In junior high some girls threatened me on MSN and called me horrible names. I was really uncomfortable going to school and skipped just so I wouldn’t have to be there. Mostly because I would cry a lot and didn’t want to end up crying in my class or during break.
At first I did not do anything about it. I didn’t know what to do, so I just blocked them from my MSN and that was it. But then things got worse. They kept switching i.d’s on MSN and sending me more messages and they were getting nastier with what they said.
At one point almost everyone in my school hated me because the girls were spreading rumours about me too. It made me feel helpless, alone, and worthless, that people I thought I could trust completely could turn against me so quickly.
For a long time I never told anyone. That was probably the biggest mistake I made. If I told someone, they could have stopped it or made me feel better about it. But I was scared they would laugh at me for being scared.
But when I finally told my mom, she talked to the school, the other parents, and the girls. It took a long time but the whole thing got fixed and they’ve stopped bullying me.
