Bad Day......

[Travi1997]

Sigh.... i recently got sharpies. but anyway. im doing a group project and am getting a b- because of the other person. and even though i am in middle school i cried today after gym. my binder doesnt fit in my gym locker but there are bigger ones. today all the bigger ones were taken so i left my binder on the floor. when we came back from gym my binder was emptied out, everything inside of it thrown all over the floor. as i was putting my stuff away, holding in tears because im a 13 y/o boy, i realized my sharpies were gone. thank god i have long hair, because i started crying a little. i am so disappointed and didnt tell a teacher because the god damn gym teacher is so stupid that it would be my fault i didnt put my binder away. i dont see how i can put a 20 inch long binder in a 14 inch long locker with my school clothes also in it. (20 and 14 might be off but still, something big cant go in something small.) i feel like beating the shit out of whoever trashed my binder but idk who it is.

I'm so sorry this happened to you. I've been a victim of bullying before and I know how shitty it is. Bullies are cowards, first and foremost. The mere fact that they would get some sick satisfaction out of trashing then stealing someone's stuff is beyond me. Even though you don't know who did it, that's no reason for you to just lie down and take it. You need to tell someone about this incident. Even if nothing happens and no one gets punished, at least the word will be with the appropriate people (your school principal, etc) in case an incident like this happens again. Keep your head up. As long as you're still fighting, they're losing. I'm always here if you need a talk. <3

don't worry, i'm sure just as you had a bad day there'll be a better good day :/ just know that things like that happen, but you can't forget all the good things in life.. i hope that the next day you have p.e. all goes well =)

yepp well i can come to the easy conclusion that those bullies are major douche bags its ok though, because even though those horrible teachers of your's arent doing anything, you still have family and friends.

and as for those bullies? they are just HUGE losers with major attitude problems and they simply need to realize that while you are creative, (artist, yes? sharpies for drawing?) that they are just soulless horrible people who are too cowardly to do anything that isn't in private.

(hug) its alright, because that was only one day. only one day of your life, and you'll realize that the good days outweigh the bad days. <333

Hey there,

I am sorry that that happened to you. I had something similar happen to me. I had just got a refill on my meds, and my uncle stole them. So I can understand how you are feeling. I think that you should still report the stolen markers. Also, explain that the binder and your clothes can't seem to fit in the locker provided for you. In the future maybe leave your binder elsewhere? In a normal locker maybe? If you have a friend who gets the bigger gym locker, then maybe ask to put some of your stuff in there, and still use the small locker as well.

I know that you are feeling upset, and you have every right to feel as such. However, two wrongs do not make it right. I'm sure I would feel the same as well, though. You just have to remember that karma is coming for these people. Also, remember that these people must be seriously bored with their own lives if they feel the need to do things like that to people. You didn't do anything wrong, and it's likely that it's not a personal attack against you. People usually do these things for their own personal gain. They do it for numbers of reasons: To feel better about themselves, to prove themselves to their peers, a way to cope with issues, etc.

If not having the sharpies have a negative effect on your grades, explain that to the teacher. Explain exactly what happened. Most times, teachers are understanding. Maybe also use alternatives, such as colored pencils, or other markers.

Best of luck!

Hey there,

I'm also sorry this happened to you. Bullies often do what they do because they feel as though they do not have what you have. They're jealous of you. I would suggest reporting the stolen markers. Stealing something, just like any other form of bullying is unacceptable, nobody should have to put up with it.

I'd also suggest asking your friends if you could put your stuff in their locker. If yours is too small, then surely a friend would lend you some space in their locker.

If the gym teacher seems to put you at 'fault' then I'd suggest talking to a teacher you particularly get along with. Bullying under no circumstances is acceptable, and it is a teacher's duty to ensure that all students have a safe and good time in school.
