Question Posted Saturday April 2 2005, 12:30 pm

What should I do if I get bullied a lot by kids at school? I go to a catholic school, too and its still happening. Junior High can definitly be tough. I get picked on by 7th graders and kids my age. What should I do? My parents and I have tried and tried but nothing has worked! I've gotten nasty emails and instant messengers, and rude and harassing phone calls. can you help me?

ok sweetie, you deffinatly dont need to put up with this.
you are being harrassed, not just at school but at home too in your own personal space. Take a look at this website and tell your parents to aswel. about half way down it tells you what action you need to take if you are being harrassed at school.

also,
try not to spend anytime alone.
Tell a really nice teacher, someone who is easy to talk to and tell the head of year or head teacher. It's their job to help you so explain to them that you are being badly bullied and something needs to be done because it is affecting your life and school work and making you scared to come to school.
Also, keep a diary of everything that is being said and done to you with dates and times, it could just be a rough time of day, morning break or period 3 for example. then if they bullying hasnt died down, take the diary to the teachers again.
have a look at these websites, you might find them helpful, The first one is the best one, it tells you how to deal with bullies in certain places.

it is terriblke to be picked on.i got picked on a lot.in the end you have to think what the bully would do themself,even if it is complain to the teacher and u r 2 scared or complain to their moms
or find some one possibly a relative who has some embaressing stories of them.even if you never find out make sure they think you will.that is what i did.they just pick on you because it is good stress relief

That happened to one of my friends in 7th grade. She, fortunatelly, had another school to fall back on. No matter what school you go to, private or public, there will always be the same social groups. You might want to discuss this swith your teachers privately or your guidance counselor. If things done improve consider transfering schools.

lillegend222 answered Sunday April 3 2005, 11:01 am:
I'm so sorry. I'm in junior high too, and I see people getting picked on everyday. It's absolutely horrible. I used to be picked on a lot, but not much anymore because I had a small group of friends that I stuck with and hung out with all the time. When people picked on me, I knew that my friends would never be that way to me. It was extrememly reassuring. If somebody IMs you, email you, or calls you, just laugh it out. Act like it's a joke. Then just be like "So... how's it going with you?" Just small talk to tick them off. It's a good way to make them relax, and be nicer to you. I'm sorry if that isn't much help, but keep pushing. Don't give up.
good luck

partygurl24 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 9:41 pm:
I used to attend a Catholic school also. Anyways, I think that you just go to the pricipal or a teacher and tell them what is happening. This situation has gotten completely out of hand because now they are harassing you in school and out of school. See if they can be of some help. If that doesn't work, then you will probably have to take matters into your own hands...but smartly. I know that you can be at a great risk of you guys getting into a fight, but right now it's your only option. Learn to be brace and stand up to them. Don't use physical judgement though, just settle it with talking. If you don't get through to them, and they fight you, then you have to be ready to fight back and show self-defense skills. This is where you have to show your bravery and courage. Step up to these guys. Maybe you could get someone who's bigger than them to fake bullying them so that they can get a taste of their own medicine, and see how it feels to get pushed around. Remember, if you have anymore questions and assistance-I'm here for you. I hope I helped!

shake answered Saturday April 2 2005, 3:34 pm:
Beat the shit out of them. Dont eat shit. Screw being perfect who cares. Take em on. If one makes fun of you kick em in the nuts. Once they're on the ground get on top of them and beat their face in with your fist. Make sure its super bloody and people are around to see. The blood will scare them in to not wanting to fight you. The idiots face will scare them too.

If you want some fighting techniques im a black belt just ask.

IM for real on that too.

I've taken Tae Kwon Doe and Karate.

Have you considered going to a diffrent school?
If you and your parents have tried everything then that may be the best thing to do.

rememberxforever answered Saturday April 2 2005, 2:10 pm:
Hey i am in junior high to and yeah its a rough place to be. Well if they are calling and harrasing you i think that is illegal. if they ever threaten you that is definately wrong and you need to tell someone. but if they are just being rude and immature all you can really do is stand up for yourself and try to make some NICE, TRUE friends. you can block them off your buddy list, and if you have caller I.D. dont pick up if you know it is someone mean. just try to defend yourself and say something like "it's pretty pathectic that you waste away your life trying to hurt someone else" because that is always true. kids/teenagers can be really mean but i hope things get better for you and you have some good close friends to talk to.

hope that helped

Michele answered Saturday April 2 2005, 2:01 pm:
I don't know what state you live in,but bullying is against the law in connecticut. You say your parents have helped, but have they gone to the school. Even if they have, sometimes that makes it worse on you when kids get in trouble. Is there a possibility that you can change schools, be tutored, home schooled. I know parents who have done this as a last resort. I know it is awful. And bullying needs to be taken seriously. It is a serious problem. I feel really bad for you. I can tell you this, it will not be like this when you are a grown up. MOST grown ups don't act that way. Though not all will like you, most of them keep their opinions to themselves.
Is there a way you can get a real cool adult, that all the kids look up to, to go to bat for you. Sort of protect you. Is there a sports team in your town with famous players. A famous athlete? they would be most likely to help. Send the sports team an email, tell them exactly what you wrote here, you never know , they just may help.

SexyHal answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:13 pm:
Im sorry this is happnening to you. What I think you should do is stand up to them and make them believe your gonna be strong through whatever that say. I dont mean go fight them just dont allow them to bring you down and if they say something to you dont be scared to say something back. If you dont wanna do that go to a principal or teacher and tell them who it is and what they are doing. They should be able to help. Good luck. i hope i helped

hey girl look i totally understand how you must be feeling and you know what the people who do that are just mean and cruel...somethin you might not know is people who bully others only do it because they are insucure about them selves so they pick on others because they feel like it gives them control or power over other people which they need...what you need to do is stop feeling bad about people bullying you and stand up for yourself seriously the only reason they bully you is because they feel as though your easy prey because you wont say nothing back well prove them wrong....and when people do say things about you remember that your stronger then them in all reality because you dont have to bully others to feel good about yourself so in all reality the people who bully you are weak and they only get their power from getting satisfaction out of bulling others...so hang in there girl you'll be alright trus me just dont take people bull no more...i hope i helped

icey0990 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:03 pm:
Ok time to take it a step further. Press charges. These nasty emails and messages on AIM..save them all. Use them for when you press charges. Maybe when these little runts have to fess up to a police officer or judge..they will stop. But i would definately press charges because its harassment and it needs to stop.
