people on reddit can be so mean.

people on reddit can be so mean.

Trigger - Mentions: Ableism

I made a post that gained a lot of traction on my old account, where I vented about how I'm physically perceived, and the abuse I endured because of it. A random guy stalked my profile, commented on a post in an entirely different subreddit, and chose to insult me.

He mocked me (assuming since the post was on a subreddit for people with a personality disorder) for being neurodivergent and essentially thanked me for reminding him that things could always be worse. I pointed out that what he was saying had been unkind, but he ignored that and seemed to be insulting/mocking me. I could be overreacting, but his behavior was strange, and it was hurtful.

He claimed to have followed me on my other posts because he found me "strange".

This hurt a lot. All I did was vent in a different subreddit and someone insulted me in a vulnerable space. He mocked me and seemed to find it pleasurable.

I ended up deleting my account since I didn't wanna get harassed + other people were coming to different posts I made leaving comments, and it was triggering.

Bullying has done a lot of harm to my mental health. But I never gave up!

Despite being bullied and called an “idiot” many times, I never gave up on being a kind and loving person. If I were to give up that would be disastrous. Why would I give up? Bullies target the most vulnerable, which means that I need to work on building new life skills and training improving my strength.

It took me a lot of courage and hard work to reach the level of good reputation, which most people would never understand. Most bullies that I’ve encountered on Reddit were low-karma burner accounts that were created a few months (or weeks) ago. Realizing that, I decided to ignore them and move forward with courage.

These bullies are actually weak and insecure, despite pretending to be smarter and stronger. Years of suffering, years of emotional pain from past trauma, and years of battling with constant stress and fear. Yet I’m still moving forward, haven’t given up completely……

Art therapy depicting the start of my addiction

I made this for therapy showing me outside the RV my dad and I would live in on the weekends so I could play hockey in California since I lived in Vegas , and got bullied severely to the point of sexual assault by other teammates that injured me physically as well and I got prescribed OxyContin because my mom started giving me some of hers instead of taking me to a real dr then she took me to her pain dr and got me my own oxy and that started my over a decade long addiction. I had already been dealing with severe depression since 9 years old when the bullying got bad. I guess this is trying to show how I tried to numb away ALL of the pain

Is this bullying?

My sister's friends took her phone and were pretending to be her and texting me pretending to be her. They said that this was a joke that they always do but what if I had mentioned something personal? They always try to hold in their laughter when speaking to me.

What do you guys think?

21M, I finally have the words for my experiences.

I spent most of my life carrying a weight I couldn't name... years in survival mode wondering what was wrong with me, working on myself trying to address the symptoms. Having the words has really changed something in me. It's been a rough couple of years but things are genuinely starting to look up.

"En mi escuela protegen a los agresores porque tienen influencias, y hoy decidí no callarme más".

​

¿Alguna vez han sentido que no importa cuántas pruebas presenten, la justicia simplemente no es para ustedes?

Hoy vengo a mostrarles cómo el sistema escolar protege a los agresores cuando tienen las influencias correctas.

Yo soy una alumna secundaria en un pequeño pueblo de Michoacan y este es el caso de bullying que mi escuela se niega a resolver por proteger a 'alguien importante'.

No soy la única. Somos varios los alumnos que hemos presentado queja tras queja sobre la misma persona, pero parece que hay una regla invisible que dice: “si el agresor tiene influencias, la víctima es la que sobra”.

He presentado más de 3 reportes oficiales, y la respuesta siempre es el silencio o excusas vacías, la máxima sanción aplicada ha sido una semana de suspensión. Pero lo más grave no es que no hagan nada, es que están tomando represalias contra mí por no quedarme callada.

Después de mi última queja, de forma 'misteriosa', un profesor me bajó la calificación con una excusa técnica, de esas que están tan bien armadas que parecen legales, pero que todos sabemos que es un castigo por hablar.

Esta persona no es solo una 'bully' común; tiene un historial de destruir vidas ante los ojos cerrados de la dirección.

En primer grado, su acoso y su capacidad para aislar a los demás obligaron a una alumna sobresaliente a abandonar la institución. Ese mismo ciclo, otra compañera prefirió dejar de estudiar definitivamente antes que seguir soportando el ambiente que esta persona crea.

Tiene una habilidad aterradora para manipular a otros y hacer que cometan actos atroces por ella, asegurándose de que sus manos siempre queden limpias. Es una manipuladora experta que sabe usar el sistema a su favor mientras las autoridades escolares miran hacia otro lado, permitiendo que el talento se vaya y la toxicidad se quede.

Llevo 3 años viendo cómo una sola persona tiene el poder de destruir a quien quiera en mi escuela. No solo me pasa a mí; somos alumnos de varios grados sufriendo el acoso de ella y sus secuaces bajo la mirada cómplice de la dirección.

Por culpa de su hostigamiento, estuve a punto de cometer el mayor error de mi vida y que pudo terminar mi historia para siempre. Por suerte, no lo logré, pero hoy esa desesperación se convirtió en rabia. Una rabia que nace de ver cómo ella sigue impune después de 3 cartas con amenaza de expulsión que terminaron en la basura porque su apellido pesa más que el reglamento.

