Here's what some of us have faced:
I have been bullied by someone calling me names and disrespecting my culture. They have also been racist. I was also bullied in the beginning of the year because last year I used to cry a lot so they would ask me “are you going to cry?”
I was bullied last year when I was told that I didn’t need to dress up as a moose for the Christmas concert because I am already brown.
I have been bullied about a tick sound that I make and about having ADHD.
I’ve seen bullying a few times. Once I saw bullying over social media and when I saw it, I texted the person and told them to apologize and delete the post. A few times people have talked about me badly, but I’ve confronted them.
I’ve seen bullying many times at school and I’ve never done anything to stop it. I’ve just watched it because I felt uncomfortable. I felt really bad after I bullied people.
I was picked on for the colour of my hair and the freckles on my face. I got called freckled face strawberry
I was a victim to bullying when I was called “mean beaver girl” names for a week because I had braces and my two front teeth faced different directions, which made them look like wonky beaver teeth.
How we feel in these situations:
I feel like people don’t really accept me for you I am and it doesn’t feel good.
I felt out of place and very offended
I felt hurt, alone and that nobody could like me because of my smile/teeth
I felt unwanted in the world. I’ve gone home and cried in my bedroom.
I feel like people don’t treat me like everyone else because I was brown and I felt really sad and felt left out.
I felt disrespected and treated like I was trash.
I felt sad because she was racist to me and my culture.
I felt very hurt and treated like trash and when people said stuff about my culture, it hurt me. Everyone should be treated equally.
