I never got bullied, or harassed, but i always feel like i'm not remotely good enough for my friends. I could only be their friend when there were no one around, too. I tried to be dumb and ignorant and asdfjkl; hid everything i knew so that i could appear shallow and honestly, sometimes i DO think it's my own fault for wanting to be in with the popular crowd. I keep wishing and wishing things get better, like when i go to a new school or something, but sometimes it feels like you're suffocating, slowly.

Get it out of your system, bb. ONE DAY YOU WILL SHOW THEM ♥

People. :(
I can say that I've experienced this as well (never asked teachers or anyone for help though), but mine was in high school. The fact that I was older makes it even more degrading or something. But now it all went back to them, because they never got into decent colleges at all. I didn't get revenge myself, it all really just went back to them.

I don't know you much, but I really hope that things will start getting better for you soon. No one's life is more unfair than others', is what I believe. Just don't give up :)

It's not really fair that you had to transform yourself into some kind of pastiche of American teen movie culture just to make other people happy :|

I'm glad you're sticking to your gut with this and that you know it's not really your fault. A comment like the one above (about letting people make you miserable) would've sent me into a guilt-ridden spiral for years;;;

Blame should never fall on the victim. They have never asked, "Hey, could you make me feel so degraded and guilty that I want to kill myself?" They have never worn a sign on their backs saying TEASE ME.

I'm sorry you ever felt like this. I know how it is, though. I just don't understand bullying and hurting people the way kids (...and some adults, although I don't really consider them adults :|) do. I honestly don't get it. Maybe since I've been a victim of that for so long, I'm more sensitive.

Ugh.

Random lurker here. I went through pretty much the exact same thing and I can understand this. I remember doing exactly what you did, your not alone. And really, with all that was going on, we did what we thought was right.

Victim blaming really is probably one of the most horrible things to happen. It seems these days they're encouraging bullying and such, instead of trying to HELP the victim. It's never the victim's fault. Sure, there's things I've done that I regret, but it was hardly deserving of what I got.

I'm quite a bit older and out of school, but such things still and will effect us for the rest of our lives. You're not alone though, don't forget that.
