Is it normal to think it was all my fault that i got bullied?

Middle schoolers are the worst. Not ur fault, they thrive on patting their own egos

You shouldn't blame yourself for the fact they hate you. They were probably looking for someone easy to pick on, and since you don't have a group of friends, you're a sitting duck to their attacks. Try to find some people to hang out with. You don't even have to like them, but it will help a lot.

It's a vicious circle: the less friends you have, the more you get bullied, and the more you get bullied, the less friends you have.

The weird thing is that I swear you are describing me when I was that age! Starting in 6th grade.. and when the teacher said to find a partner I would be like, 'oh f**k' bcuz i knew i wouldn't be able to find one. I would pretend to be sick so i wouldn't have to go to school, while my mom just thought i was lazy. I couldn't even tell her about it. It was really hard! Now I am 38, and if I could go back in time and know what i know now. I don't know about you, but i was fat back then bcuz i ate all the worst foods and i was just prone to weight gain. I would say, stop eating fast food/processed food and start eating healthy organic food. I don't know what your capability of obtaining such food but if you talk to your family about it, I promise you it will REALLY help a lot! If you start eating right and find some sort of exercise that you enjoy, regardless of what it is, you will glow from the inside out. Also those foods not only hurt your physical being but cause depression. Not only will you feel better physically but it will help your self confidence. And self confidence is very attractive. Hang in there, kiddo.

Alright you might be an easy target but it does not mean its your fault. Some people are weird, don't fit in, or just too confident for people to handle.

People will side with the majority and if your not with it you are probably an out cast. People with large egos often try to find people to bully since they feel bad about them selves, they will try to convince everyone they are great, they will do this by finding a single to target to belittle. Usually one who isn't very popular or shy and doesn't get along with others too well. They also usually come with a gang to back them up.

Some bullies have issues in their life and will attack people who don't have those issues. So if your confident and they are not they attack you, if there parents are divorced and theirs are not they will attack you.

If its the bully in front of a crowd that they are not well acquitted with it sometimes help to point out their flaws. You just will end up embarrassing them.

Dude, bullies ruined my life. I dropped out of 6th grade because of them. I been homeschooled ever since I left. Around the time I went to 8th to 9th or highschool, I had some friends though friends of their friends. That was really the only way to interact. Now that i'm finished with highschool well, I think one friend is left. That's my best friend. I've known him since we were babies. Our mothers known each other and that is how we became best friends. Anyways its not your fault that your bullied. Even though it feels like it. It made me want to commit suicide. I think from being bullied so much I feel permanently scared with being depressed. Still do feel that way, and its been about 7 years since I been in school. Its hard man. Don't worry your not alone.

The first thing you have to do is stand up against YOU. It isn't your fault that they bully you, but understand that only you have the power to come out of the ditch you built for yourself. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. When I was in middle school, I was just like you. I got bullied everyday, I had no friends and, yeah, I hated myself. I thought it was all my fault. Truth is, it kind of was my fault because I'm me and there was nothing I could do to change that, but never let someone tell you who you can and cannot be. When I hit 9th grade, I went through an epiphany. I like to call it my "not giving a shit" epiphany. At this point in my life, I stopped caring about what other people thought of me, I stopped trying to fit it, and I embraced the very thing that they bullied me for. I didn't give them the power. They called me weird, psychotic and every derogative name in the book and I everyday, I wrote that shit on my arm with eyeliner pencil and wore to school, decorated and beautiful. It was a tattoo that symbolized "I don't give a shit". I won't deny, my "bring it on" attitude didn't rid the bullies but, at this point, I ate their bullying up like a can of spaghetti. I laughed at THEM. I didn't give a shit anymore. And anything anyone ever said to me only empowered me because I knew I had something over them, pride, confidence, and self esteem.

Let me tell you something about bullies. Bullies bully because they see someone who is weaker than them whether it is because they themselves have low self esteem, they come from a fucked up home, they're spoiled and have more than they deserve, whatever. The more you feel sorry for yourself, the worse they will treat you. No one's going to see your sadness and give you a hug. You have to do that for yourself. Don't give them the power. They don't deserver it.

Is it your fault they bully you? No.
Can you change it? Probably not.
But can take control of your life? Yes. You can. The power is yours. Embrace the very thing that they pick on you for. Love the reason that they hate you. Know that you are better than those people could ever be and the fact that they bully you is almost ironic. Don't blame yourself. Take control of your life. And never ever give those sons of bitches the power you've been giving them.

Who you are is amazing, and that's why they hate it. Love the fact that you are not as low as they are, and be proud of yourself.

Good luck to you, sir (or ma'am)!
