Anyone forced to drop out of high school b/c of bullying?

Post Reply New Topic

I dropped out of school because of the bullying. I was being gossiped about,verbally abused,and sexually harrassed. And the teachers did NOTHING. They Said I deserved it.

I homeschooled for about 3 years,then I got my GED. I'm in college now.

My school and social life have never exactly been stellar, but after I was forced out of the special ed class and into mainstream, it got a whole lot worse.

Mostly verbal. People would take the things I said and did into insults, and quite literally made fun of everything I did. I had also been kicked, bodyslammed and had a table rammed into me.

Several:
.Getting sick of the schoolwork
.Having a major meltdown after one of them opened a door into me before a class, which involved screaming at the culprit, and then kicking a bookcase when no-one would let me finish telling my side of the story
.Throwing my pair of secateurs and knife at a group of morons after some stupid arguement
.Having a mini-meltdown after being left out of every group (even the one including the people who tolerated me) on an excursion a week later
.Being on a modified school program, in which I spent most of my time in the SSO office, either alone or with one of the other "special needs" kids with me, having everyone else stare at me through the windows and bang on the door.

Lots of times, and TBH they did their best to stop it, but these morons wouldn't stop if you pointed a gun at their heads!

Not much, really

Soon after I did Open Access (a program where you take lessons from home over the phone) for about 6 months, but I couldn't cope with that either.

N/A Didn't get one.

Didn't notice there was a questionaire. Here goes:

Well, the first time I remember being left out must have been when I was about 5 and kids just all decided to ignore me. It became systemic in 2nd grade. Leveled off for awhile, then came full-blow when I reached middle school.



Early on, just isolation. Later physical. Later still, mental.



Frankly, it's still quite humiliating.



Yeah. Some helped, some didn't.



I watched my baby sister for about a year.



I got my GED and started community college when I was still 16 and settled in with little problem on a 9th grade education. Learned the valuable lesson that high school really IS a huge waste of time.

Unfortunately, I chose the wrong major and ran into a situation that was partially my fault, partially another case of bullying by a person in a position of power. Anyway, I changed majors (thankfully) and started a new one. Didn't like the new one much either, saw that I was still years from graduating, and basically felt burnt out after 6 years. So I dropped out again, or rather a term ended and I didn't bother to sign up for any new classes.

Fast forward 6 years, I'm back in school again and doing well. When I started again, I made the decision to ignore any career plans and just focus on what interests me. It's made a huge difference in how I look at school (a pleasure instead of a task). Should graduate in the Fall with little difficulty. Then I can decide what to do next.

I wanted to really, really badly in my sophomore year, but my mom wouldn't let me. And I'm glad I didn't either. I'm currently finishing up my last credit of high school in another school district and I love it here!

The bullying I went through at my last two school districts, however, was horrible. It was both mental and physical and the same crap went on from fourth through eleventh grade. It got to the point to whenever I heard it, I felt like I was having a heart attack. And wherever I went, it followed me. I couldn't even leave my own house without a disguise at some points. Yeah, it was that bad. I'd rather not say what it was though.

I was forced out of 6th grade because of bullying, partially from teachers.

I returned for high school, sophomore year. I had grown a lot since 6th grade and was bigger than everyone else for the first time. No physical bullying but there was a lot of mental bullying.

I was bullied all through school, but it was MY decision to leave school and don't blame it on being bullied or the bullies themselves.
A LOT of students get bullied these days, and sometimes it's best to forget about it and just continue with your life...which I didn't do.

I was mainly verbally abused in school by other students and my P.E teacher. I only was physically harmed once.

Innocent bump.

I dropped out of HS twice but not because of bullying. I was, however, relieved not to have to walk down the halls getting stared at because I walked wierd or something, or be bothered in world issues class by this horrible obnoxious classmate and his obnoxious friends who tried to humiliate me.
