What do I do if I'm being bullied at school?
As Ben mentioned: Talk with a teacher that you trust, and then an administrator and get some moral support from your parents.But, in parallel, what do you believe is causing this behavior of them towards you?If you were “invisible”, they would not notice nor bother you.Are you just going about your day to day and class to class activity, and they are going Out of Their way to bully you?I always wonder how these things occur. When I was a student, I was bullied, but dealt with it. I then saw other instances of bullying as a student and then later in life as a coach and referee I have had to squash any “bullying”.It is usually good to do some self-assessment and determine if there is any activity/actions that you are doing that puts you in direct contact with these people that could be “slightly” modified and reduce contact and therefore reduce or eliminate any bullying.Out of sight and out of mind is a well used saying.All the best.
I get bullied at school. Help Please?
Hi, I am in Year 9 and I get bullied a lot in high school. I am currently depressed so the bullying at school adds to this depression. Sometimes when I am being bullied I just feel like crying. But I have to hold it in even though its VERY difficult because of the humiliation if i cry. I think that the main reasons for me to get bullied is that I am not that academically bright as the others( i try though) and that i am physically weak. I am known as a loser and a retard in my school. and i hate that A Lot. I feel so mentally weak right now. The bullies in my school take my stuff without and vandalise it how ever they want and through it AT me. I can't stop them from taking my stuff because there are 4 of them. Please help me right now, i cry when i get home every single day. I can't take another day of this... =(
I'm being bullied at new school. please help?
Aw, I'm so sorry, that's horrible! I'm a senior (in 12th grade) so I'm nearly your age. I have been bullied in the past, but luckily for me at my high school people are not so stupid and mean. Keep sticking up for yourself, and tell your teachers. Be firm, don't just quietly say "stooooop it", say firmly and clearly, looking them in the eye "Stop, I don't like that". Walk with confidence, being kind and polite and everything but confident, not like a shy, easy target. Be calm, but assertive, firm, but not agressive. Practice it at home, so you get really good at being able to do it at school. Be persistant in telling an adult, even if they don't always seem to listen. Keep on telling them, being polite and calm but firm. If they seem busy or distracted, just keep trying, telling them that you have a safety problem, and how they are bullying you, and that you feel bad about going to school, then they should listen. Never show fear to the bully, no matter what! Try to join different organizations to help you find true friends. Friends can help you stop the bully, and help you gain confidence.

I'm being bullied in high school? Please help?
I'm 15 (girl) and I'm only 5"0 tall and I'm gonna be a sophomore this year. Everyone bullies me and I don't know how to defend myself. All the girls make fun of me. They all accuse me of wearing a push-up bra when I don't. Big boobs runs in my family. They announce that I'm wearing a pushup bra out loud in class and it embarrassing and I'm really shy and I don't know how to defend myself. I barley talk to anyone. Everyone calls me the "pretty but dumb one" they all think I'm dumb because I don't talk to anyone. One time this big guy came up and kicked me in the *** and made me fall to the floor and I fell and started crying cause it hurt and everyone was laughing (including my friends) and no one helped me up. No one likes me and I don't know why, I never talk to anyone. I just want them to leave me alone. All the guys like to scoop me and they hold me down a lot and it makes me late to my classes and I feel so violated. The school doesn't do anything about this. My dad works at the school and he doesn't even care. How can I defend myself? And once this guy only dated to to see how far he could go with his teacher's daughter because my dad is his teacher. I'd move schools but my dad refuses to let me cause he wants me to go to the school he teaches at
I get bullied by everyone in school please help me?
