When I was 10 my first experience with bullying started. The things they said went very bad, but because of my anxiety, I really took in the things they would say and I wouldn't let those words escape my head.
The bullying carried on through middle school. It was mostly verbal bullying but in a few cases it turned into a physical type of bullying, in which I ended up in hospital.
Every night I would cry myself to sleep. The bullying got so bad I decided that I should try end the pain and take a blade to my wrist, my first suicide attempt.
Obviously I failed my suicide attempt and that made everything worse. I couldnt even bring myself to do something that I wanted so much, which was to end it all.
School got worse and worse. I failed all of my classes because the only thing that stayed in my brain was the words that people would day to me. My parents didn't understand when I told them I was getting bullied. They told me I needed to toughen up and get a life.
Over the past few months I had barely eaten anything at all. I was awfully skinny and at a very unhealthy weight where it was very hard for me to walk up just a few stairs. I hadn't grown in height at all either so I was only about 5'2.
Later on through the year My parents started to understand that the bullying was becoming to much for me to deal with and decided that I should move school.
A few months later and it was my first day at school. I remember stumbling through the gates as I was too weak to even carry my own body weight. The kids laughed at me. That was when I realised I was going to be very easy to pick on. The new kids are usually the bullies main target, but because I was small and skinny I would be an even easier target for them.
Later through the year I had been experiencing more bullying then I ever had before. I didn't let my parents find out this time because I didn't want to have to move again, so I started skipping school. I pretended to walk to school but would just go for a walk through the forest for the day. Later my parents found out because they saw my attendance record. I got sent back to school and my mom dropped me off at the gates everyday to make sure I was actually going to school.
On my first day back from skipping school, half the teachers had forgotten my name because I was gone for such a long period of time. I yet again became the bullies main target.
One day I remember sitting with one of my friends. We were chatting about random things but we weren't very close because I don't really thinker she liked me. One of my bullies came over and threatened to stab me with a knife. I tried to run away but I was too weak and I fell to the ground. He jumped on top of me and punched me untill I lay there by myself, unconscious, for the rest of the day.
I walked home that day and went starught to my room to find my blades. i grabbed them out and didn't even think before slicing it across my wrist. The pain felt so good and before I knew it I had passed out from the amount of blood I had lost. I was rushed to hospital and put on a lot of drugs to keep me alive.
The next few days I stayed at a special hospital because I wasn't capable of being on my own. Every single dangerous item got taken away from me. I had to ask for permission to use the bathroom and a person had to watch me use the bathroom to make sure I wasn't doing anything bad. Sometimes people would even watch me sleep because they knew I would find a way to something dangerous and hurt myself.
I got out of that hospital about 3 months ago and it was literally the most horrible thing ever. My parents now understand how bad my bullying experience was, so now I am doing online schooling.
