Scared of bullying?

Is there anyone here at school who is being bullied? I feel that I have to do everything right or else people will treat me like a joke. If there is anyone out there in the huge universe that is the internet, that would be awesome.

I may be of no help to you Dan. However, when I was at school a close friend went through a terrible period of being bullied and to this day I regret that I did offer any help. I witnessed a lot and learned a lot and would be happy to share - entirely up to you.

Hi DanTheMan001,
I'm out of school now but absolutely definitely yes - this was really something I struggled with throughout primary school and high school.
For me personally, I felt like I couldn't do anything right - basically I wanted to disappear because I felt like I was never good enough. I struggled, big time.
One thing that I've learned though (and I think you'll learn too) is that it's kind of impossible to do everything right. Once I wrote down what my life would look like if I actually did everything right - if I was actually the person people wanted me to be. I was bullied for being too shy, so the 'ideal' me would have lots of friends, and I was bullied for my size, so the 'ideal' me would be in heaps of sports and clubs. What I learned though - is that the ideal me is incredibly unrealistic and has to have 64 hours in a day. It can't exist.
I am totally assuming this is the same for you too. If you were everything you thought you should be and did *everything* right, you just couldn't be human and probably needed 60 hours in a day too.
Something to think about maybe 🙂
