“I am an anomaly in the world of the bullied. So many kids are are affected so deeply by bullying that the cuts never even turn into scars. They walk around with wounds that are opened again and again until they have nothing left to bleed out. They are pushed closer and closer to the edge by every word and many of them eventually fall. And the thing is, we can’t put this all on the kids who turn into bullies. Many of those kids are in just as much pain as the bullied. If we want to take steps toward creating a world where kids leave school without massive amounts of scaring, we have to start creating a society where social policing of gender, fashion, interests, capability, color, status and self-expression no longer runs rampant in our streets.”

Almost Incidental: Growing Up Trans - A (Gender) Confusing Childhood →

almostincidental:

Following up my post on how to handle someone in your life coming out as trans, I thought it might be useful to provide some context. Or rather, I thought I might try and give you some insight into to one trans woman’s experience. I won’t quite give you my life story, but you may find some of…

“I was subjected to the same psychological abuse as is generally expected from girls (from the boys), teasing and rumours and exclusion and more. I was also frequently physically abused, and I honestly don’t know which was worse. I can remember one time a bigger student literally picked me up and threw me at a wall, just because he could.”

hathawaylane asked: Instead of posting pretty white girls who committed suicide why not post some unattractive people, girls, boys, men, women, children, blacks, hispanics, asians, disabled people, gays, lesbians, trans*, plus size people, etc. Posting nothing but pretty white girls hurts the cause and hides the people who are more likely to be bullied day in and day out.

Hi Kaley, I hear and understand your concerns. Honestly, these were the first posts I found when I searched for bullying on tumblr. If you have any links to tumblr posts about others, I’d certainly like to share their stories to raise awareness. Send links to standforsomethingtumblr AT gmail DOT com.

I’ve heard stories about terrible happenings such as bullying, racism, and all those terrible things that happen at school. I have always been so oblivious to those things because at school I’m never around that but it really is an eye opener when you hear that people are really suffering at…

These two girls (left) Olivia Penpraze and (right) Amanda Todd. Both committed suicide because of bullying. I don’t understand why people bullying others and how they can drive someone to a point they want to die.

Please reblog this. Rest in peace angels <3

beautystarts-fromthesoul:

Last week i found out that one of my closest friends Josh had taken his own life due to bullying over the internet. People need to realise that what they say has a huge impact on people and can make them feel so worthless that they see no future for them and end their life. I cannot believe that…

mixedupdays:

My school is doing a huge anti-bullying thing right now, which is awesome but somewhat confusing for first graders. Suddenly even the smallest offense brings cries of, “S/he’s bullying me!”

So this week I’m doing a lesson a day on what bullying means and how to determine if what you are dealing with is a “small” problem (and how to handle those) or a “tell an adult” problem, etc. Today I wrote “A bully” on chart paper and asked the class to suggest sentences to define “bully”. The first suggestion was “a bully hurts others.” So I wrote that, then did a little play acting. “Wait…Aidan, you accidentally tripped Taylor this morning and he got hurt. Does that mean you’re a bully?” Well of course this was met with dismay and denial, so we added “deliberately”, and they insisted that I add something about how “hurt” could mean “your body or your feelings”, so we did a little vocabulary lesson and threw that in.

“But wait! When I was a kid, I sometimes got really mad at my sister and well… I maybe hurt her feelings on purpose…” My students saw where I was going with that immediately and wanted another revision, that a bully hurts others over and over again (and I did a little dance inside, because that was the big takeaway I wanted from this lesson). Finally, one student brought up the idea that bullies want to make you afraid (this probably came from a lesson that the school counselor did a while back), and that was voted in as the final revision.

And these are first graders! I’m so proud. They really knew a lot more than they thought they did. They just had to stop and really think about it. We will keep this chart up for a while and refer to it a lot over the next few weeks, I’m sure.

The cuts and bruises on my skin,

hide the scars that lie within.

The smile that slides across my face,

looks at my anger and takes its place.

The tears streaming down my cheek,

compared to whats inside are feeble and weak.

My fists clenched into balls so tight,

ignore the fact I wont sleep…

‘The justice system failed her’: Nova Scotia teenager commits suicide after being raped, bullied: mother
The mother of a 17-year-old Halifax girl who committed suicide says her daughter was raped by four boys about 18 months ago and viciously bullied after a photo of the alleged incident was passed around her school and community.

Rehtaeh Parsons tried to kill herself Thursday night and was taken off life support Sunday.

In an extensive post on a Facebook memorial page, her mother Leah Parsons described how the straight-A high school student became depressed and suicidal after the incident. (Facebook)
