Hi. I'm @fire_is_me from Wattpad and I've been bullied. It all started when I was in middle school (grade 5). I had not one bully, but many bullies and when I mean by many, it's horrendously a huge population.

All my bullies were either my age or senior than me by 2 to 4 years above. Girls give me thee verbal vibes whereas the guys (only a few of them though) gave me the physical ones. I also had my mouth bleed because one of the bullies punched me right on my lips, making it get a blister with blood flowing profusely.

I'm now currently in grade 10 (sophomore). I gave a tremendous fight (even though I can slip a tear or two to my only best friend). I was close to self harm, suicide but one thing stopped me.

It was the words of my wise sister.

"You don't deserve this. They don't deserve their pleasure in finding out that you lost. Don't do this to yourself. Be strong."

And that's when I ended the war with my best friend. Now, life's good (with just a few bullying from class/seniors), better than before and I'm really happy to know that there's nothing wrong with me but with them.

What type of bullying did you experience (cyberbullying, teasing, name calling, physical altercations, etc.)?

I received teases, name callings, physical altercations, mostly making my self esteem crash down.

Who bullied you (please be vague by using terms such as old friend, classmate, neighbor, etc.)?

My bus mates, classmates, the whole girl's section bullied me.

How did you feel while you were being bullied?

I felt useless when I was bullied.

How did you feel after being bullied?

I felt numb after being bullied, but now I just shrug it off or show them the finger.

Have you told anyone you know that you were bullied?

I've told my family and my best friend that I'm being bullied.

Why/why not?

They were the most caring and the most supportive people I've ever known.

How long were you bullied for?

I was (still am but it's just an occasional "you suck" or "you're a sl*t" but not as worse than before, with emotionally putting me down or playing/toying with me) bullied for 5 years.

Are you still being bullied?

Yes, 5 years. But, I fought hard and now I'm in peace.
