Bullying….

I’ve been having a rough couple months at school.  I’m getting bullied.

But sometimes it’s hard to prove what is happening when it isn’t physical.  Bullying Canada says bullying can be keeping certain people out of a group, sarcasm, and name calling.  Things like that are called verbal and social bullying.

My mom and dad are in my corner and they are at the school a lot to try and stop it.   Back in Ontario, bullying at my school was dealt with in a snap. Here, I think not so much. I am desperate for more friends and wish that this had never started up in the first place.

It pains me to see this is a major problem here in my town. No one should have to go through this.  It doesn’t matter if you are a child or and adult. Bullying is a horrible thing. Some were so affected by it that, children and adults took their own lives because of it. Some famous anti bullying quotes include: “Imagine every child went to sleep, not fearing what the next day will bring“- Mark Feehily, “Like all bullies, their cowards underneath the swagger“- Robert Pattinson and ” Bullies will: Hate you, rate you, shake you and break you but, how strong you stand is what makes you”– Stay positive quote from Tumblr. I made my own quote ” No matter what they do to demolish your pride, dignity and spirit, stay strong and positive, no one can be able to take that from you” There are many ways to deal with bullying.  No matter what, never let anyone judge you for who and what you are. Just be yourself and be no one else. Places you can go for help

My mom is actually trying to figure out how to become a parent public speaker about bullying.  To talk to parents about the right way to deal with issues like this.  I would love to be able to go with her and talk to kids to about what to do.  It’s hard.  It would be nice to move back home to my old school.

Hope you like it and, if you went through something like this comment.   When we stand together, no one can bring us DOWN!

 

Disclaimer: My quote and the when we stand together, no one can bring us down is my words. It’s not plagiarism, I looked it up on Google.

Bullying

Bullying- Bullying is unacceptable especially toward kids.

Bullying is when a kid is either teasing, harming, or taunting another kid.  It makes the kid who is being taunted, harmed or teased feel really bad and don’t deserve to live.  And that’s not right. – my own definition.

At my old school I was not bullied.  The motto was  “be a buddy, not a bully”.  If there was bullying I don’t know about it.

Yesterday, I fell victim to verbal and physical bullying.  For a few weeks he has made faces at me.  Not in a good way.  He has glared at me for no reason whatsoever.  He told me to get away when I went to the swings.  He snatched MY phone from my hands and I had to say give it back at least 10 times. I did not stop till he gave it back to me.. He found out my locker code and blurted it aloud to the whole class.  It’s a word lock.  I would mix up the letters and go out for recess.  When I would come back it spelled my word combination.

Someone else spread rumours that were not true about me.  Saying I was spreading rumours about the boy.

I told my parents.  I told my principal and teacher.  They helped me.  They supported me.

Yes, it was dealt with.  The kid who was bullying me did apologize and I said it’s fine we’re good. But I know it could start up again and I need to be prepared!!  I’m actually nervous it might start up again.

I think I handled it well at the start because I stood up for my rights because I was being treated bad.  I did stand up for what I knew  was right and brought down the power that the bully thought he had.

I know that everywhere kids are committing suicide because of bullying.  I know that together we can stop bullying and help kids to not be a victim.  To stand up to those individuals who think they own the kids that they pick on. We are all the same, no one is different and no one can be perfect. We have to annihalte bullying so kids live their lives peacefully.

This is a good website to help kids know what bullying is and how to stop it.  http://bullyingcanada.ca/content/239900
