Have you ever been bullied in college?

**Sk!TtLeS B** wrote: To answer your question, no I have not been bullied since middle school (really, high school if we want to count what butthurt ass exes have done), but I understand your frustration.  Honestly, a lot of the advice given in this thread has not been good. "Standing up for yourself" in the way they're suggesting isnt easy (both in practice and mentally) when you feel like you're in this by yourself and when whomever your standing up against seemingly has an army, and it could honestly start more problems for you. Please use the resources and suggestions I gave you in my last post and start doing things that make you happy. I know that situations like this could have you questioning your self worth and I see that it has you questioning whether or not your life is worth living, and I want to tell you that it is.  Until you can speak to someone professionally, please try to find something you find enjoyable to at least take your mind off of it briefly.

yeah I got a vibe that it must be the OP's fault, and her's only, that this has happened to her

Yep, I was bullied and called anorexic by a group of male students everytime they saw me. I doubt that half of them graduated.

The world needs people like you.

oh so she's real?

hold on

I remember being bullied almost to death in all my grades up to high school. I definitely wasn't taking that sh!t in college too, where I actually pay?! Hell naw.

OP

Life isn't easy. Yours does sound incredibly complicated but there are ways to deal with it. You can see yourself as the victim, or see these issues as things that refine your character and prepare you for things ahead. The first step is to no believe or buy into the things that are said about you. Take some inventory of yourself and appreciate the strengths and gifts that you do have.

I have no idea what you look like but even if you don't have the mainstream aesthetic of beauty, you are still valued and worthy of love and respect. Don't sell yourself short.

I've had some experiences that could have been considered bullying now that I think back but at the time I was like.....why are these girls spending all of their time on me? People only do that when you make yourself available as a target. Live your life and do you!

And you say you're an artist. Some of the most beautiful art has come from pain. Write poems. Write short stories where the victim becomes the hero. Write whatever is on your heart because one day this could be in your autobiography. Make up songs. Doodle. Paint. Dance. Pray. Do whatever you need to to shake the sting of whatever has happened.

Read a few biographies. Some of the most prolific and influential people of our time had it ROUGH!!!!

It all starts with a decision to not let it define you. Then figure out what you want to be defined by.
