Hello friends, good evening,how was your day??mine was great.
So, am super excited to be participating in this month topic BULLYING.
I must say most of the recent topic are things that reflects me and am ready to share.
My whole life, have gone through the act of bully either by friends, family, neighbors,my love ones even strangers.
Have been Bullied physically, emotionally, educationally, mentally and otherwise.
Bullying is not just a bully,you know often times when am Bullied I don't tell my parents because I used to think it's hostel life, that being bullied is normal thing every student have to go through but as I upgraded I discovered been Bullied is an illicit act.
In these topic am going to be using my self as an illustration because have been through this.
As a child,I was physically bullied through the use of beating, fighting, pinching, excessive punishment is bully,the was a time when I was in jss3 my senior student told me to use my white pant to mop the common room floor which was massive dirty and when am done I should wear it again that was bully and when I insisted I can't wear it again she beat me mercilessly,but I couldn't tell my parents either because this was the challenges we had to face as junior students in the hostel infact me telling my parents and them reporting to the school authority means double of what I was given it wasn't easy but I still passed through it.
Then when it comes to beatings,I don't really think have gotten beatings from home the way I get From school
Yes,my teachers beating me is to discipline me or correct me with a cane is normal,but seniors using Cutlass to beat the sole of our feet is abnormal and then expect us to use this same feets to run to our different hostels ha it was hell we were Bullied in the name of seniority.
What about them getting half of our provisions From us to satisfy themselves.
There was a time I was to take my nap and it was damn hot then I was called to fan them till they sleep off all this act of bullying we passed through the school authority weren't aware of it because of the fear they instilled in us.
Another one is I was bullied verbally,that is the use of words.The words we speak matters alot.
Back then I wasn't the smartest student neither was I the dumbest I can say I tried my best.But someone outside will come and use words to discourage and make me fill worthless, infact the Will remind you your past failures.The abusive words that comes out From our mouth will either bring negative or positive results.Sometimes someone will tell me you are a Bitch ha I can't be a bitch when I haven't accepted to be one
But I know I have pass through this verbal bully which has an effect on me now
Then bully from peer groups.This one hurts me alot, these set of people aren't my friends ooo maybe just some random persons who are of the same age with me or even my classmates.it hurts when you feel everyone hates you,no one seems to care what or who you are,but all of them Knows your weaknesses and hurt you with it.
I can remember when I wanted participating in a class program,I was shocked when my classmates said no that I can't participate because I love being alone, because am ugly, because I don't know how to talk, because am not tall they even drew my head and nose on the white board,I was humiliated,mocked, depressed,I was treated as trash infact that moment I started hating myself
What of bully from friends
Which is mostly girls,they are fond of doing this.
That is the reason I don't have friends because they used to make me feel less of myself,I hated myself
In schools you will definitely see cartels, people have their own clique of friends while I was always alone, crying, regretting my existence infact most times when you are Bullied too much,suicide will always pop in.
I remember when I tried making friends I was rejected,I was mocked they said I can't walk with them because I am ugly,am short,am not their level or type,am black you know,I was actually discriminated even me self I started looking down on myself,I lost my self confidence, courage,I even lost my personality,I had low self-esteem because of the environment I saw myself.
There was even a time I told my parents I don't want to go to school anymore because of the rate of bullies we had,I don't want to go again because nobody wanted to be my friend.But now am doing very well without them.
But of recent when I started University,I still had that mentality, until I met a friend,mentor,teacher he is even more than this he pays every single attention to me,he gives me that reason to live again,he restored alot back to me he is bringing out the best in me and he tells me am such a wonderful person which I know I am,he restore my life back and am happy to see the girl am turning to become.Am really grateful to him.
So, been Bullied comes in different types and forms, anyone can be bullied irrespective of the gender or level you are.
For me bullying is something that has to be dealt with seriously.i don't even pray for my enemies to be Bullied cos it hurts,it painful.
