My advice is to try and let these people know how you really are. And I am sure u really are a nice guy. Smile around school and try to interact with people...my heart is with you.

Is there just one person, a family memeber perhaps that you can confide in? You shouldnt have to go throught his by yourself.Bullies invariably grow up to be real losers if that makes you feel better Sweetie. Good luck and let us know how you get on. xxxx

now if anybody even bothered touching me i have so many friends older than me to back me up.just dont be cocky and always smile. teachers dont help i agree.
if your really fed up you can do a few tricks. i used stink bombs to scare bullies. i put on in thier bags to make them run. lol

alot of bullies tend to pick on people that are more clever than themselfs. i had that problem. i was always bullied because i am cleverer than alot of people in my year. the way i over come this was to take a more relaxed approach to school. im still getting all of my grades but im more relaxed and not working as i used to.
if you want to talk more about this then please contact me.

hun i know exactly how you feel, i too hated school and was constantly bullied. its horrible and incredibly lonely to feel the worlds against you and the fact your 'friends' have joined in makes it all the worse.
bullies tend to pick on the vulnerable and the quiet, those that wont bite back. im not suggesting you fight back as it wont solve anything. what im saying is hold up your head, show them what ever they do doesnt get you down and that your a strong person. more often than not they get bored and move on.
school was hell for me, but its a very short but important time in our lives so do it properly, concentrate on your studies and when your a succesfull adult and the bullies are unemployed you'll be able to smile.
hold up your head and what ever they say and do, tell yourself that you kno your a smart, wonderfull person who doesnt follow all the 'kool' kids like sheep.

reader, anonymous, writes (17 February 2007): Hi sweetie i have to tell u i went through all my primary school days & my firt yr of high school being bullied. I then decided 2 move school and start a fresh. I dressed differntly & got in with the trend but most importnaly i gained confidence in myslef & thought i will not let myself b traeted this way as i am a human 2. so i never let ne1 see me cry & when some1 tried 2 hav a go at me i stood up 4myself. I always thought that it was me that was the problem however it is the bullys. I have seen some of the people who bullied me in school and they have all ended up ugly & with crap jobs while i am very goodlooking & doing well in my career therefor i feel u time will come. For know though i would try & stand up 4 myself & definately not allow ne sort of phyiscal action be taken on me. Look at some of the websites that the others have suggested & make sure u keep a diary of the different events that have been happening and keep tellin ur skol until somnething is done. best of luck.

Bullying has been going on for years and years and can make what should be the best years of a child's life, the worst! It may be a good idea for you to keep notes of things that are said and done to you as they happen. This is always evidence you can show to your teacher if the bullying gets out of hand. Tell your parents too and your friends so they know it's going on.
When someone bullies you it's because they are unhappy with something in their own life. Picking on someone else makes them feel "big" or powerful. They usually do it with other friends around and would usually never do it if they were alone. Here's a website for you to look at, it tells you what you can do when you're being bullied. I'm sure you'll find it extremely helpful.

Remember... you DON'T have to go through this alone, there is a lot of help out there, don't be embarrassed to ask for it.

Bullying is a very wide spread problem and not only in your age group.
I could go through lines and lines of explanation but I have found a website that should be able to explore the various aspects such as reasons, cures etc.
Hope it helps. Doc.

Been there, girlie. Done all that. :( I'm sorry to hear that you have the same problems that I had. I homeschooled my sophmore year and went to a Christian school the rest of my school career. If I was really a whore, and if I was really a bitch, I deep down would have understood why everyone hated me and told me things like 'you might as well just shut up, Carrie, because no one really cares about what you have to say' in the middle of class discussions. This happened infront of my TEACHER, the one who used to call me a crack whore!
I now know it was because they didn't respect someone who was different, with different views. I don't think everyone who is black is the 'n' word, and I don't think of them as bad people. I think of them as just like you and me. They hated that about me. I have had one boyfriend for a year, and they all still call me a slut and whore. That's thier problem. They'r jealous.
Don't worry about leaving your friend, dear. :) You'll see each other outside of school, and you can hang out then! That's how it was with my boyfriend, who was my best friend at the time.
I wish you SO much luck, girl! Let me know how this goes!!
-Carrie
