Hey

Well I thought I might share my story for inspiration so here it goes.

When I was in year six I was sleeping over a friends house. The past half hour she had gone quiet. If I had been worried about it at the time I could have saved her. Yes she was the sort of person that you had to put stikki-tape over their mouth just to shut them up! Well she went into her room to get changed. She didn't come out for half an hour so I got up to see if she was okay. She wasn't she had commited suicide (won't go into details how). And that when my life started to go downhill (in other words turn into a s***hole!).
After that I lost all my friends due to a massive fight and had only one friend left I was distraught. After just losing a friend who could never come back I lost everyone else in my life that mattered. I became seriously Deppressed.

In year seven I had one friend to start with (I have never been popular) but then I began to make friends even though I was deppressed and no-one knew (year seven in Australia you move schools). Then the bullying started. About my speech problem and about my weight. This is when i started to have a downfall at school. I got an Eating Disorder (otherwise known as ED). I told my year Co-ordinator about the bullying it stopped but I still felt deppressed. So about 2 months after that I told her about being Deppressed. And I had to go to the School Counsellor. I think back to last year and I think it helped but then again maybe not.

Now I'm in year 8 my parents know nothing about my ED or about my Deppression. I have acomplished alot by just telling people. Thinking back to last year I realised that I had a Boulder in the way of my life and I had to move it which is what I am doing at the momment. I don't live at home anymore I live with my nan. But am in a hospital to cure my ED at the momment. I encourage anyone who is feeling Deppressed or getting bullied to speak up abput it. It may save your life. Even if you start to feel as if your fat tell some one! I odn't want anoyone in a huge hell hole like I am at the momment!

Wow sounds rough. I'm glad you were able to pick yourself up and get help. So many people don't want to help themselves, and it's a shame. Thanks for sharing, and best of luck!

That was very touching teagz, it goes to show that making that step to telling someone about the bullying really does end it. It really made me think, i iwsh i had told someone about the bullying that happened to me, i weathered it and maybe it has had an effect on me. Your friend killied herself at the age off 11, poor you, thats a sight i wish no one see's.

.

Hope the light at the tunnel has come for you now.

Your willingness to admit your problem
and overcoming it could be an inspiration to others.
You could help someone.

LOL Curios Ive never been popular and I don't really want to be tho who cares having a bunch of cronies who do everything you do or you have people who are scared of you? nah I'd rather stay the softy I am even if ya want me to become popular I don't care lol.

Oh and Dream all my friends that I have now always come to me if they need support or help. I have been to numorious (think dats how its spelt) School Counsellors meetings to help my friends because they are to afraid of going by themselves. Though some hate telling me about their probs because they know that I have probs too but I don't care it has sorta helped me by helping other people just knowing I'm not the only one going through Deppression and all really helps!
