Personal Narrative Essay: The New Form Of Bullying

Improved Essays
Some people are taught that bullying is not right. Picking on someone by calling them hurtful names has absolutely no beneficial or moral purpose, and nevertheless, neither does putting your hands on someone. All these acts give a bully a sense of power in the moment while the person experiencing the cruel brutality is enduring permanent damage . As the years have gone by bulling has spread through the use of the Internet. This is known as cyber bullying which allows people to taunt people at any given time of day even at a distanc e. This includes sending crude pictures, making fake pages, or tweeting slanderous messages. Cyber bullying has subsequently become the new form of bullying. It is difficult for those who haven 't experienced bullying …show more content…
They called me skinny, big foot, and nerd. I pretended to ignore them. “Boys are stupid little disgusting creatures and I don’t care about them,” I announced strong and confidently. That was a fib and I knew it. Of course their opinions mattered to me, I was a little girl and I wanted to be liked by boys just like the other girls. When my crush began to laugh at the other boys as they picked on me, I felt like digging a deep hole and burying myself in it.
The girls weren’t as bad as the boys but they made smart remarks as well. They never insulted me to my face but they stole my makeup out my book bag and acted like it was theirs, I know you wondering why do I have makeup at a young age anyway but being picked on made my self-esteem low I wanted to feel pretty. After a while I figured the girls only talked to me to copy off my work so they can have good grades and to get new stuff from me because even though I did have a big foot my mother kept me in the latest. I did have a best friend but she wasn’t in my

I didn’t know if it was when I started cutting my wrist and locked myself in the bathroom and just cried because I felt alone in this world. Perhaps it was when one of the girls in my class stole my work and wrote her name on it and left me with her paper that was a “D” while she flaunted my perfect “A”.
I was convinced that if I died everything would be better, if I changed schools everything would be better but I now know that it wouldn 't have made a difference, but my mentality is permanently changed. I don’t have the confidence I think I would have if I was never bullied, im constantly always worrying about what someone thinks about me. I can 't pass a group of snickering girls without putting my head down, sure that they 're laughing at my imperfections. I feel so ugly when I see prettier girls that I literally walk the other way to avoid passing them.
Just knowing how someone bullying me years ago still had an effect on me years afterwards hurts. I will forever remember those tragic childhood memories for the rest of my

    The Devon School was once full of life and everyone was happy that is, until I came. The boys really thought they knew who I was but they were completely wrong. This all began at the Devon school I met Gene, Finny, Leper, Brinker, and the other students. At first when I met Gene I was suspicious of him because I felt he was not trustworthy and was conservative. However, I noticed that Finny trusted everyone, including Gene, which he was humble and did not brag about how athletic or cool he was.…

    After reading Jeannette Walls’ Glass Castle, I realize that she and I have a lot in common. From her parents arguing to her being bullied at school to her father dying, she went through a lot of situations that resemble some of the less known and serious problems that I had while I was about the same age. Jeannette had a tough life while growing up. However, even though I had similar issues, I lived and still live a relatively sheltered life. I, like her, simply viewed everything that happened as normal and didn’t realize that it was abnormal until I got into fifth or sixth grade.…

    Much like Melinda, in the novel Speak, I have had multiple experiences in which I have been humiliated, frightened, and even abused. Not quite exactly the same experiences, although. I was an anti-social child up until I moved to Walkerton. I had no friends before the move, ever. I was always the kid picked very last, the one who never did anything correct, who had no friends, the loner, etc.…

    Incidents like this were luckily few and far between, but almost everything you deal with helps shape who you become. I also dealt with a fair amount of bullying; most children went to school together from kindergarten to whatever grade we were in at the time, so I, always being the new kid, was the outcast. I learned…

    Journal #3(Elementary School) From the first punch to the final insult, elementary school was by far the worst experience of my life. I remember being physically assaulted all the way back in kindergarten, taking punches from two imbeciles named Anthony and Carmelo. The teacher never did anything to stop the bullying, all she would ever do is tell them they weren't being nice. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that no one would help me; after all, it's human nature to turn the other way when confronted with a conflict.…

    The norm may not always be the right way to go. I no longer want to be a part of a popular or important group of people, if I feel that what the group is doing or believes in is wrong, even if it means I'm not a part of the norm. I am not afraid to stand out on my own. I have challenged this belief for many years. When I was in elementary school, I was bullied by a group of girls that I hung with, looked up to and idolized.…

    Who would have known that middle school could be so cruel. Seriously, at that young age I thought that the kids would be sweet as gum drops. I was dead wrong. It was as if it was a crime to not have been a stick figure. It was a crime for to embrace your intellectual side.…

    Back then during middle school, I was one of those kids who just didn't get along with anybody, I was always alone and was pretty much bullied by other kids who thought they were better than me in every way imaginable. Sometimes people are cruel and they still are, but that doesn't mean you return the feeling otherwise your no better than the people who did it to you. It was during lunch that a boy came up to me and starting calling me names, just like any other day. It went on like this for a while until I ended up telling one of my teachers that he was doing this and that this had been happening to me for some time with other students because of how i looked or who I was hanging out with. All of this started in elementary school during 3rd grade, but it just got worse from there and that's where…

    When it comes to the fine art of poetry, there is a fine line differing between good and bad. But how do you decipher when poetry is good? In my opinion, you can differ a piece of flawless literature from mediocre based purely upon the feeling it invokes. A piece of amazing literature can cause the reader to experience emotions that they would likely feel if they were genuinely in that situation, putting them in the shoes of the speaker within the piece of literature. In my opinion, an example of this is the poem “Troll” written by Shane Koyczan.…

    A time in my life when I had to overcome adversity was when I was in the second, third, and fourth grade. Everybody used to say I look like a boy and I have a deep voice for a girl. I was used to get so mad and be so sad because deep down I knew it was true, but I did not want people talking about me. My classmates would whisper, look at me, and laugh I hated it so much.…

    Cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature. Today bullies use cell phones or computers to cyber bully; the technology is so updated and high tech, you can literally do anything you can think of. When it comes to teenagers, bullying is basically a hobby for them; they feel no guilt for the things they do, even though they know what they are doing is hurting others. It is crazy to think that something as simple as clicking a button can severely affect a young adult’s future so easily (“Cyber Bullying Statistics”).…
