Meet Maxwell.
A bullying victim turned entrepreneur.
Listen as Maxwell explains how his bullying experience shaped him into the person he is today.
Bullying thrives in secrecy. When people share their experiences, it removes the veil bullying relies on, and reminds others they are not alone.
To anyone going through something similar: you are beautiful, you are strong, you are loved.
More stories are shared with consent and care. Each one is reviewed before it appears here.

Bullying depends on secrecy. A child convinced they are the only one is far easier to isolate, and isolation is what makes the rest of it work.
Every story published here is shared with the consent of the person who lived it, and we confirm that consent still stands before anything goes up. We do not sensationalize, we do not add detail for effect, and we do not publish a child’s story because it would be moving.

You can tell us yours whenever you are ready, and nothing is published without your say. Some people write to us and never want it public, which is a perfectly good reason to write.
If you are in the middle of it right now rather than looking back, Bullying 101 is the more useful page, and if a child is in crisis, the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is reachable by call or text at 988 at any hour.
