the fake accountIt first started when a fake account was made and played by some 8th graders at my school. They would disturb my posts by saying mean and untrue stories about me. I told my mom and I ignored them, but a few days later prank calls came every few minutes, it was the people who made the fake account. Later on, all the 8th graders went on a trip to the courthouse in downtown. We were coming back to the school and a few guys decided to call out my name, continuously. The name-calling is still going on until now but somewhere along that time they made a pack of most of the boys to bully me wherever in the school I go. Of course I told the office about it about 5 or 6 times but they let go of the subject after giving them lunch detention; The office told me that they had nothing else to do and not to come back anymore about the subject. But just today (3/8/13) I told a part of the 'gang' to stop or else I will call their parents. I guess they were discussing that subject the whole day because the 'leader' screamed out " _______ wants my parents number!!!" out loud in PE. He was then given a referral to the principal office! - An 8th Grade Girl at BHMS-

love pentagonPeople would make fun of me and put me in a love pentagon, yes, pentagon, with these 5 other guys because I would hang out with them a lot. The people who made fun of me were always in my classes and my lunch period and whenever I would hang out with the 5 guys, they would show up and start shoving me into the other guys and singing the classic K-I-S-S-I-N-G songs. It embarrassed me so much and I couldn't hang out with my guy friends in fear of those people showing up. But soon, I learned "Who cares?" I started hanging with my guy friends again, ignoring the constant insults. Soon, they grew tired of making fun of me, and they quit. Looking back, those insults and comments still hurt because they thought that I liked my friends because I hung out with them. Just remember, don't let anyone make fun of you for who you hang out with.BACK -- 7th grader at BHMS
names
BACK
People have called me names. Fat, hippo, pig, and my favorite… “the snitch”. It
Seems like the more I try to fit in the worse it gets. I have a cut as a result of
bullying. I just want to help people who are being bullied because I know what it's
like. Also by standing up for myself, it sometimes can make me look like the bad guy.
I'm at a loss. I just can't figure out why people can be so mean just because someone
is different or isn't straight. When I try to stand up for someone who is being
bullied, I come across as the bully. I don't know what to do.

name callingThere’s a guy who keeps teasing me about my name and making fun of how I look. Every time I tell him to stop he never listens to me. It got worse at P.E. While we were playing handball he keep calling me stupid, brainless,dumb, ugly, and a lot of other names.
---I DON'T Like It!---

acting so innocent
BACK
Dear "The Revealers" Girls,
I am normally a fun, bubbly, and happy girl. It hasn't always been that way. This story starts two years back, in 5th grade a girl would call me names, spread rumors about me, and she would always harass me. I felt insecure and was mentally dead. I finally went to get help but they said, "It's too late for help." Then I got in trouble!! So the bullying continued in 6th grade. She tried to make her hair look like mine by dying it brown but it turned out orange... Then the harassment reached it's peak. When I was walking home with my clarinet she pushed me into the street. I got hurt a bit and my instrument was fine (thankfully!), but my phone was broken. When I reported this, she claimed that it was an accident and her friend pushed her into me. I could tell she was lying by the way she gave me a little smirk when I was panicking and crying. I don’t think I'll ever TRULY forgive her...

We asked the students at BHMS to take a survey in order to prove our hypothesis. These are the results of the survey.
-22% of students said they ALWAYS witnessed bullying going on at school-37% of students said they OFTEN saw it happen -29% of students said they witnessed bullying SOMETIMES- 10% of students said they saw bullying happen only RARELY- and 0% of students said they NEVER witness bullying

Less statistics
4 out of 5 students have either been bullied firsthand or seen someone else being bullied.
The students who took the survey were asked to tell us the types of bullying that most frequently occurred at BHMS. The majority of the students said that Indirect Bullying [gossiping, shunning, etc] happened the most, followed by Verbal [insults, etc]. Physical [fights, etc] gained the least votes.
Bullying definitely happens and students are aware of it
Indirect Bullying, which is known to be frequent among girls more than boys, occurs the most frequently at our school, while Physical Bullying, which are fights, occure the least.
