A
I was ever bullied badly when I was in high school． One kid in particular would try to make me feel worse in every way he knew． For example， he would throw stuff at me constantly， hit me on the head， punch（殴打）me， call me ugly and stupid， make fun of me and， of course tell me he would beat me up if I ever fought back． It was like his daily mission．
And it was my daily mission to just get through the day． What could I say？ It made my world very small because that was my main focus---just surviving． Everything else fell by the wayside． Unfortunately， that included any form of social life． So not only was my world tiny， but it was very lonely．
Looking back to that time， which was about 11 years ago， my biggest mistake was not bringing anyone into that world of mine． I was too proud （and embarrassed） to get help． I would rather not face the fact that I needed help because in my mind， that would mean that the bully won． It would also mean that I was weak．
Let me just say this： bullying someone is a weak choice． The only reason why they come after you is that they think you won't do anything about it． Does that make anyone strong？ Absolutely not． Be stronger---ask a parent， a teacher or a friend for help． Simply admit that you are struggling and need help．
You can put it like this， "Somebody who is weak and trying to build himself or herself up has chosen to do that by putting me down． The only reason why they are doing that is that I am nice and I haven't done anything about it yet． Well I am through putting up with this． I have basic human rights that they are trying to take away to feel better and that is just not OK． How do I handle this？ I don't want the pain cycle to continue and I don't want to become someone I don't want to be．
