I was bullied by one specific person relentlessly through high school and it even followed me into college. At the time I thought I did everything right- I told teachers and school staff, I told my parents, I told my friends, I tried to get anyone around me to help me stand up for myself. But I still couldn't escape my bully. I had to be very honest with myself when I looked back on the experience and realize I was doing some things wrong. I kept trying to make my bully like me and have her realize I wasn't as bad as she wanted to make me feel. And I still hung out with people that were attached to her, which kept me too close to the situation. From my experience, I realized that I shouldn't have responded at all and I should have tried to find ways to remove myself from situations involving her all together. It is never your fault that someone is harassing you, but there are ways to make sure you are safe. And don't let anyone make you feel anything less than wonderful!

In a nutshell, it's because you're "different". You might be more competent than other people, just nice to everyone, perhaps the quiet one in the corner... It doesn't matter. If you stand out, they want to pick on you. Why? It's to compensate for their own weakness and frustration.

Usually the most brightest, funniest and most talented people are targeted. You know why, because they want to see you fail and fall . They are jealous, and there number one thing they want to do is get an reaction

I'm different from my other classmates. I'm quiet and self-conscious, and I don't have many friends.

I'm sorry to hear you're being bullied. People can sure be mean. But what those bullies don't reflect on you, it reflects on the bully. I know we can't change the bullies, but we can change how we react to them. So why are you the target? Well there are lots of possibilities. Bullies are mainly jealous of you; maybe you are friendly or athletic or a high achiever. They will do all they can to bring you down, to make you feel less than yourself. They may also be doing it because you may stand out (in a good way) and the bullies want to take that spotlight away from you. No way at all should you change to stop these bullies! Stay the way you are my friend, you're blessed with such great gifts and no one should be able to bring you down for having that specific gift. Stay Strong! :)

You might be shy and quiet or the so called geek that everyone wants to pick on. Bullies see kids that are easy targets like shy kids, nerds , they might look weak. Bullies pick on kids to take the embarrassment of them and go to other person. Bullies are cruel and think they are tough but in reality they are struggling with something just like everyone else. Be kind to everyone.

Anyone can become a target for bullying. However, it is important to stay strong in the face of bullying and not accepting the bullying behavior. Be brave and draw the boundary. Sometimes, it's good to just walk away. However, there are times when you need to be assertive so that the bullying will not repeat. Tell the person what specifically they are doing is not acceptable and politely request them to stop the behavior. Remember, neither you nor anyone deserves to be bullied. Do not quietly accept the bullying. If you can't face the bullying yourself, talk to someone and get someone to help. Please do not suffer in silence.

Bullies usually target those whom they are envious of, it stems from their own self hatred you may be a target because you're too kind to fight back or simply because they feel in superior to you this maybe in terms of physical, emotional or intellectual strength.
