Re: Embarrassing moments that haunt you years later...stories of bullying-related public humiliation
(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 01:32 am (UTC)(link)Do you know what became of those girls? I hope they're in jail. That behavior isn't just bullying, it's attempted murder. (I mean, when I say that I don't mean I hope they actually did kill anyone, just... I hope they're not able to hurt anyone now. Or have since received counseling.)
Re: Embarrassing moments that haunt you years later...stories of bullying-related public humiliation
(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 01:45 am (UTC)(link)I don't know what happened to them. I hope they're better people than they were when they knew me, that's all I can say.
The school I went to was really awful about dealing with the incidents. I had a boy who threatened to rape and murder me every day and the counselor just said, "Oh, he's being a boy. Just ignore it. He probably has a crush on you." Meanwhile, I was terrified to be alone at night and went to sleep in fear until my family moved houses two years after graduation. I'm over that, too, because there was no way that kid knew where I lived, but at the time it was a real terrifying experience.
I think what made it worse was my dad asking me what I did to make these kids bully me. I existed, I was(still am) really short, very thin and have issues with age-appropriate behavior due to a neurodivergence. I looked younger than my actual age(still do) and couldn't fit into age appropriate clothing. I always looked like a grade-schooler. I was a literal magnet for shit in school no matter what I did to avoid it. But my dad made me believe I deserved it because I was made wrong.
I've recently found my self-worth and I'm working through all those scars. I'm a much different person than I was back then, and today I reach out to teenagers who are being bullied today. I talked a thirteen year old girl out of bullying-related suicide on Tumblr once. THIRTEEN!! I was sixteen when I tried it. I convinced her to seek help and she later thanked me.
Everything happens for a reason and my faith in God tells me He insisted I stay on Earth because I'm meant to help people going through what I went through.
Bullying is worse because of the internet. My bullying ended at mom's car door. Today, it continues into the home and it's not right. Something needs to be done about it. I just try to inject positivity where I can and hope that little crumb helps someone hold on.

(Anonymous) 2015-03-11 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)"Just ignore it, he probably has a crush on you" is obnoxious when it's said about a boy who is pulling your hair or stealing your pencil because you chewed on it. "Just ignore it, he probably has a crush on you" in response to rape and murder threats? These people need to be stuck in the pillory for the populace to pelt with rotten vegetables and dog shit, with placards around their necks saying what they did, and then banned from ever being around children for the rest of their natural lives.
