do you feel me?

[supercharm100]

have you ever been picked on because of the way you are?
i can say that i have, i still am.. i go through it every single day, i can honestly say that it tears me down, and i would sometimes try to drown myself so it would all go away.
as i progress through life, i notice it will only get harder for me. being who i am is the only thing that motivates me, (besides my parents).. i live only to show them that their wrecking words will only build me stronger and stronger!

do you feel me, am i alone? am i the only one who feels this way?:what:

[mr.sexy_bomb]

yeah, but in my case people dont seem to hate me, and if they make comments i dont answear them(my friends will say stuff and tell them to shut up) but if its too mean i will just be like "who are you to judge me, do u know me? because if you did you wouldnt be judging me now move" and i will walk away with my friends

Mercifully, adolescence is temporary. And although adults can be pretty vile, most learn somewhere along the way to keep it to themselves, so I think it will getb easier as you progress thru life.

It's good you've found a way to keep your sanity here and recognize that people who are abusive say more about themselves than of you.

im not out to anyone, im living a secret life, everyone just randomly says "dick" and is like "you like those" i want to say i know, im bi, i just cant.

i really hate being piced on. I was almost in tears on the bus on the way back from bush gardens yesterday (8th grade graduation field trip). I only have one friend who truly cares, and he is like a brother to me. If it weren't for him, my life would really suck.

I feel you bro. That's been my life since the 3rd grade. I'm only out to 5 people.

I know, I'm sorry, it's awful. It's not just those that are bi or gay that are picked on, it's everyone. I know those of the homosexual orientation get a lot of bullying, however straight people do as well. It's because of labels. People hear a label, and associate as something bad, because it's different from what they are, it's everywhere. No I'm not gay, but I am a huge dork, and I hide it everyday to fit into conformity. I incredibly respect those that are themselves, and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, good for them.

You have to take the pain that is brought onto you, and channel it into something productive. It's important not to lash out, not to give into the hurt, stand tall, and do the best you can to fight through out.

hey ik how that feels too i have dyslexia and i have been made fun of my whole life and i have to say thank god for my camp because if not for my friends at my lake house i would never ever make it though the school year never find something to look froward to and just focus on that and that will help

[shelb angs]

Or you can stop complaining and tough it out. Teen years are full of this and 'telling on' people who do it will just get you picked on more.

[papercut_perfect]

I used to get picked on when I was younger but it ended when I went to high school. don't worry. This will pass.

[Sammeh]

When I used to get picked on, early on I said "Ok then, if you have a problem, let's settle it" and got into my boxing stance, they stopped. Though I preffered to just sigh, look at them, shake my head and give a pitying look, sometimes I'd tell them I did. And I did, its sad how some people have such boring lives or narrow minds to need to bully someone for anything...

Just remember, the fact that they are bullying you, instantly makes you better than them :D

[scuba steve]

i get bullied for being ginger at times, i have other friends who are ginger i hang around with, they dont seem to say stuff when your in groups.

for some reason britain hates gingers and thats where we origionate:(

i use to be afraid to fight back for a while and then when i got to middle skool it all changed and man i soo feel u there but like i pulled myself to this conclusion that i just gota stop crying and live life... i mean yeah its ok to cry i kno how u feel last year i cried everyday when i got home its ok man u can msg if u wana talk but thats just how it went for me i hope that helps

[Raize]

Gahhh, I fucking hate it when people do that! Here, I'm not bothered at all, only the gay guys are. Seriously, it just...blows my mind. It's always the "straight manly guys" who do it, and they leave lesbians alone. alk;sdjflkasd. I HATE IT. They don't even have an excuse! NONE AT ALL. We got into a disscussion of the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy in english, and all the "straight manly men" were all offended and got super mad and said it should stay. So glad school is out now.

[scuba steve]

i completly understand those senarious (dont know the spelling) but to be honest im sure if you singled them all out they would'nt be so narrow about it and im sure some of them would find it unfair. it's just an act they put to act hard in front of their mates.

and as for picking on gays and leaving lesbians it's basically the same thing, to impress their mates and to some straight people homosexuality can scare them, but they admire same sex relations of their opposite gender (lesbians) and just from looking around this site you can see some girls like to watch opposite sex relations too.

[kt2369]

yea i know how you feel.. my best friends make fun of me cause i cut. thats all they do.. im basically alone. my friends use me jsut to talk to... even my best friend is leaving/has already.

[scuba steve]

to be honest i wouldn't call them your friends if they make fun of you:(

[supercharm100]

why is it that all of us are treated this way... do we not have the right to be treated like regular people? we all need to make our stand!!

[scuba steve]

yea me and semmah will get a 300quid plane ride over to texas pick you up and go on a stand up to assholes tour of the u.s pickin up everyone else on the way

[Kinetic]

lets start a war man im ready to take this shit down

[punkjake]

ur talking about homosexuality/bisexuality right?because if you aren't this probbly isn't the right place but back to subject I don't know but i hope ppl leave you alone just because in their eyes ur different

[Zazu]

Yep, I've received quite a lot abuse due to who I am.

One of the unfortunate and, annoyingly, unchangeable things about this world is that there will always be people who judge, there will always be people who discriminate against others and try to put you down. I've ended up just taking the attitude of "sod them, why should I care what they think?". I feel that one of the most important things for you to do and to be is what you are happy with; it shouldn't matter what others think, you are yourself and shouldn't have to change that.

[Jumby]

Although i am still confused about my sexuality, i hate getting picked on because its like those people think they know all about you and try to give you a label.

[YourFriend]

No1 except my boyfriend knows...

[nick]

People get picked on for anything different, anything that doesnt conform.

I'm bi but I'm not out. However I'm really into classical music, I'm bad at sports, I'm kinda studious. I dont fit other peoples ideas about what's cool. So that makes me a target for a lot of shit. I'm also short and not physically strong, with a birthday in late August I'm one of the youngest in the school year. These guys think they'e so tough picking on the weak (yes, thats me).

Sorry, thats a bit of a ramble, just trying to say you're not alone, lots of people get picked on, not just because of sexuality. If they knew I was bi too Christ knows.

[kyle95]

mate, whoever is doing this 2 u is a sadistical bastard. b strong and dont let it effect u, it's water off a ducks back. schools and police take bullying seriously, so report the people who r doing this 2 u. ur not alone mate, i may not go thru this, but i dont like it when i hear about it. dont show fear but dont be foolish either, go 2 the authorities before u end up in the hospital or worse.

[MisterMonster]

why is it that all of us are treated this way

because you're from texas.
Texas has never been the most tolerant place on Earth
sort of just in front of Russia and the Middle East.
