Teachers just don’t understand bullying hurts.

Teachers just don’t understand how I feel inside. They think since they asked us to apologize, their job is done. It isn’t done, because I still hurt from the name-calling, hitting, humiliation, sleepless nights, and from feeling alone and depressed at school.

One might say, I am too young to experience bullying. Believe it or not, bullying happens to kids who are younger than me. When I am being bullied my teachers never listen. They always think I am making it up—or they will try to sugar-coat the situation. They fail to realize that children have feelings too, and we deserve to be heard. Teachers just don’t understand bullying hurts.

My teachers would think the problem was solved. It wasn’t… because the same person would still pick on me, just more quietly, so the teacher wouldn’t hear him. It only got worse, and more people began to pick on me because they knew they were not going to get into trouble. I was miserable going to school every day.

I had to defend myself because I was tired of hurting and being bullied.

I tell my teachers, but they never do anything!

I did what you told me to do. I always tell my teachers, and I thought it was going to get better.

I also try to treat people the way I want to be treated. I guess other people do not think the same as I do.

I was miserable going to school every day.
