Group Info

Scars by Bullying was created for every scream for help that was never heard, every tear caused by harmful actions, and every soul who feels alone with what they are dealing with.

Bullying is more then skin-deep; it affects you for life. It's been proven that victims of bullying are prone to having PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.) The constant fighting and harassment of peers damages confidence and self-esteem for years or even a lifetime.

We feel that not enough people know this; they are unaware of how much damage it causes to our youth, thus causing more damage to our society.

We are tired of hearing about young adults committing suicide because no one ever stopped the abuse that was witnessed everyday. Those people could have been saved.

So this group is for all of you who have ever been harassed daily, considered suicide as an alternative, or felt as if you were truly alone.

If you are, or know anyone who is, being bullied emotionally, physically, or mentally - contact this group for support. Support Starts Here.

Rules & SBB on the Web

This is probably going to be pretty basic, considering we're an anti-bullying group, and so everything I'll say will be basically redundant in itself...But oh well, I'll post them anyways.

:bulletred:No reckless or merciless flaming of other's works. No one deserves to have their work bashed simply because someone else didn't like it. Give constructive criticism, not merciless bashing. It's useless to everyone involved.
:bulletorange:Respect the admin. Whatever we say goes. No 'ifs,' 'ands,' or 'buts.' There will be no exceptions to breakages in the rules unless they were accidental.
:bulletyellow:Submit only material related to the group's focus. Obviously we don't want anything Naruto or Adam Lambert-related submitted to the group, no matter how much we may love them.
:bulletgreen:Submit deviations to the correct folder. We admin are lazy; therefore, we do not want to waste all of our time putting deviations in the correct folder simply because other people are lazy. Manage yourselves effectively and we won't have a problem.
:bulletblue:No explicit content. In other words, no naked people or anything like that. This group isn't focused around anything sexually-oriented, and so obviously we don't want anything along those lines in our gallery.
:bulletpurple:Submissions are limited to seven deviations a week due to a recent flood of artwork. But don't let that stop you from submitting your work!
:bulletblack:The Featured Folder. The Featured Folder will be used for the devations for contest winners.

So, I was bullied throughout elementary school it slowly progressed back then. It seemed to have stopped after elementary school. I started letting my guard down a bit. I thought that the bullying was over. And for a while it was.
 Recently I've become agitated and on high alert. I've gotten less sleep and have had a lot of panic attacks that I've some how managed to hide. Now I'm starting to wonder if this is the beginning of the bullying again. Now, you're probably wondering how it started, well, I'm getting to that.
 Monday, I was chocked by a "friend". It reminded me of my past wit bullies because one of them would choke me. I stopped trying to sleep. I started staying up until I literally passed out. I told someone, not wanting the bullying to start again, on Wednesday. Since Monday I haven't stopped looking behind me and jumping when someone taps my shoulder or something. Yesterday, the person who choked me chased me into the girl's rest rooms at school(this was reported today) because I told on her. She made a huge scene and made most of my "friends" side with her. I barely let anyone hug me anymore. I only let those I trust hug me really. So, today I had to deal with people bugging me. Her(the person who choked me) friends(they're not my friends anymore) kept telling me to go talk to her and crap, while she kept yelling things(I didn't bother to listen to) at me. Then after school she called me a whore. I came on here wanting to forget it and ended up having to block her account. She had sent me a note saying that I deserved to suffer and die.
 I feel like the bullying has begun again. People keep saying that it'll blow over eventually, but what if it doesn't? It will never be over for me. Bullying left a deep scar on me in elementary school, not a scar that you could see but a mental one. I know that this time it will leave a deeper scar because people I trusted were involved and they tainted the trust I once had. My emotions are sending me over the brink again and I've come really close to cutting again, but I've managed  not to. My panic attacks are getting harder and harder to hide. People are starting to notice my paranoia.
 They always pointed out my flaws, but I feel like they're blaming all of this on me. They blamed a lot on me anyway, but is this girl's assaulting me with words really my fault? Am I starting to be bullied again? Do I really deserve to suffer and die? Is this the end or the beginning?

Hi there. I'm typing this because there's something I was wondering if you would be interested in funding.

On Kickstarter, a man named Bryan S. Kearns is making a documentary about bullying, in which he interviews victims of bullying across the USA. The documentary is known as "Undiscovered Shadows: The Truth Behind Bullying". The documentary needs $30,000.00 by June 13th at 7:16pm EDT in order to be funded. As of this post, it has $125.00.

Since you are an organization about helping people who have been/are being bullied, I thought you might be interested in seeing this project get funded. If you would like to see the project, here's a link.

By the way, I apologize if I made you feel uncomfortable in any way, or seemed weird by just up and asking ou this just completely out of the blue. Again, thought you might be interested in helping this project get funded. Sure, I could just post a journal entry about the project or something, but I want to have the assurance that people I want to reach will see it, so I thought I should go to those people. Still, sorry if I seemed weird.

That said, let me know what you think of this project once you see it, if you would, and I hope that you consider funding it.

I really love the fact that he is creating a docu about the hidden truth of how traumatizing bullying actually is. I am not too sure about how I feel about posting a fundraising journal so let me think about that.

Thank you for letting us know!

No problem. You don't need to post a fundraising journal if you don't want to. I did this because I thought the people of this group might be the sort of people who might be interested in helping/seeing this project get funded.

You can if you want to though, I'm just saying.
