Kids Who are Bullied

 

There are many other kids like you that face bullying everyday. Kids from all across Canada have told us about their experiences with bullying. Here are some of their comments:

•	My brother sometimes likes to get together with his friends and pick on me and I can’t fight back. I wish I could get him back, but mostly I just wish he’d STOP.
•	I felt really sad and I didn’t know what to do when I was left out of a group. I think it was because I wasn’t cool enough.
•	My brother’s friend keeps beating me up. I’m scared and I can’t get away from him. I wish he would stop hurting me.
•	I have people in my class who leave me out, even though I would like to be friends with them. I would like someone to stand up for me, or I wish I had the courage to say what I feel.
•	A boy threatened my friend and tried to force her to do something she didn’t want to do. She got so frightened she talked to an older student about it.
•	My friend had a party and invited everyone but me. I felt bad and I thought she didn’t want to be my friend anymore.
•	A girl at school is constantly being made fun of and excluded. The group pretends to be friends and they make her do tricks. Then they laugh at her and imitate her behind her back.
•	My friend is always being teased because she is overweight. She is called names like “oinker” and “fatty”. I wish I could help her.
•	I am teased for being very smart. I hope someone of higher authority will give a warning to the person who is mean.
•	My friend decided to be friends with the popular girl. She made fun of me because I wouldn’t swear and told lies about me to my friends.
•	I felt like not coming to school because the teasing was so horrible. I felt really bad like I was rotting inside and I couldn’t do anything about it.
