Hello, people from the land of V. Green here with another school thread. So, I'm not in my regular mood right now. I'm here to share on how did my Grade 7 journey went. I know there's still 1.5 month of work left, but still.

It.Was.Horrible. Period. This is the first time I had a very bad school year. Almost everyone in my class are being extremely rude and mean towards me. I barely have friends. My class is the worst class you could imagine. I've been bullied a lot. Here are four major problems that I noticed about my class:

-People don't know how to live with each other.
-People don't know how to respect each other.
-People don't know how to tolerate each other.

And most importantly...

-People don't show mercy towards each other. I've always been picked on. Also, whenever we're playing sports, all of the boys ignore me, as if I didn't play with them. WHAT THE HELL!? Almost 98% of my class are bullying me. They have small brains, or the smallest brains... I feel like I'm the smartest one in my class. I had enough. Oh, and guess what? I made other friends, but these people said things bad behind my back. 

My school life is cruel. I hope they suffer the same pain that I suffered from them. Well, it's almost done, but I can't wait to be at home, June 30th, at 2 PM. Sorry if I sounded rude, but I wasn't in my original mood, and I just had enough of this stupid class.

That's typically how Grade 7 is in my country... but we call it 7th grade instead, so we just flipped the words around. I was trying to blend in with the "cool kids" in 7th grade and that didn't work, it just made things worse, so my 7th grade was horrible too. I really don't like talking about it, but I will since I want to make you feel better.

I barely had friends in 7th grade either, I mainly had people that took advantage of me, ditched me, or teased/bullied me. I made a lot of bad decisions so I deserved it. However, you don't. This school year has been a test of your patience, concentration, behavior, and hope. In the end it'll make you stronger.

7th grade is usually when most people take a turn for the worse, and it lasts the rest of the school years, even through college. We good students that are left have to learn to handle it well and not let it ruin our limited time in school. We also have to keep trying our best, even if all the friends we make ditch us and everyone else bullies us.

They don't have small brains, they're just not using them as well as they should be. Don't wish that they suffer too, that just makes you more angry and anger feels terrible. However, forgiveness feels amazing. Try your best to forgive them, even if they're still doing their usual misbehaving.

Things will get better. You just have to wait for it and try your best to push through it, like I did. It's worth it

Ah seventh grade. Sucks for everyone lol...

Well, my 7th grade school year is one of my best years in school, oddly enough . 6th was the worse for me.

I'm sure 98% of people at your school isn't bullying you. That's a big percentage, and it seems exaggerated to me. This is what I think happened here, if it seems like 98%.

1. They put you in a bad class so that the bad kids would get better. That rarely works, and sometimes turns the good kids suicidal or into a bad kid.

2. The teachers aren't paying enough attention. If that many kids are being rude to you, there is no reason why the teachers shouldn't notice. Maybe the school needs better teachers .

3. Maybe you did something to aggravate that response. Don't take this personally, but take it as me telling you about my experiences. I got bullied a bit in elementary school. Reason? I was too sensitive, and I cried about everything. I got overly defensive when people would tell me about it. I never did get better until 7th grade, and that's when school became a lot better. Now, it's not your fault if your friend talks about you behind your back, but if it's a random person, it might be your fault a little bit. I sorta doubt it, though.

I would prefer a response, since I can't help you much more if you don't.

Well I'm sorry you had to go through all the bullying. I also had to go through tons of it growing up. I will tell you that in coming years they will mature a bit more and it should be a bit better. It just takes time and 7th grade is one of those rough years 

Honestly, just put up with it for another year. 9th, if not 10th grade is probably when you will have the best and worst memories of school. Everything only goes uphill from 11th on (for me). I'm looking forward to college next year . Also with the whole bullying thing, the most common reason for bullying someone is that at some point they were also bullied. Just always keep that in the back of your head. Your bullies might have a bad family life, maybe such as divorced parents, or just also being bullied and taking anger out on you because from what I've read you sort of seem like an easy target for those kinds of people.

PacmanandMariofan : Well, I didn't mean they really have 'small brains', but I meant that their not using it well.

Fake Local Mods Summon : PacmanandMariofan has already answered this and said everything worth being said. Please close. Kidding of course, but he did give good advice.


Ah, green. I'm sorry to hear this, man. I can't really imagine why anyone would want to be mean to you, you're a really cool guy and couldn't be any nicer.

Still, people do these things sometimes for no reason other than they're trying to make it through a tough time in their lives just like you are, and for some reason picking on someone outside of their group helps them feel better.

Really in the end that's most likely what it is: a bunch of kids in their own groups who all pick on the other kids that aren't in their group because they all think that's what the other members of their group want them to do. They're mean because they want to fit in just like you want to fit in. Does that make it right? No. Does it excuse them for bullying one of the most awesome guys I know another kid? Heck no! Still, it's something to think about. Maybe it'll help you to think about how they're likely just as confused and upset at school life and entering the teen years and all that entails as you are, and this is how they're venting those emotions.

So as Pac said, try to forgive them, and try not to take it to heart. They're struggling too, and in reality probably don't really mean you any harm, they just want to survive this too.


Regardless of reasons, hang in there green, and never resort to their tactics. Things will eventually get better, and this will all be a distant memory. When that happens, life will still be awesome, your true friends will still be awesome, and most importantly YOU will still be awesome.

Eirinn : Well, they need to aplogize me first. I wasn't the one who started all of these problems. Always the one starts who starts a drama is his/her fault. I can forgive anyone's actions, but I can't forget them... I'm glad to everyone who replied to this thread and supported me. I feel better

greenluigi : grade 7 is first year of high school in Scotland (over here you have 7 years of primary which starts when you are 5 school and 6 years of high school in total which ends when you turn 18. School is mandatory for 11 years,so when you are 16, other than that it is up to the individual and the school). It is always like that in first year. Everyone goes immature all of a sudden and it can be absolute chaos. All of the idiots find each other and make their own groups. All of the idiots go away by fourth year. I am in fifth year away to go to sixth year which makes me the top dog (last year of school =o) I feel sorry for the bullying but I hope you manage till the end of the year. I was alright in "grade 7" as I got along with most people so I really don't have much in the way of advice.

I feel you dude. It only gets worse, but it also gets better. Trust me. Im almost out of High School. you'll make it. I promise.
