If you are being bullied, just tell someone. I was bullied for a year and a half and eventually wrote a letter to the head of my school. Be strong, and feel confident.
Show the bullies that there is a good side to you. I changed through my experiences. While I was being bullied, I became shy and afraid, I even missed school.
But then I realised that I wasn't the bad person in this, they were. I went through counselling and eventually built up my hopes, focusing on what my strengths and weaknesses were and what I needed to change. This helped me tremendously and I changed.
In some ways the bullying helped me, it made me see that I had strengths that I didn't even know about, all you need to do is find those strengths inside yourself. The ex-bullies and I are now really good friends and everything has worked out. Don't resort to violence, whatever you do. Don't retaliate. Let the bullies know that you will not drop to their level.
