Bullying: My Story
When I was younger I had this really big problem with this girl with whom I was hanging round.
She used to make me do everything for her. For example, she made me get involved in her arguments and she used to make me be nasty to my friends.
She stated that if I didn't do what she wanted then she would hit me. Eventually I told her that I wasn't going to do it any more. She replied that she was no longer my friend. I let her know that I was fine with this arrangement.
The next day she came over to speak with me. She said that she was sorry for causing trouble between me and my friends and then she went and told all my friends that it was her fault. We were all OK in the end.
So my advice is to stick up for yourself but don't cause trouble. Please comment if you have had a similar problem or need to sort out a problem close to this.

I think this is a gret story, and it is true you do have to stand up for yourself, i had some bullying problems myself and i had to over come them the harder way in life, i let the past go and i even had one of the girls who picked on me all through school appoligise to me via facebook. I told her i accept but i wouldnt change anything because it's made me stronger and who i am today.
Well done again :)

when i was being bulled this boy would not leave me alone just carried on and on but i just went mad on him he used to hit me and i let him but i was just fed up i tried every thing ignoreing him everything but he would just not go s o i did my fair share of damage to him and then he left me alone. so just stay strong because u are not alone there are people who are there to help u .
