I have suffered from bullying and attempted suicide because of bullying so the more people that read about 'The Bully Project' the more awareness about the effects of bullying are raised!
Thank you.

I don't know why people negged it so much, but it just shows what kind of people they are honestly lol. I have suffered bullying too and I know exactly how you feel, and it's way more serious than people realise. The psychological damage is far worse than any physical damage that can happen as a result.
Jacob_96 apparently there was a radio show last night and everyone was told to neg it, so they did, without reading it! Sorry to hear you have suffered from bullying, the psychological damage is definitely worse! I'm 18 years old now. Have a loving, supporting family but I still can't walk into a lecture hall without becoming very nervous at the thought of people seeing me walk past. I am so self conscious about the way I look because I was bullied about it for my whole school life. I struggle to make friends or hold down a relationship. I rarely let my walls down, meaning nobody really knows the real me. It's pathetic, I know, but people who have been bullied will understand!
Mat123 I know EXACTLY how you feel, that is literally my life now lol. I mean my confidence has gotten better but I am still very socially awkward, I'm pretty comfortable with my close circle of friends at least and eventually it makes you a stronger person. I mean it was 3 years ago since it happened now I guess but I still have psychological effects from it. Although I do know about 3 of the people who used to torment me are now drug dealers so in the end you're going to win. :)
Jacob_96 Sorry to hear that man :( I was bullied from the age of 7 to 17 very badly. So I'm still getting used to being able to actually answer a question in a lecture whilst other people are there and stuff! I don't really have any close friends - I have 2 friends that can make me laugh and stuff, but I'm the guy that sits there and just smiles, not the one that is invited out to events with them. I just struggle to get involved with conversations and activities with everyone. When everyone goes out drinking, I feel a lot more comfortable being in my room by myself going online onto sites like Tengaged, Tumblr and so on and being myself, where nobody I know can see me! It's pathetic, I know! I starved myself and lost a ridiculous amount of weight - i'm still not skinny, but I'm far from the weight I was - all because of being bullied and thought it would change the way they looked at me, but It just continued. When I wasn't being called fat, it was ugly or gay and so on! There's always something it seems! Urgh! Sorry! Ranting on! haha!
Mat123 Hey it's okay, it's always better to express how you're feeling rather than bottling it up. I'm 18 now and got bullied from about 8 - 15 so I can speak from experience that eventually it does pick up. I mean I have more friends now than I did when it was a year after it had all happened, you will naturally grow and begin to like yourself again. It takes a while, I'm still getting there but I certainly am beginning to accept how I look and believe that I am no longer the "ugliest person in the world" as I used to believe myself to be.
Jacob_96 Really glad that you're making more friends and growing to like yourself again! It's definitely inspiring to hear that people can come back from such low places! Thanks for helping me out! :)
