This one guy in particular took a disliking to me, he made fun ofme, never took me seriously, always gave a stupid remark everytime I asked him something which, in short, is bullying.The problem is that everyone likes him more than me. I mean I'm social with my friends yet people would choose him over me. He's actually done better in life than me, he's a year above me and I've been told he's about to start his 2nd year (so he must have passed). This makes me depressed because bullies shouldn't get away with it and he's having a good life and I'm still picking up the pieces from when him and 2 of his friends bullied me.I really don't know what to do.

I was smarter than them, I had parents that talked to me and took me out, I had a nice home and most of all i was pretty ( I don't mean to blow my own trumpet ) But i never wore make up and could get away with it, these girls hated this so they picked on me!
It's not all about looks but what goes on in the inside, a bully is jealous of you in some way, that's all, ok you say he may be doing pretty good in school, but look outside the box, do you know about his family life? His upbringing et?
Trust me he's jealous and most of all, don't let it get to you! If it does get out of hand and it starts to bother you, don't be afraid...Tell someone, It helps! Godd look fella! x

 hun the first thing to do is to realise in your mind why he's doing it
it's the only way in his sad little life that he probably has some sort of control or uses it to feel big because he's compensating for a lack of in another area if you know what i mean ;-)
i know how you feel - i was bullied for 10 years over 2 different schools which sent me into clinical depression which only recently has been noticed. it does get better sweetie, just remember that after next year you're free to do what ever the hell YOU want to do with YOUR life and that loser wont have any more control over you.
i suggest to keep a record of whenever these things happen - what lesson, why, what you said, what he said back etc and when you have sufficient evidence go to someone with authority at your school who might show some kind of considerate empathy and damn well do something about it.
i agree with you - they should not get away with this sort of thing. quite often bullies have issues of their own which people dont know about but that is no excuse for doing it to others.
chin up hun, it's not going to go on forever, make it through the sixth form (i know its hard isnt it lol i'm there too) and look forward to enjoying life in the future. focus on the good parts of your life, relish in the good moments and when he does do crap things to you - think that you're going to take 'the high road' and not stoop to his level and let his words bother you. thats the way you have to look at it all if no one is willing to help you.
