Vent - Bullying + Anxiety

Hey, I'm newish here, but I feel I need to let this out. On top of my anxiety and depression, I was bullied for the majority of last year by my former best friend. It was very serious bullying, and left me scarred both physically and emotionally. She transferred schools at the end of the year, and I thought that would be the end of it. However, I recently discovered she's coming back in a couple of weeks. I can't deal with this. Help!!

Hi I've dealt with bullying my whole life and I know how scary it is. Sometimes you can't avoid them. Sometimes they go looking for you, and now a days they don't give up. I think you should bring it up with someone who you can talk too. If it gets serious enough get the police involved. I didn't when I was being bullied and they deserved to be told but I never did. Don't make that same mistake, find someone and talk to them. If you need any help message me. :)

First, thank you both for your replies.

The bullying I experienced at her hand was mostly emotional; she constantly out me down and made me feel worthless. She would turn my allies away from me and tell me how much I didn't deserve to breathe or even exist. Additionally, she would occasionally hit me, or post things on twitter or Instagram about me.
As for avoiding her, we are pretty much identical in our academic grades, so we will be in all of the same classes and probably neck in neck for top of the class. That's what terrifies me the most.

Thank you for all your help x

it sounds like she's trying to have complete dominion over you....if she's turning all you're friends against you then there might be no one left on your side to stand up for you after a while.

if it gets worse you might need to get some authority figures involved..but if it comes down to it, there are OTHER ways to defend yourself.. buy a small digital recorder that you can hide in your coat pocket, purse (because im assuming you're a girl), or somewhere inconspicuous...then when you're around her just act really wimpy and pathetic in order to coax her into bullying/saying mean things to you...do this like 5 or 6 times or until you have enough recorded to show to an authority figure as proof....if you're really lucky she might even threaten you or say something racist and you'll have it ALL on tape...

find someone else she's bullied and work as a team so you'll have someone to corroborate your story.

dont forget to take screenshots of all those twitter and instagram posts ...but only if she uses your name in them.

and if you could use a hidden camera to film her hitting you then you could use that too.


There are said to be 4 levels of social entrapment...use the 3rd level to coax her in and get her talking...then turn on your recorder.


anyway, here's this..

If she's actively turning your friends against you (and succeeding), then they're not good friends either. You can try and talk to them in case she's spreading lies about you, and those who are decent friends will stand by your side instead of just assuming she's telling the truth. If she does keep causing problems, try talking to a teacher you can trust.
