I am one of those kids who get picked on daily and has no one to stick up for me. I can't talk to anyone else and I am very protected by my parents. Please tell me what to do.

well they are not a best friend if they bully you are they?you need to talk to your parents or even her/his parents. make them suffer a little, by facing their parents and possibly a punishment for being a bully. you need to speak up about it. maybe confront the bully, tell them what you really think of them. it will be surprising to them to see that you are sticking up for yourself. forget them as a friend, see them for what they really are. a nasty lowlife little shit!

ok you need to tell your teacher everything, she or he can't sort out all of the problems unless they know it all. do you have a school councelor? go to them, as they are very clued up on this sort of thing. also tell your parents! these little shits can't get away with it anylonger!!!!!! i know it may seem hard, but you have to try and ignore whatever the stupid cowardly bullies say to you. one thing that may help is that you picture the bully in a bubble, they can't get to you because you are ready to pop their bubble by making sure that the teachers stop them. most bullies have problems of their own, so remember that they may come across like the worse people in the world, but really they are nothing more then scumbags who can't get their own way in life. it's good that you have told someone, there is nothing worse then keeping it to yourself. also maybe you could call NSPCC or childline for some advice? there are people there that will be willing to help you and give you information. also remember that you are not alone and these stupid bullies will not get away with it. plus one thing you will realise later on in life is that these bullies will probably end up with a rubbish job and no ambition, while you will get a great job and life and will end up laughing at them. trust me, that happened to my friend.
back at school this stupid group of tarts used to pick on my friend because she was intelligent and had ginger hair. she was a shy girl, so she never really spoke up to them. i however did, but that's another story. anyway now she has come across them on facebook and they added her? wierd i know, but she sent them messages saying "i'm sorry are you lost, do i know you? i don't associate with slappers" i won't tell you the rest, bit rude. but my point is, you will always be the stronger one and come out better at the other end once it is all sorted out. good luck and don't let them get to you!

I found that when it is verbal abuse, the best way to "deal" with a bully is not to, which I know must sound daft. I felt that when I listened to what those people said and half-agreed with them it had made it no better. By best advice would be to love yourself, love who you are. Laugh, if and when you can. Find something you exel in and be happy, proud about it. I found when I did this that the people against me just ignored me and found someome else. That is the sad truth, that bullies will always do something to someone or other.
I hope that was useful, you've done a brilliant job by talking to people about it.
I wish you all the happiness you deserve,
X

At first they'll pick on you for that but after a while they will probably stop. They get the enjoyment out of seeing you cry or upset so next time someone calls you names laugh and go "HAHA thats a good one" and smile too =)
If its physical is a whole different ball game. You have to tell your parents - its not fair on you.
