Kind of funny that I remember the exact dates when things happen on, I know this was a long time ago, but I'd thought I would like to share 2 bullying incidents I had last year on this day, in gym.

Incident 1: Last year during the 1st semester, I had gym last period, when we were waiting for our gym teacher to come to unlock the gym door, these two guys in my gym class decided that it was appropiate to flick lighters around me. I walked away from it because I did not want to be involved, then the guys decided to purposely flick it around me.(These guys smoke on a regular basis.)

One of the guys, who did not have a lighter, was like "You afraid of lighters you wuss!" Then I was like, "NO! I'm just not in the mood to mess around with them." I walked away even further away from the gym door, one of the guy got closer to me, then I ran away, past the landscaping room and outside, then outside, he was flicking it around me. I knew that I had to go to gym at some point, so I just ran back, by the time I got back to the gym door my gym teacher finally arrived. My gym teacher was not around when the guys were flicking lighters at me. When I walked through the gym to the changeroom door, and then got changed, the guys were still doing it, and there were bursts of laughter. FRIGHTNING! Also, when we started to do warmups with bouncing basketballs around, the guy was still following me and he had the lighter in his pocket so the gym teacher wouldn't notice it, he eventually stopped, but this is truly something to remember for a long time.

P.S, the guy who mainly flicked the lighter at me left my highschool at the end of that semester, so that's good. The other guy is still around, but he is generally not that bad.

Incident 2:

Later in gym, my gym teacher decided that we should play a game of European Handball. About 20 minutes later after we started when this one guy in my class got tired of being goalie, he asked me to go in. I was generally not bad, I let in about 3 or 4 goals in 5- 10 minutes, that's not bad really. After I let in my 4th goal, this really tall kid in my class who like seriously, seriously, hated me, decided that it was okay to go up to me and say, "GET OUT! YOU'RE TERRIBLE!" And I was like "SDFU!" And then he was like "No no no, don't give me that ****, go play!" I didn't go play because I was too anxious and depressed, so I just sat on the bench for the rest of the game, it wasn't long before class ended when the incident occured so I was really only on that bench for about 3-4 minutes.

Then I talked to my gym teacher at the end of class and he told me that he would have a word with those guys tomorrow.

I talked to my mom about the two incidents and then she emailed the problems to the head teacher of the Essentials Program that I was in last year, he was really pissed about it too. Then, a day later, I decided not to go to school because I was too frightened that the guys might beat me up for getting them into trouble. When I was absent, the head teacher of the Essentials Program got the VP to talk to those guys. The two guys with the lighters were ashamed, while the guy who decided to take over my goalie position admitted that he was being rude and he did all of a sudden felt sorry as well.

P.S: The guy in incident 2 did get moved to the other gym class so he wouldn't mess around with me anymore.

A day later on November 30th, when I finally returned back at school, the VP talked to me about how he dealt with those guys.

Yes, I was extremely ashamed that those two things ever did happen. Has any of you had similar incidents or problems like that with people at school? I'm just really interested.
