Why do people have to be like this?

[confusedteenager]

I'm a 14 year old and  I have been bullied ever since preschool. Even though I have transfered schools, since it is only 7 miles away they are still able to bully me and they still do. I get harrassing calls and emails every night and it's frightening! I've been depressed ever since I was in first grade because that's when everything got really bad. I take my anger out on my family since I have bullied so much and I don't like it, I wish I could stop. I have also been mutilizing myself aka slitting my wrist. I cry ever night and I just want to scream all the time!!! Someone PLEASE HELP ME! Tell me what I should do.

I'm sorry bout that, I know how tough it can be to deal with bullies. In elementary school I used to get beat up slot so I changed schools and at first things seemed better but I found out that there were bullies at my new school too and not the kind that beat u up the ones that bully u without touching u which I think is far worse. At least when you get beat up u eventually heal but after what the bullies at my new school did to me I dont think I'll ever heal. Anyway my point is there are always bullies in life and changing schools won't be enough. U should get some couciling so u can deal with the bullies. I hope things work out for u. Let me know what happens.

Oh Sweetie, I'm so sorry you are going through this. I know how difficult this is. My daughter was bullied and picked on from about 6th grade through 9th. It got so bad she was depressed and angry and started cutting herself. She didn't tell me a lot. I finally started seeing the cuts and found a suicide note and immediately got her into counseling. After a year of counseling, she's much better. We also moved her to another school and she's much happier.

First thing first, they have no right to bully or threaten you in anyway. You may need to get the cops involved. First though, you've got to talk to your parents. They may not realize how bad things are for you. Keep a record of threatening phone calls and keep all emails. You may need them if you get the cops involved. You may want to change your email account and anything else you can. Please, please talk to your parents first though! They love you and will do what they can to protect you. You do not have to put up with this!
I'm so sorry you're going through this. It's so unfair. Kids can be so cruel. I hate that! Middle school seems the worst too. High school gets a little better and it's even better once you're out of school. You don't see a lot of adults acting that way. But right now we need to get you through this time in your life. Do you have any friends? Do they know what's going on? How are you meeting up with the bullies if you're now going to a different school? Is there some way to avoid them? Is there some reason why they're picking  on you? Man, I hate this. People can just be so mean. But try and remember that there are a lot of good people in the world too. You've just met some bad ones. Hang in there, Sweetie. I'll keep you in my prayers. Please write back and keep in touch. I do care and I want to know how you're doing. Also, please talk to your parents as soon as possible. Will you do that for me? And then write back and let me know how it went. Hang in there! I'm rooting for you. God bless you. Write back!
Love,
April
