how ive dealt with the bullying

2007-11-21T14:10:00Z

if i'm honest i'v never really dealt witht the bullying, i've tried 2 ignore it but as life cna be very manic that didnt always work. i did on a few occasions tell teh teachers but this guy was bullying alot of people so nothing was really going to stop him and the otehrs were pretty much the same. I was lucky as for most of the bullying i did have really good friends but they did sorta just tell me 2 shrug it off which is easy said than done! i wished i had told the teachers more often now, as maybe it would have dne some good. Nothing actualyl ever got sorted out, but they just got bored i guess, and it does stil go on but not as much. People still bully me fr me and they still talk about my sister as if i'm not there but as more things have coem into my life its made me think how much i shuldn't let the bullying get to me. This guy has scard many people in our school and the other 'group' have still not yet mutared but maybe they will soon. I still get down about it and it does make school life hard but its sometihng i've got used to and for me its part of everyday life.

If any of you are being bullied, as ims rue there are, i rlei wud tell a teacher. nothing was doen in my case cuz i was shy to tell them it kept happening. Make a point of letting them see its not jst "hamrless fun" cuz bullying can get rlei serious nd its made me do a few things id wish i hadnt done.

bullying

2007-11-12T10:49:00Z

i've spend alot of my school life being bullied but only now i'm starting to not cope, but take it as it comes. i've been called names and been pushed but its never gone really far luckily. people used to cal me 'fat' and 'nerdy' 'geeky' etc. it made me feel really nasty inside cuz they were judging me on the way i looked. nd at the time i jst wanted 2 make a gd impression at a new school and do wel, i didn tsee that as being geeky bt they did.

Ive also had the name ' rachels' sister put on me alot, which althugh not a form of bullying, does get anoyying as in my view they cnt b bothered to call you your own name nd cuz everyone knows im rachels sis then they jst think oh well she wnt care, bt i do. sooo fustrating.

people have bullied my isster as wel which always gt 2 me cuz she was 'different'. but its had a effect on me because theyve been talking about her and saying all the things that are naughty shes done and saying how shes rude or w.e nd i was stood right near them. they were using my sister 2 get at me as wel which i felt took it way 2 far.

my life as a young carer

2007-11-08T13:39:00Z

My parents were told my sister had downs syndrome when she was a few days old so i've never known what life is like with a 'normal' sister. But around 4 years ago more responsibility for my sister was being put on me. Its always affected me seeing my friends lives and then comparing it to mine but as time has gone on you appreciate how special they actually are. My sister is now 11 and i'm 14. She's rather clingy to me, but i love her and in my view thats the most important thing. I pick her up from her bus once a week, help her with cutting food, getting undressed/dressed, baths, washes etc, the day to day stuff. To me though, the main thing i help her with is helping other people to understand what she has said. i've watched her speech become alot clearer but it fustrates me when people can't understand her because it fustrates her. she is just coming to the age where she wants to know all about why her mum and dad aren't together and why she is going through the cahnges she is; which i hve 2 admit im finding relli hard. i always put caring for her before my school work but i have some understanding teachers which helps. My dream for my sis is that she gets a job in theatre cuz shes amazing at perfomring!

Well, thats a bit about my life as a young carer and my sister, for anti bullying week.
