Question Posted Thursday December 30 2004, 12:46 am
I'm treated pretty badly at school. Like, people pick on me and call me names. I don't do anything to deserve such treatment, and it's been like this since Kindergarden. I have friends and all that, but a lot of people still threaten me and what not. Don't tell me to tell a teacher or what not because they already not yet fail to do a damn thing about it. I can't defend myself because I can't fight, and I don't like making fun of others. If there is any advice people could give me to maybe help me stop the torment, that'd be great.
Thank you for your time,
♥Shattered Soul in Shelby♥

Whenever they call you a name, don't answer it because IT'S NOT YOUR NAME. If they threaten you, FORGET ABOUT IT. Have their threats actually came true? I'm not telling you to talk to a teacher or anything, but I'm telling you to talk to your counselor about the problem or talk to your friends if you can't stand up for yourself. You'll be a better person that way. [ YoshiP162's advice column | Ask YoshiP162 A Question ]
lilblondiesoccer answered Thursday December 30 2004, 4:09 pm: well the exact same thing happened to my brother he was a bit skimpy and people picked on him when he was a freshman, well know he is a senior and people look up to him, because instead of fighting back, he just ignored them and whenever they would come up to him and say somthing, he would think of somthing really smart to say. He took a "Karate" type class, but insted of karate it was a class that only taught defense and mind power it really helped him, he also worked out. I know you're a girl but they are only doing that to you because they are just mad at there own dumb and boring lives. They feel insicure so they pick on other people. Trust me ignor them and pay them no mind, they'll get over themselves [ lilblondiesoccer's advice column | Ask lilblondiesoccer A Question ]

Scribble answered Thursday December 30 2004, 8:21 am: You said you don't like making fun of others and thats to be respected but if these people aren't going to quit then maybe they don't deserve your good will. Maybe its time to hit back? Not as in violence, but just ways to show you aren't to be messed with. Prank 'em- or find their areas of insecurity and mercilessly exploit them. I know it sounds harsh but they don't deserve better from you. [ Scribble's advice column | Ask Scribble A Question ]
*ashlee* answered Thursday December 30 2004, 3:58 am: if you dont try to stand up for yourself or defend yourself, dont ask us for help. we cant help you or make you feel better because your too pussy too stand up for urself. people make fun of you..make fun of them right back. they do it because they know you wont say anything. if it bugs you that bad, youll do it, because its the only way to get it to stop. beat the shit out of people. take some martial art classes or some damn self defense shit. hell you dont gotta take a class on punching sum1 in the face. so either you stand up for yourself or quit bitchin..because thats all you can do.
STAND UP TO THEM.

my mom was a nerd in high school and collage cuz she was a transfer student from iran. they all made fun of her untill collage. then last week my mom and i went to a store and it was target i think and we saw the grl who was making fun of my mom (the most popular grl in taft) my mom went up to her and said HEYY u were the one who made fun of me and stuff the grl got so red! my mom is now better than her.
my point in this pointless story to you, is that these people who are making fun of you will get no where in their lives but you yes you will become wealthy and happy when you get older! but you can confront them!
