Personal experience
My personal experience with bullying was not easy. I had people picking on me for my
size, sexuality, and also the way I dressed all because I didn’t fit into the crowd. When I first
started out, there were already rumors about me and my sexuality. Being gay was not an easy
thing to say to people because people would look at you a different way. My aunt being in
hierarchy of the school district, I didn’t want to disappoint her, so I decided to keep it a secret to
myself, but as I got older and up in grade school, people would notice that I didn’t act the way a
girl would act, or I would be looking at a girl. My first encounter with bullying started when I
came into the classroom, and I was going to sit down, and the boy next to me, pulled my seat
from under me, and I instantly fell to the ground. I was so embarrassed, I didn’t even want to
stay in the class, but it got worse. As I was picking my stuff up from the floor after the huge
embarrassment, the boy then stated some vulgar things, and I ran out of the classroom. The
bullying did not stop, but instead it got worse, the physical torture, pushing and shoving, hitting
my head against the locker, the emotional aspect, going home crying, contemplating suicide, and
the mental aspect as well, lowering my standards of my homework, failing all my classes, and

geting in trouble were the only things that left me as a lost child. At the time, I told my teachers,
about the bullying, but it went nowhere at all, as if the teachers didn’t care about the traumatic
events that I went through. It wasn’t until my aunt, who today is my hero, I told her what was
going on, and she came to my rescue. I felt that I was losing control of myself, my middle school
years were spiraling downwards, and I couldn’t catch a grip fast enough, but my aunt helped me
heal. She went to meetings with the principals to help figure out a plan that will help with not
only bullying, but with cyberbullying as well. She helped form bullying seminars for the schools
within the district, taught the school faculty on the warning signs, method of treatment, and also
how to help students express themselves without feeling out of place. If it wasn’t for my aunt and
the new faculty that were employed at this school, I wouldn’t have been here telling my story. At
least every school should address bullying, or cyberbullying, the other form of it because it will
be personal awareness to not only the students, but also parents and teachers.
Statistic
The statistic that can be considered in this section is that adolescence have been one of
the age where this bullying and cyber bullying increases. It have been observed that the age
group in which bullying is faced majorly ranges in between 11 to 15. This data have been
collected after performing surveys from 42 countries. It have also been observed that boys have

However, in the countries that have a high percentage of bullying record, it have been
