Hello, if it is all the same I will choose not to use my name here, but know that I am a real survivor. When I was in elementary school I was diagnosed with Asperger's and associated with that dyslexia and ADHD. Throughout the rest of elementary school I was in special education and therapy. For me the negative stigma that surrounded special ED did not exist until I was in middle school. The teasing began in 5th grade and would not relent until my senior year of high school.

My parents had never told me that these social anxieties and learning disorders made me inferior, so I had dreams and aspirations just like everyone else. People talked down to me, and because of my social anxiety I was virtually in-able to stand up for myself. they called me stupid and retarded, and what was worse I even started to believe them. I wanted to be a Nurse, however, there were even adults who treated me different because of the way I am. I'll never forget my senior year of high school meeting with a counselor who suggested that a pick a different career because the pre-reqs for nursing would be too difficult. For me that was the worst part of it I was not seen as equal and I was not expected to accomplish much.

Fast-forward to now, I am 21 years old, I go to a respected state university and was recently accepted into nursing school. Moral of the story, all the oceans water can only make you sink if you let it in, just as all the negative things that happen to you can only bring you down if you let them. You are beautiful, you are smart, you are always enough. If there is a kid reading this trying to find encouragement, I hope this helps, and trust me... It gets better. We are all extraordinarily different, and different does not mean wrong.

Love, A conqueror

When children watch celebrities on stage or in a movie, they often think that these people are the luckiest in the world. In reality, many of them have suffered the same way or even more during their teen years. Rihanna was bullied for not being “black enough”, Chris Colfer was stuffed into school lockers and Jusitn Timberlake was constantly called a sissy for choosing music over sport.

Unlikely the above mentioned celebrities, our generation is experiencing a slightly different problem – cyberbullying. And although it is pretty much the same, there is one difference. Kids don’t see each other, there is no face-to-face contact, which makes them a sort of immunity. This article is dedicated to those parents wishing to inspire their children to stand up to cyberbullies though the stories of the today generation teen celebrities.

Demi Lovato.

 Multi-platinum recording artist and the youngest judge on “X-Factor” is one of the most active participants in anti-bullying campaign. She admits to be heavily bullied in school because of her weight. She suffered from both bulimia and even anorexia. In her latest interview she shared her bullying experience: “I was changing clothes after gym, when one of the older girls accused me in stealing her clothes, which I didn’t. More girls came, the “bully type girls”, who were bigger than me, who were ready to fight. I ran out of the locker room and hid in the bathroom while the girls were still chasing me. Fortunately I had a cell phone to call my mom and ask her to pick me up”.

She also underlines that cyberbullying is even worse as there are no teachers or parents to help. “These things should be monitored with a help of parental controls or even manually” she says. According to her words, the most help bullies victims are seeking is to be heard and supported. She says that anyone who stands up for a victim in a real life or online can become a hero for that person.

Miley Cyrus.

 A scandal celebrity and a famous singer/actress has suffered from bullying as much as other children or even more.

She says: “I went through a time where I was really depressed, I even locked myself in a room so my dad had to break my door down”. She also confessed that her bullies were girls only, challenging her to fight by pushing and calling her names.

Right now, she takes an active part in “making Twitter a better social media for celebrities to stop negativity cyberbullying brings”. She also says that while it is understandable that people who hide under their computers cannot be taken seriously, it should be prevented in any possible way. Miley is not afraid to speak out, although she has been bullied by a great number of people. She managed to ignore negativity, by writing a book “Miles to go” where she tells all about her school years and bullying experience.

Justin Bieber.

There is probably no point in saying who Justin Bieber is. Today teen-star, singer, dancer and as we see an active anti-bullying activist. He firstly reached out to the audience concerning bullying and cyberbullying problems on the Ellen’s Show in 2010.

He said: “You should help out because you can be next”. He also admits to be bullied at school because of his sport achievements: “Whenever I was better at something than others, I was bullied, they called me show-off. And I also didn’t have many friends ever since I can remember. You just have to support others, don’t ignore when notice others being bullied, stand up for others”.

 Big part of Justin’s concert program is dedicated to teen’s problems. He even asked Casey Heynes, a YouTube hero who stood up to his bully in Australia, to join him on a stage. Justin admits that he is constantly experiencing all types of bullying, the latest being “Men Health” magazine with Justin being on the cover. The article opens with words that Justin is only famous because he has managed to steel attention from girls by becoming one of them.

Selena Gomez

Selena is a famous teen actress/singer who has shared a lot of personal stories about bullying and online bullying. She said that ever since she was a kid she was bullied by the elders because she was in show business. Things got only worse when she started dating Justin Bieber- an icon for teenage girls who were screaming with hate and jealousy towards Selena. The comments she receives cannot but shock anyone who still believes in something.

The latest message she received on Twitter was from a girl who said:”I hate you, I hope you and your family have cancer and die”. Conversely to other celebrities who have been bullied, Selena’s suggestion is not to retaliate and stop bullies with kindness.

What parents and teachers can do to prevent cyberbullying:

I'm currently a Junior in High School and three girls two seniors and a junior were constanly picking on me and my sister.They called called us racial slurs as the n word also called us camals and made death threats such as they will beat the s word out of us till they'd kill us and people were laughing which hurt so bad and they're like the popular people in school.

I'm Rachelle Mae. I'm 15 years old. 

And this is my story

I was Grade 5 when I gotten bullied.

Those people who bullied me were Grade 6 kids.

The reason they bullied me was because I was the only Pinoy (filipina) in there school. Most were their race. They mocked me because I didn't know how to speak their language. They push me down everytime I pass through the halls. There was even a time they would take my backpack and dump it in the trashcan near the kindergarten section of the school. They take my stuff then return it broken or ripped. They bullied me and yet I stood up, just because someone can't speak your language, it doesn't give you the right to judge someone's being. What if you were at another country and you couldn't speak their language? Would you bully them too because they don't speak your language?
