Bullying Under Attack is a project created as a result of Teen Ink's mission to publish teenagers' writing about what matters to them most. During our 24-year run, we have received hundreds of thousands of submissions from teens, many of whom want to talk about bullying. From these personal, heart-wrenching stories published on our website or printed in our magazine, we've selected the most compelling prose and poetry about bullying.
Bullying Under Attack is an eye-opening anthology of first-person accounts written by teenagers from all three players in the bullying cycle: victims, bullies, and bystanders.
The Victim:
"I was the girl who got called fat every single day. The girl who camouflaged her pain by laughing really hard and talking too loud, drowning out the demeaning comments. The girl fighting an internal battle to get up, get ready, and go to school every morning..."
--Elizabeth Ditty
The Bully:
"...being a bully doesn't save me from other bullies. I used to think that, somehow, tormenting others would grant me immunity from being tormented. It didn't. Because being a bully doesn't make you scary; it makes you worthless."
--Michael Ortiz
The Bystander:
"Sometimes changing a bully is difficult and even impossible. But if you don't try, those who are bullied will never know how much you care, and those who bully will continue to think their actions are acceptable. You can choose to remain a silent bystander, or you can take a stand to defend others. It's up to you."
--Bridgette Rainey
