It all started with a boyfriend
13 year old female
It all started with a boyfriend. We had been going out for 5 months and things were very tough. We were fighting nearly every night, and I wasn't allowed to talk to my male friends or do anything he didn't like, but he could do whatever he wanted. It got to the point were I had had enough. I broke up with him, and in the same day, he almost got me beaten up. I've always been the girl that felt I was never good enough, my now ex boyfriend told me I was dumb, and I wasn't good enough for anyone. I had massive groups of girls coming up to me, and wanting to kick my head in. I got so scared, I'd go home and cry, and beg mum to not make me go to school. But I still had to go.
Everyday, it got worse and worse. Every night, I would harm myself. Yeah, it hurt but I was trying to feel something, like I wasn't nothing. I kept doing it. I told my closest friend, and she told my mum and dad, I was absolutely furious at her. I went onto the Kids Helpline website, and noticed that they had online web counselling. I gave it a go and the counsellor was brilliant. She was so nice and understanding. She convinced me that hurting myself was not the answer, eventually, and I stopped it.
My parents are now getting me counselling and the girls who threatened me are getting monitored. I still get bullied to this day but I know for a fact that the stuff they say isn't true. I walk into school, head high, smile on my face, and hope that eventually, everything will calm down and begin to stop. For all you kids out there, who are getting bullied or are being told you are not good enough; hurting yourself does not help a single thing, instead, it just makes everything worse and you are good enough, you just have to stay strong and believe in yourself!
