So I've Been Thinking ((Emotional Abuse))

[CheezDoodle]

I've been thinking about this. You know how badly some kids are treated by other kids at school? Like, being made to feel like crap, like they're total idiots, like they'll never be good enough, etc. (All of which has happened to me)?

Well, I bet if a parent did that to a kid, the kid would get taken away and the parent would do jail time.

Also, the physical abuse. All those kids get is a suspension usally. It's not fair.

Last year, I came home crying my eyes out at LEAST once a week because of other kids. I was also hit upside the head with a really heavy wooden sandal for no reason what so ever. I had no idea what I did to that girl. I didn't even know her! And you know what? She ran over to the coach and said I called her a *itch. Yeah, I didn't say that. So the coach didn't believe that she hit me (obvious bump about an hour later though..) and I got 2 conduct cuts.

Also, a friend of mine was punched in the stomach so hard that he threw up. You know who got in trouble? Him. Because the guy who punched him said he was 'provoked'. And all my friend told him was a 'yo mama' joke, which was meant to be taken as a joke! And still, even if he had meant it seriously, it's still not an excuse to be physically beaten!

Discuss.

all I have to say is that kids are plain mean these days. it's almost like they HAVE to be mean, when they don't.
and I'm so sorry what happened to you.

I'm so sorry that happened :[
That is so retarted.
I have come home crying from emotional abuse from other kids, but never physical abuse.
ugh, some people are just retarted.

I agree with you.
In 5th grade I was friends with a girl who was on the student council with me and when 6th grade came I would talk to her online and out of NOWHERE she would call me names.

It started to get to the where it was emotional abuse and I broke down and cried one day over something she said.

My mom called her mom and told her everything that had happened and that girl had to get on the phone with me and apologize in tears.

It was awful. She would be nice one minute and mean the next.

But when 7th grade came,her and I went to the same party and everything was fine.

Words hurt more then physical pain IMO.

& I am so sorry that happened to you. Kids can be SO cruel.

I have seen this one too many times. One of my best friends was emotionally abused by her parents, but her parents put on such a good show that once she actually called the police, they got there, almost took her into foster care, but weren't sure enough of what was going on to do it.

I had a horrible time with friends in grade 6 and 7. I did cry all the time, I felt so awful. For better words, really truly felt depressed.
But as for just random people, I haven't had an experience with that.

that is why I go to Private school!

I hate public school, they don't care and just turn their heads at anything that can get them sued.

 

[keypooh90]

I'm sorry for what your friends have done to you. I have been lucky to have been treated well by my friends.

 

[BabyPiglet]

I've never been actually emotionally abused but around...6th grade I basically forced myself to think I was.

Like, people would whisper, and I'd swear they were talking about me.

It was a really bad situation for myself.

 

[meeshheartsdisney217]

in fifth grade.

these two kids called me a whale and all these other mean terms about me and how i looked

finally one day i cracked. and started sobbing in the middle of class.

which kind of made them apologize. which was also total bull.

and now one of them is my friend, and the other one is really annoying.

That stinks, it would make me cry too. But I'm glad you made friends with one of them!

 

[RaggedyAnnPrincess]

Im really sorry that a lot of you have had very bad expriences.Im right there with ya.I was bullied by someone that everybody liked,everybody thought she was so cool, ans so awesome.She ended up stealing my friends, and my self-esteem went way down! One time, I accidently walked into this girl ( she was also kind of a bully ) and she shoved me down, and my braclet got caught on her skirt and I tried pulling it off, and everybody started going " eww " and stuff like that, and I was only trying to get my bracelet back!
And then the bully girl said stuff like " Well, you don't have to blame us for what happened! " and made me feel like crud! Man, I came home crying a lot that year! And later I found out she bullied me because I was a crybaby ( I really was ) and she thought I was really annoying.My friend told me this ( she was basically the bully girl's best friend ) Im just so glad that I am away from that prison of a school!! And if I could somehow find the bully, I would, and I would tell her off! She really just brings the worst out in me!

Same with me.
It was i 6th grade for me too.

I think middle school is socially harder than high school in some cases.

you're absolutely right. Middleschool is horrible. Its an awful system and it just doesn't work. Sixthgraders are too immature (emotionally) to be grouped with eight graders who are too mature (emotionally and sometimes physically and mentally) to be with seventh graders. Its an awful awkward age for all of them, and it would be better if we went back to a junior high system. (six and seventh in elementary school. 8-9 in junior high, 10-12 in highschool)

i go to a private christian school and we have people like that who are mean i know
ok in fith grade i was best friends with a girl who ent to a different school and really close to the new girl in my class this year my best friend transfered to my shcool
the new girl from last year turned on me and stole my best friend and all my other friends i was left a social outcast i had no friends and when i told my paernts they told me to suck it up it wasn't a big deal
then the mean girl started spreading rumors at me and calling me really bad names and made everyone think i was a terrible person
the last month of school i found i girl in my grade who just went through the same thing
so we are now friends
but the worst thing my parents are trying to force me to be friends with the mean girl
my parents try to make me their trophy child
you know they want me to be the most popular girl who gets all the guys on because here parents are judged by how popular their kids are
so my parents are so mad at me
i still go through the harshness of the kids but i have someone there for me now
i try to let the harsh words slide by me now it helps a lot when you don't let it get to you
so yeah i'm with a lot of you when it comes to bullies at school i know what it feels like
so i would say just don't let it get you, follow your dreams, and be frieands with who you want to be friends with even if hey are a social outcast

so here's to all of you who go through bullies

 

[Skelington Spade]

It's a good thing I'm not in Public school, if anyone hit me with a sandell and I got in trouble, yeah I think they'd be dead the next day.

I hated Jr. High.
I wouldn't call it emotional abuse.
I know my friend have called me a ***** before but it makes me even happier knowing that I'm just one more person who has something better to do with their life then sit around calling someone a ***** because they spoke their opinion.
Some people at my school are afraid of me. I'm a scary person. [I think]
If someone does something to me on pupose to make them mad I stare at them without blinking until they turn away and every time that has happened they never do it again.
I have no problem with people calling me names or anything. If they say it to my face I always tell them. "Oh did you just find that out" or I'll start laughing and say. "Well heck I already knew I was that"

But one year my friends got together and made this girl think something just so she would get mad. I'll admit she was mean but she never deserved what they did to her. Then when she tried to talk to them.

They all got in a group and when she came near they just all looked at her and started laughing. The girl told them to stop being immature and acting like a ***** [Mind you this was in 6th grade] They almost got into a physical fight. And stupid me just stood across the play ground and watched and never did anything. I was too mad at my friends. I was stupid for not telling a teacher. But now that girl has moved away and I can tell you she never talked to them again.

Then 2 of my friends when another girl I used to be friends with came over and just stood their while we were talking. She wasn't doing anything wrong and then my 2 friends turned around and told her she needed to leave because she wasn't in our group. Oh how I was mad at them. The girl left and I followed her and we went and talked while we were on the swings. :]
I didn't talk to them for the rest of the day. Although I was pretty sure they didn't like me at that time but I was really mad.

That's a blanket statement. You shouldn't say things like that, because you obviously don't know EVERY public school.

The school I go to is public, but we have a zero tolerance policy. If someone reports you for bullying, you have to go to a teacher conference and the administration decides if you'll be suspended or not.

Because of this, my school has very little bullying. Please don't make statements like that without information to support it.

And to the OP, I'm really sorry that happened to you.
