Has anyone ever felt or been bullied by others? Throughout my teens, I was bullied quite a bit and it was not fun at all. However, after being knocked down many times, I stood back up and fought back with my words. It didn't always work or bring a successful outcome but I am very happy that I tried. This is a portion of one of my stories and I would love to hear one of your stories. Please share or write to us. Thank you! đ

Iâve felt bullied at different parts of my life but not in the typical way one might expect. I guess if I think about it, I felt I was bullied by just being left out or having friends in my group be left out. Myself or friends were given a cold shoulder, uninvited to a party or disrespected in different ways. Sometimes this is typical teenage behavior but it still stays with us. Instead of standing up for myself, I would let it happen. I guess it wasnât what was said to me more than what was left unsaid. Did anyone have a similar experience as a teen?