Last year I was a freshman and I got bullied all the time. I've been bullied my entire life in school, but last year it became unbearable. I have a neurological condition that causes me to get seizures sometimes and I also have very slow reflexes. Since middle school I think I can safely say that almost everyone in my school picked on me at one point. I got pushed around physically every day, even by some girls. People destroy my papers, which has occasionally caused my grades to suffer. They take some of my stuff, verbally abuse me, tell me to kill myself. After I had a seizure in class once I never heard the end of it. I got made fun of every second. One guy last year took my backpack and everything inside it when we were in the bathroom and then I got punched around. A few weeks before summer break I got a new phone from my parents and these three girls who are popular cheerleader types came up to me when I was walking home and started kicking me and stuff. Then one of them took my phone and started tossing it around. I couldn't get it cause like I said my reflexes are bad. Then one of them threw it hard into the street and now it doesn't work anymore. They just laughed and walked away. My parents didn't understand and they got mad at me. Then the next day I see the girl who broke it kissing her boyfriend, which angers me to no end for some reason, that she could do that to me and then continue with her life. And I see these other kids laughing and just casually going about their business after picking on me. They seem completely oblivious to what they've done. I just want to kill them to be honest, of course I won't. Although I might kill myself because I swear I can't take it anymore. What do I do please? How can I get over it and get them to leave me alone. I still haven't gotten over it and it's affected me all summer.
I'm starting to get bullied at school, please please help...?
I'm a sophomore in high school, and i was new last year. I'm shy around people that I don't really know. Freshman year didn't go horrible, I wasn't bullied or anything but I didn't have too many friends because I was shy. This year I have alot more friends and I'm coming out of my shell, but like I said i'm still shy around people I don't know/have never talked to. So in my spanish class there's these 2 girls and 1 boy that sit in the back. Yesterday the one obnoxious girl, let's call her Emma, kept saying hi to me in a weird way and the other 2 would laugh. I was confused but I just kind of said "hi" back, laughed as I made a creeped out face, and turned away. I thought nothing of it. Well I guess they loved my reaction, so today they did it for a good 90% of class. The girl kept saying "hi" in that weird way, and she would constantly say my name and bug me while the other 2 laughed their asses off. My friend in that class, let's call her Michelle, is friends with them. They asked her to go bowling with them this Friday and she said no that she's going with me, and they said my name and laughed like "you're going with HER? HAHAHHA". She just kind of stood up for me and said "Yeah, I am." Well my teacher told me to write a sentence on the board and all I heard was my name being said in the back of the class, then I heard "DON'T THROW HER PENS HEHEHE" and Emma was like "IT'S OKAY I'VE SAVED YOUR PENS, YOU HAVE A CRAZY LADY SITTING BEHIND YOU" (the other girl). Again they all laughed, and now the whole class is staring at me and other people were starting to join in on the laughter. I said absolutely nothing, but when I went back to my desk I gave Emma a look, hoping that it would get the message across that it wasn't funny. They all just kept laughing at me though , and I did NOTHING. All I do is sit in that class and mind my own business. I don't say much, but I don't want to nor do I have to. So what gives them the right to do this to me? I've never been teased like this, in fact plenty of people like me. Am I just an easy target? How do I get them to stop laughing at me
What should I do if I'm being bullied?
I really hate to say but as someone who spent a large portion of childhood being bullied, I must say that the politically correct things most adults tell you will not help.Telling a teacher may help but most teachers wont take much notice or action and if they do, will rarely follow up. If there is a cool teacher you trust, then tell them.Ignoring it is only advice from people who have never been bullied, its near impossible.I found what really helped was earning respect. Look at why your being bullied and work on it. Are you fat? Well it helps to have a sense of humour about it or fix it.Same as anything to do with appearance, I was chubby in school and got picked on, when I moved schools, I became the funny fat guy and everyone liked me. No one could pick on me because it wouldn't effect me and there was nothing they could say that I hadn't already.In high school, I got picked on by one particular bully who was very into fighting.I never used to fight back and was a victim frequently.One day I had a particularly bad day for other reasons and just was not putting up with it, I was in a head lock and punched him as hard as I could in the kidney. He let go and was clearly in pain, instead of running, I just stood there and told him to "get f@#%ed or I'd get his other kidney". He walked away.Next day, I passed him and got a nod. I showed that I would stand up for myself and earnt his respect.Key thing to remember is bullies only ever pick on you for one of two reasons:One is they really like you and are compensating by looking like they don't. (Usually only in boy/girl situations).The other main reason is they have family troubles or are being picked on themselves and need to feel superior. If they have a brother or father who bullies them then they will likely take it out on someone weaker.Similar if they are doing it to impress their friends, it's usually because they need to compensate for a short coming or weakness. The second you fight back with force, it defeats the purpose.Just my realistic two cents.
