awww thats great!

i think bullying is the main problem in schools today, you hear of it all the time

Through junior and infant school i had a great time, loads of friends, high grades i was sad to leave for secondary, but i made new friends and started enjoying myself, but my school life came tumbling down at my 3rd year at secondary, it started with a group picking on me verbally, it scared me one day i couldn't take it anymore so when i got home i had a good cry and told mum, she pulled me out of the school and we hunted for a new one and asked for places, i got a letter from a school saying they have a place for me, i was pleased.
Although a few days after before i accepted my place, the attendance officer from my old school came round, promised to keep me safe this time, it sounded nice so i turned down my place at the new school and kept with the old one, i was put in a small quiet class with other pupils who had different problems until i was comfortable with going into mainstream classes, they were nice, one day we all went to the computer room and when it was time to leave a few boys were taking their time so the teacher knew i was okay to carry on back to the class on my own so i did, but on the way the group that bullied me was in the corridor, the boy sprayed me in the eyes with deodrant, they all laughed, i ran back to my class and told the teacher, i couldn't see a school nurse as their wasn't one at the time.., i went to the doctors after i was lucky it wasn't worse i had an infection which cleared up.
I told the attendance officer and he said these things happen!! i was angry, he promised to me i'd be safe and this happens.
My place at the other school had gone, no other school would accept me as it was too late cos they were starting gcse term, i was predicted A's and A*'s in my gcses, but never got them because of that i got into a deep depression, i had no friends, no social life i thought my life was over, even my cousin said i was a nobody.

But...on a lighter note i started karate it built up my confidence, i made friends, now im a changed person i got a boyfriend and have been with him for 9 months, and i got a place in college for september to get them grades, i might be later than people my age but i'll get there!

That was my story, so if you're at school or have kiddies in school, tell them to tell someone and get it sorted before its too late, moving school is a good option, especially if its a group as they're not gonna kick them all out of the school!

That's a heartbreaking story to read, it reminds me so much of my school days

I couldn't wait to leave and be free of my tormentors...It's such a shame you were promised to be kept safe, and then dismissed when something happened, thats really not on! It's so hard to build confidence and trust in a system that let you down in the first place , yet alone twice!

I'm glad you are settled now, and are looking forward to college. It really is different from school, once kids get older and realise they can be prosecuted, and ruin their futures they think twice about bullying. Although theres always one cock that thinks they own the place no matter where you go lol...happy days ahead Stacey, embrace them
