Bullying Don't be one and don't be a victim
With all the stories in the media about bullies and suicides for example this one happened near me Parent: Hamilton Middle School Ignored Bullying Concerns, I thought I would share an experience I had growing up with a bullying.
Have you ever had your parents say to you don’t do that or your face will free like that? Well it’s true, I used to try to block out some noise by folding over my ears well it ended up causing my ears to stick out. I was taller than most everyone in my class and I had ears that stuck out, that was two things I was teased about.
I was in the second grade class of Ms. Sanchez at Rio Grande Elementary school in Belen New Mexico. I lived out in a very rural area, cable didn’t exist and most people lived on half acre or more. There were maybe 10 kids that lived in this area. Not many kids around to play with.
One particular kid we will call Landon, was my bully. I don’t know what I ever did to him, I would guess nothing because I was a shy kid, never bothering anyone, and you could say I was a nerd. One day he went to Ms. Sanchez and told her that I tried to shoot him with a BB gun while we were in our neighborhood. For that I was sent to the principal’s office, I don’t recall what happened at the principal’s office but I know I wasn’t in trouble but I missed that day worth of class. I told my parents and they said to wait and see if it happened again. Then either the next day or a few days later I don’t recall something similar happened, and I was sent back to the principal’s office. I don’t recall anything ever happening, but I do recall crying at night when I got home from school. I hated second grade.
I don’t recall what happened with the bullying but I think things turned out ok for me. I don’t think that it was worth suicide, nor do I think I would have thought about committing suicide back then.
I want to say if you are a victim of a bully talk to your parents, talk to your parents, your teacher, any teacher or any other adult. They will help you, if not talk to a police officer they will help. If you are a bully, stop it now.
