'm trying to do my best. I'm just glad it's over and now I have true friends.
That's so horrible, I hope you're okay! Everyone deserves to be happy so don't you even think about that you don't. Try to focus on your future and don't hold back your negative feelings. If you feel like it cry or speak about your feelings with a good friend. And don't stop smiling, that actually helps you to recover
I'm just looking forward to that day, and that even though it's sad that the best thing for me is probably to distance myself as far as possible from my only relatives, it's what keeps me going. Thank-you for your support, it is very much appreciated
I know I've said this to everyone, but let me start by saying thanks. You may not realise it but your comment touches me, and I honestly have tears in my eyes as I write this (sounds dumb, but it's true I'm afraid). I don't think I can express how it feels to hear that from a total stranger, it gives me back a little hope and I cannot thank you enough for that. At times I get to a point of thinking the worst of everyone, and it really isn't fair because there are some truly brilliant individuals out there, and to me you are one them. Okay, I'm going to stop now because even I'm rolling my eyes at myself now for being so cheesy.
Same goes for you, Sass. Just you showing your concern makes me feel so much better, just knowing that somebody cares. I hope my future is bright and after reading the responses here I have new-found resolve to try to make it the best that it can be. Oh, I'm crying believe me - but with happiness at how entirely uplifting the support I've been shown here is at this time. Thank-you, thank-you so much :')
I've had 'best-friends' turn on me before so I know how awful that feels, and how it can damage your ability to trust other people later on. That really is horrible to be outcast also, and I know it may be kind of late but if it's any small consolation - the kids who bullied you were probably feeling as bad then as you did/still do as a result of their bullying, and that's why they felt driven to put you down, it was their way of dealing with whatever it was they were upset by. You probably felt tempted to do similar things afterward, but you didn't, you dealt with it in a better way, and that makes you a better person.

This makes me happy too!
I also know anxiety and depression, so sometimes even a few kind words can brighten up my day. And you just made me smile 
I don't know you personally but I can feel that you're a very kind, funny and strong person at the same time, so keep it that way! 
Aw, c'mere you! Attack-hugs
Yeah, I felt so betrayed, it's one of the worst feelings. I'd never wish wrong to someone who doesn't deserve it, but back at that time I really wanted to get revenge on them somehow (like shaving their long hair xD ). But I just let it go, and told myself that life will punish them instead of me. I was "lucky" it happened at my last year of primary school so I could find new friends at highschool.
Thats awful! what a shitty teacher
I hate bullies with a passion and LOVE seeing them get their comeuppance
Karma is a bitch
It really is
The worst that was for me was basically that I got teased around 2 times in my life nothing too hardcore(In Kindergarten), I'm not a sensitive person tho.There are a few girls in my school who get sexually assaulted, my friend did by this guy he tried to touch her ass.etc.He called her a slut for dating two guys at once, I didn't know if that was true because I'm not in her class, i was put in another.When that happens they tell the teachers and they only get them into "In-school-suspension".NOTE: just remember you are a unique person with your own special abilities and nobody can take that away from you.
I was bullied by my Gym teacher back in school years. He would throw rubber dodge balls at me every time I failed to participate. This went on for awhile. It was embarrassing because, everyone would laugh at me, and when I asked the Principal for help she just laughed too. Every day people would call me dodger because of the dodge balls being tossed at me. The only person who would support me is my friend Robert. He was a skinny guy for his age, but very strong and tough. He would pick people up and slam them on the ground every time someone messed with me. He did not care if you was male or female. Mess with me and you was in trouble. After that people started treating me with respect and called me the queen of King's Landing as I won Prom. Best night ever.
That was emotional story. I pictured everything you said in your testimonial. Please cheer up.
Bullying will never stop unless we stop bullying bullies which makes them bully more.
Theres a quote I really love and it says
"Who do bullies hate the most? Themselves."
Eh.. I was bullied a lot when I was a kid but I wasn't really the kind to just receive it mope around or whatever, I have a really bad temper, well more like had, I mean I still do kinda but I show a lot more restraint now though then again I haven't been in a situation that tests my patience in quite a while, anyway I was really short, I looked pretty feminine (A lot of people actually thought I was a girl) and I was very quiet (In one school the teachers actually thought I was mute because I never said anything, I used gestures and writing instead of talking), in addition to that I moved a lot so I was in a new school more or less every year, so yeah I got a lot of it but I also had a pretty short temper and well once I hit a kid with a chair when he was making fun of me, I even carried a knife when I was around 12 and would threaten other kids with that, I guess I'm not really the kind of person you fuck with, I get really crazy, I eventually got a nervous attack in the middle of class in which I pretty much went nuts for a bit and hit some guy and I dropped out of school after that and finished it on my own that was when I was 17 I think I don't remember all that well because my parents never paid the debt they had with the school so I never got credited with those semesters so I had to start over when I did it on my own, anyway can say I hardly care.
