Were you ever abused in school?

I was abused everyday for 11 years out of my 12 by the same boy. (HE wasnt at my school during my tenth year... My best year) anyway He was at my bus stop and it seemed like we had lunch time together every year and he was a grade younger than me. He failed. He would toss stuff at me and my friends, make rumors and signs up about me, pin me to a wall with all his guy friends around watching, and the list is too long to say but when i went for help time after time i was told "oh just let it go" finally i bipassed the principle i was assigned and went to the whole schools Principle which turned out to be a mistake. This kid was on the football team and the Principle was the head football coach and he said to me and i quote "Your just jealose of the attention that football players get, you need to get a hobby, besides he has a tough home life that you probably dont, He is just venting his feelings of aggression." Now i had no care in the world about his home life just because he was being abused didnt give him the right to do it to me. Anyway 4 years after high school i got on a buss to go see my parents because my fiance was working late... I hadnt been picked on since high school and had not heard much about him besides a bad bar fight he had gotten into. well who comes on the buss but him. I immediatly looked down and got fearful and i thought please dont let him notice me. And for my shock he sat down and started talking to me about him going to college and asked me questions of what i had been doing. Talked to me like we were best friends. My mom and dad couldnt believe that i didnt take the oportunity to tell him what he had done to me all those years. The only thing i can think of WHy it happened on my part is that i was heavy and quick to defend my friends. He got a reaction he was looking for

Yes, I have.\nThat was someone who hurted me in every possible way - body, soul, dignity, etc. I was absolutely out for a year.\nI deeply hated that person and I wished he was dead more than anything in the world.\nBut after some time I realized that my hatred of him is bad for me only and I overcame it.\nNow, I don't even remember him, except that answer to you. :)

well done, it needed to be said.  but look you said it yourself too 'i was in an abusive situation once...it took me some time (as i was younger and less experienced)'  \n\ndo you realize that a LOT of people on here are teenagers who are at that 'younger and less [life] experienced' phase that you were at?\n\nit's good that you are here to shout sense into people..sorry to hear of your abusive encounter before. hope as many people as possible read your post here today and get some thinkin going on!

I spent my entire last semester of my senior year in the hospital and got exempt from every exam. Since I went to a private school, they just "gave" me my last year based on my GPA. (idiots)\nI broke over half the bones in my body, lost 5 teeth, was blind for 6 months, and had a HUGE piece of toboggan stuck through my leg for at least a week until they could figure out what specialist could get it out.. \nGraduation was just a riot with no friggin teeth. I had so much fun making crass jokes and used ketchup packets to squirt out fake blood, pretending my friends had hit me whenever kids or older people stared at me.\nWait a minute... I still do that..

I wet myself in school when I was about 7.  We had to wait until after breaktime to the go to the toilet, and I'd been running around playing tag with some of my friends.  When the whilstle blew for the end of break time we all had to stand still and I'm afraid my over full bladder just couldn't cope and I peed myself.  And everyone saw and laughed at me.  Boohooh! Yeah I cried.\n\nAnd I had to sit in wet clothes all the rest of the afternoon!  Terrible eh?

i reckon that everyone has been bullied at least once in their life. i use to get bullied all the time when i was in grade prep to 4 for being asian. i was the only one being bullied because of my background. they use to do all sorts of ugly things to me. i was even dacked at one point. they woulds teal my money but rubbish in my bag and call my nasty names. they would even try to get me into trouble and the teacher believes them and did nothing to help me. it all stopped when i was in grade 5 and i somehow became popular. back then i use to hate myself fro bveing asian but then i realized that hey, im not the one complaining and bitching about being asian. i use to hate life so much i  wanted to die, but its part of growing up and its just somethig that you experience to learn more about life. oh yeah u answered my question about the paris hilton perfume, where did you read the info about the chemicas that attract the opposite sex? sorry this is the only way for me to contact you/

I try not to remember this, but I will never be able to forget. I was on my way to elementary school. (This was over 20 yrs ago) A little boy that I went to school with was running up ahead of me toward a busy intersection. When he got to the corner he tripped and because he had been running flew into the street. His head was crushed by a truck right in front of me and about four other kids our age. I had many nightmares for quite sometime after that day.

I used to go to a boarding school and boy did I hate it! My boarding school was particularly strict so most of the time we couldn't go anywhere and stayed at school for periods of 4-5 weeks before a 2-day return home. It was horrible! We had no form of entertainment and knew little of what was going on outside the school walls. We were punished for the slightest of things---eating in the dormitory, using electric items, showering after 5pm, wearing sleaveless clothing or shoes without 'backs'. We were a set of bored boarding broods that had little to do but study, envy, and drool at the footballers we managed to get a look at in the local teen newspaper. Thank God, I'm finally FREE!

my first fight was between me and the school bully. He called some names and I realized that I was bigger than him. He got a couple of bruises because I swept the floor with him (not literally). After the fight, all of my friends at the locker room congratulated me at lunch.

I didn't, I was an only child and instead of being treated like a princess (like I am!) I was more or less banished to my bedroom and slapped a lot-that's probably why I am such an insecure, immature attention seeker that I am now, but at least I treat my kids well x

It was a dark time in my life, I had graduated from harvard with high marks and a man approached me wanted me to join his organization.  I said yes, that was the worst thing I ever did the next 10 years of my life was doing things that would give you nightmares.   jk, told my mom to piss off once, that was as bad as it gets.

Definitely!  When  I was in school there was corporal punishment and in my opinion it worked great.  Kids had respect for their elders.

I am a teacher, and they tell us it is high.  Any type of abusers were usually abused themselves.  Talk to a psychologist or psychology teacher for more insight on this.

I do.  At my old school your parents had to sign a consent form and if your parents said it was okay then the teachers could paddle you with a witness present.  When I was in 6th grade I told some kid where to stick, in other terms (cursing) and for that I was paddled.  I deserved it and so do most of today's kids.  Ya know what?  When angry now I don't curse at people.  It taught me a lesson.

Aggghh...I hated everything about school.\nIt was 20 yrs ago for me, but I remember hating all of it.\nAll the "clicks", all the boring, immature gossip and drama, the lame as hell classes, gym sucked bad, study halls (who really ever studied anyway?)\nConsequently, I was one of those teens who found myself skipping all the time. \nWas a miracle I ever even graduated!

I cried everyday and continued to do so for a couple of months or so. Actually my grandmother would sneak out of the house and come to my school so that i feel better ! But gradually i got used to the environment at school and then it was normal.
