being bullied is taking a toll

since i came out as pan-sexual it seems i have been bullied. it is starting to take a toll on me. i used to be so happy and go lucky all the time. i didnt let others opinion of me affect me. but it hurts. no matter how hard i try not to let it affect me or pretend like it doesnt it really does. i know i try to hide it from my mom but i know she can see the difference and it hurts her. i hate seeing her hurt because of me hurting. it is like im becoming more depressed and secluded then i ever was. i used to go out more then i do now and that shows my mom something is bothering me. ive actually came home from school in tears because of it, i had things thrown at me because of it. i just hope that it stopes because i dont want it to take anymore of a toll on me than it already is.

I'm so sorry booboo , people can be so cruel, I've been bullied for other reasons, it hurts . I hope things get better for you.

Can you report the bullying to a trusted teacher or counsellor? I think you should tell your mother what is going on. Bullying is no longer tolerated in most schools.

i'm sorry you're going through this. i went through a fair bit of bulling for being LGBT too when i was at school. one thing i can promise is that it gets better after school. there are kind, understanding, and accepting people out there waiting to meet you. stay strong. we will survive.

Hi @booboo1224 .

I am so sorry you are having to go through this. Its very cruel and unacceptable behaviour from others.
I know it must really hurt but please try to raise above it as the better and stronger person that you have been in the past.

Please confide in your mum, it sounds like she is concerned about you already and will worry even more in not knowing what is going on.

She will be upset at how others are treating you for sure but will appreciate knowing so she can help.
As lady has already mentioned, bullying is not tolerated in most schools and your teacher /headteacher needs to be made fully aware of the situation by you or probably more effectively from mum.
Your mum will also want to be there for you offering you the support, love and care for your wellbeing as mums do.

I hope this is quickly resolved and does not impact on your personality and social interactions because these people are not worthy of your time.

So so tired

thanks its good to know that it will get easier and im not alone going through this that others such as yourself have gone through it and come out on the other side.

i talk to my mom about it yes and we have talked with the principal about it they got suspended but it seemed to get worse when they came back so i just pretty much gave up on telling anyone at school cause i dont want it to get any worse.

Hi @BooBoo 1224 - like everyone else - I'm very sorry to hear about the bullying. I was bullied as a kid - very quiet and shy gay kid - it was extremely painful. We are wired to socialize with others - so I am sorry to hear you are more isolated, which isn't good. I would just add one thing - first (and more importantly) is becoming comfortable with your sexuality - as comfortable as you can be. If you are cool and calm about your sexuality, comfortable in your own skin, if you can just shrug and say "whatever" (and not break down into tears) then the bullies might choose another target. Bullies are trying to get a reaction from you, if you don't react - not much fun for bullies, the ring leader will eventually become bored. If you have an ally or two who will take your side - that is great too. Take care, we will all be rooting for you.

The trevor project might be a great resource if you're in the US.

www.thetrevorproject.org
"The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25. "

If you tell them that you've gathered methods or made a plan, there's some risk that they'll call 911. Otherwise, I've heard good things about them.

thanks for the information i appreciate it i will keep it
