Bullying is a bad thing that no one should ever experience or do to someone. It’s rude, brutal, and hurts a lot of people’s feelings. I (Julia) asked a friend of mine, Brianne, a few questions on bullying and here were her responses.
I first asked her how bullying has made her life different. She replied “It made my life different because I’ve gotten so much hate to the point it doesn’t bother me if someone calls me something because I know that all these people that hate is just going to push me to do better in life. It doesn’t matter what other people think about you all that matters is God’s opinion no one elses. Its also made me look at things differently as in the things I say could affect people.” Then I asked her how she feels about bullying. She replied “It makes me mad. It hurts people so much I’d rather take all the hate/getting bullied in the world than to see people suffer.” Then I finally asked her if she ever wanted to cut herself. She said yes. But when I asked her if she cuts herself she said no.
After asking Brianne these questions it made me realize how much bullying affects everyone’s lives. No one wants to go to school one day and be called retarded, or other names because it could really mean something. Maybe they have family who is mentally ill. Or with a disease, it just really gets to them and I consider that bullying. Even if its over the internet, never do it. Cyberbullying is even worse. You’re saying all this hateful stuff that all comes from behind a computer screen, iPhone, or any other electrical device. Writing notes are hurtful too. You never know how one little thing hurts someone. They remember it forever, trust me. I get really upset when people tell my friend Brianne on this site called ask.fm to kill herself, she’s worthless, and to go die. No one wants her. I love Brianne and if anyone made her take her life because she gave up on all the bullying, they deserve something in return. Shes 14 and still has a long life ahead of her. I would cry every day if she killed herself because of some stupid girls who don’t know how they are making her feel.
Another girl another day of hurt. When I asked her this she said she didn't care if I used her name so their names are Paige and Dawn. I asked the same thing but got something different from both. I’m best friends with Paige and she’s been through a lot and here are some things that may have made her crack. Or at least I think it may have so here goes. This isn’t really a lot about her really but what happens to someone everyday and they don't wanna tell that it happens this girl I know I don't think she wants people to know who she is so lets say her name is Frankie now she is a good girl But she picks bad people to love and im sorry for her but this is the story that changed the way i look at people. she was walking down the halls of the school like a normal girl and there goes the guy she liked now this guy is really popular and she’s really not,but i don't think that really stopped her anyway though because if anything, that made her like him more. Now this boy doesn’t care about her all he wanted was sex and pics and she gave it to him. She still tries to make it work with him but it won’t and she knows it, but she won’t lose that little hope that she as for him and it just tears me apart.
There’s another girl I know and she deals with bullying in a different way. Its Paige, she cuts herself or she did anyway and it tore at my heart when i saw the cuts. It just proves to me how much she can really change, but the thing is she needed help and she knew it, but I had to get the help for her because she was afraid. Now she cuts for many reasons, now she does it because shes bored, but before, she did it because she had too much stress and she had no one to turn to so she turned to cutting and I asked her are you sad that you had to restore to cutting she said no but she’s sad that it was too much to handle that she had to cut. Now i have many friends and they deal with stress in different ways and here are just a few.
Another girl another story. That’s what you’re thinking right? Well you’re wrong, this time its me. This time it’s what I think of bullying and how I deal with bullying and I may not be truthful with you the whole time through so keep that in mind. I’ve bullied, and I’ve been bullied, but hey who here hasn’t? When I bullied it was in 3rd grade and I was going through alot so I thought that if I make people feel my pain that I would be better. I was wrong. Making people feel bad felt so wrong but at the same its felt so right. Like in 3rd grade I broke this kids pinky. I don't even know why. Now i would get really mad at my teachers and scream at them. 4th grade I was just mean I would just hurt people for no reason. I would call names, I would hit, I would do anything I wanted. In 5th grade I was still a bully but not so much. I still hurt people and I still yelled but I got better hold of it. In 6th grade I didn’t bully really. In 7th grade I like didn’t bully at all and I think thats when it happened, that’s when I became aware that not everyone was there for me. I learned quickly that you had to teach yourself, but also I learned that no mess up goes unseen. Now this summer was my breaking point. I lost my friends over a boy and then I got them back and then I would lose them and right now we’re all friends but the thing is that no matter what they say now, I will always know what they said to me early in the year so i don't forgive them. I don't forget as much as I used to. Now what I’m about to tell you, but I have cut myself before because no matter how much I was crying out for help, I was still holding it in. I guess all the bullying from my “friends” and the stress over everything I was going through, I guess I had to go to cutting for help because no one else wanted to help me. I’m not mad that I had to cut, I’m mad that I let myself go this far without letting someone know. I held it in but now I don't know, but yes I am sorry and I am glad that now I have friends... real friends that are there for me. But truth be told I still think about in fact I have the words replay in my head
“no one likes you”
“no one would care if you died”
“ Go drink bleach”
this is the truth and I get help and so does other people but a few words you have heard many time before from adult is coming from a kid and that would be that DON'T BULLY no matter how cool it may seem you will never how it can that person so just plz take it from the stories that you're reading don't do this. DON'T BULLY.





Honestly, I (Julia) have a very similar yet different point of view on bullying. I think it should be a hate crime. You don’t just bully someone because you want to make yourself feel better, or if you’re having a bad day. Whenever you say something to someone, even as a joke, you don’t know how long they will remember it. It sticks with them forever, trust me. A friend of mine named Makala started cutting herself only 4 cuts though, but it really upset me. She was dealing with a boyfriend at the time , and bunches of drama with her friends. I thought I could help her when she only had 3, but I couldn’t. She came to school the next day with 4. She had to get help, and if she didn’t, she would get addicted. When you cut yourself, you could get your arm infected which is disgusting. I talked to her ex boyfriend and he said that none of it was his fault, which is false because he is more than half the reason she had all this stress. Her friend, Paige, also cuts herself. At this time, they both needed help. I tried to make Makala realize it, and she finally did. Her and paige went to the office and now every thursday they go to a counselor person. It all made me realize never to bully, and not let people bully you. If someone bullies you, go get help. Don’t let it get to you. Tell them to stop, anything. But never self harm because they aren't worth pain to yourself.