A mí me cuesta estudiar; no soy de esas alumnas que sacan 10 sin esfuerzo. Mis promedios de 7 y 8 son fruto de un trabajo real de años. Y ahora, por no callarme, un profesor —aliado de su familia probablemente— ideó el plan perfecto para bajarme las notas con excusa “justificable" para ponerme en riesgo de repetir el año.

Es increíble: ella se burla de los maestros a sus espaldas, pero les llora como mártir de frente para manipularlos. Mientras tanto, quienes de verdad nos esforzamos, estamos siendo borrados del sistema.

Mientras tanto, quienes de verdad nos esforzamos estamos siendo borrados del sistema porque, para esta institución, su palabra es ley. Las represalias siempre atacan a los que se atreven a alzar la voz, y mi boleta de calificaciones es la prueba de ello.

Hoy expongo mi caso de forma anónima para evitar más sanciones y porque mi seguridad física y académica está en riesgo. Pero el hecho de que no use mi nombre no hace que esta verdad sea menos real.

So apparently I am immature for telling this girl off because she was being a snide bully to me.

So I remember I was at lunch and this fucking white girl was making fun of me and and yelling at me and I just started to give her the same energy and of course my other “friend,”was all like “Chloe your not a baby, your not a princess,” and I told her to shut up and no one likes her and I got in trouble because she ran to the teacher and told on me.

But the white girl got off Scott free.

And I got called childish and immature and “you’ll never grow up and always have the mind of a child!” I’m autistic by the way.

By a grown man by the way.

Yeah that’s why I hate teachers and the school system.

Who else did this happen to?

Basically when people ask me about my bullying experience in 4th grade I don't remember.

Here's this

"Oh well I've been bullied in 4th grade"

"What did they do to you"

"..."

The thing is I don't even remember what they did to me and I look like I'm lying about being bullied. I hate this since I can't advocate about the things. I hate this so much.

For the bullied and beautiful

As someone who was bullied from 2nd grade through 10th, when I finally changed to a new school where I knew no one, this incredible spoken word poetry really spoke to me.

Art Therapy depicting traumatic events from childhood bullying

So I’m just over a year sober after a decade long addiction to literally like every substance, fentanyl, xans,alcohol, meth everything and it all started when I was 13 and got my first hip injury in hockey but that’s just what I told people..Really it was from being sexually assaulted by my teammates while being bullied and I got put on OxyContin and I had already been molested by a coach two years prior and had been getting bullied bad the past 3 years and my dad was an abusive alcoholic, so I fell in love with those pills and I never received any therapy or anything for my abuse just more drugs and I played high level tier 1 hockey I was actually ranked one of the top 5 goalies in the continent for like 6 years in a row was even teetering on number one for like two years, but I didn’t fit in. I was from Vegas and homeschooled, and we had to travel to California every weekend to play and I don’t know people saw the victim in me and took advantage or something. And for all those years, I just numbed it away and now I’m finally dealing with it all except I’m not able to talk about it verbally even in Therapy with just me and my Therapist. I lock up and basically have an anxiety attack and literally just can’t talk even though I want to so I have to write it all down and he has me draw out since he knows I’m a good artist so he can read and see the scenes so I don’t have to describe anything and that way everything can get started in the sessions without me having to bring up stuff that will make me not be able to talk and it works, not going to lie it kind of sucks because I’m a good artist this shit gets really vivid and get nightmares and flashbacks sometimes because of it, but in the long run, it does work because in a few weeks, the nightmares and flashbacks lessen and so does the anxiety and depression .. but I wanted to share this because there is such a toxic culture in Hockey that is swept under the rug and people don’t talk about, or people excuse with that old saying boys will be boys or some type of shit like that and this shit is real and it’s horrible like from the age of nine I wanted to commit suicide because of this. I didn’t wanna play the sport I love and committed my life too and was so good at and wanted to play my whole life because of the abuse I was getting from Not just the kids, but the coaches and the parents, too. Who were either in on it or excused it or laughed it off or just did nothing about it. And in my case, nobody could say it wasn’t happening because I had the bruises to prove it and all the dumbasses were posting all of the pictures and videos on social media. That’s how I got stalkers and groomed and molested in the first place! And some of these kids are in the NHL now! Some in the AHL or ECHL , most of them played D1 college on full ride scholarships or played major juniors and are now in the best league in the world getting paid millions with a wife and family house and car, and I’m just trying to get through the day without going insane! So that’s what I tried to depict in the bottom left picture was all of those kids mocking me while I suffered about to take as much oxy as possible standing in front of the RV we used to live in in front of the rink in California on the weekends… sorry if this is too dark for some of y’all this is just how I’m expressing my feelings I guess but I think it’s good to share it too because it shows just how dark it all gets for even little kids with so much talent…

Boys Play Tricks on Girls They Like... Not to justify it, but does any girl only realize that that "bully" was actually in love with you?
