8th February 2008

I’ve been bullied ever since year 3. In year three i made some "friends" so called and after a year they started turning me away.

They would shout at me and tell me to f**k off and get some friends. After 2 months of wondering the playground alone one of the girls realised what she was doing and apologised. I wouldn’t usually say yes, but i was so desperate for a friend i accepted her apology and we are best friends.

In year 5 I was bullied by a group of boys below me and they would follow me round calling me a f*****g gay and a pouf and all the teacher said was toughen up.

In year six the boy who was bullying me his parents swore at my mum down the fone.

I have told a girl about it who is bullied and i even know the person who is doing it. It is surprisisng how so many people get bullied. eefo is an excellent site and i check it as soon as a computer is free. I am doing a course thing at school to raise my confidense. I am really looking forward to it. You are a great help because it makes me feel like someone is there to help. Thankyou very much.

EEFO Comments on being bullied

If you are being bullied and need some support you should tell someone, if you haven’t done so already, as it really will help to get it off your chest, as the saying goes ’a problem shared is a problem halved!!’

You should try and tell a teacher or tutor that you get on with, as they will help you.  Teachers have a legal duty to combat bullying and to act on information that you pass on. If you feel the school you are in lets you down you can take your concerns to the Local Education Authority.

Or if you would prefer, you could talk to your school nurse as they will have lots of great information to tell you how to overcome being bullied.

If you would prefer to talk to someone outside of school, you can use the EEFO website services section to search for a young person friendly service in your area.  Just type bullying into the keywords and select the area you live in and a list of local EEFO Approved Services will appear.  You could also try speaking to your GP or perhaps you could speak to your parents who will be able to give you lots of advice on how to make this situation better!

Another great place for help is Childline.  ChildLine is the free helpline for children and young people in the UK. Children and young people can call Childline on 0800 1111 to talk about any problem – their counsellors are always there to help you sort out any problems you are experiencing.
