foxychick993 answered Saturday April 16 2005, 11:06 pm: My advice, be assertive. I mean I'm not sayin go out punchin people or anything. Just like, tell them to leave you alone and deal with their own lives. PUT ME ON U'RE FRIENDS LIST AND TELL ME IF IT WORKS! [ foxychick993's advice column | Ask foxychick993 A Question ]
icey0990 answered Friday April 15 2005, 10:59 pm: the people who think they are tough just because of their race, really arent tough at all..they are being pretty stupid actually..they wont say it, but they will really start to notice how you speak your mind if you become more assertive. If someone says something that offends you..just say what your feeling..(you dont have to curse them out and be somoene your not) but just say whatever your thinking in your head..when your voicing your opinions..as long as you dont curse everyone out, ignore their opinions, or think your superior to everryone else, you shouldnt be viewed as a bitch.
As for the people who think your whimpy because your little and white,forget what they think.. i bet a lot of them pick on you because they have family issues etc. [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]

Bernie answered Friday April 15 2005, 3:37 pm: Hey, well i just read the other answers that you got (well not really the first one cos it was a bit too long and i got bored) but i read the second one and i think that, yeh you shouldn't resort to violence but comeon, like anyone will leave you alone if you say 'Please leave me alone, i don't like this', they'll just think your weak and small. You need to stand up for yourself, if someone starts shouting at you come up with a really good comeback and shout it back! If someone shoves you, you push them off you and walk off, if they follw and push you again you give them the biggest mouthful ever! And then if they do get properly rough and it doesn't stop then you need to find someone who you know will make it better because sometimes teachers think they are makeing things better when really they make it worse. But anyway, i hope all goes well and i just want you to know that you shouldn't be embarassed. The bully's are the freaks who are probably not very bright and you will go far in the world. Well i'll c ya xx

I no you're probably thinking but it does hurt me... well thats how you feel on the inside but somtimes how you act on the outside is what they see first so dont be scared to stand up for your sel becuase im sure those people do the same thing beacuse other people do it to them... i hope i didnt confuse you cuz this is long lol..

therocketsummer answered Thursday April 14 2005, 6:41 pm: Don't fight back by yelling or cussing them out. Why cuss when you could use nicer and more kind words? Maybe when they pick on you, you might tell them you didn't appreciate that and ask them to stop. Yes, it's corny, but there isn't much more you can do without being violent. If this doesn't stop, try talking with your teacher or the principal. Remember; you can defend yourself with words not violence.
Garsh- I sound like some political lunitic.. WORLD PEACE!

go to the gym and start taking martial arts classes. preferrably a form that focuses all of its energy upon offensive strategy. try ninjitsu,jujitsu,judo, or that fascinating israeli hand to hand combat, now thats the shit right there. remember, the enemy must be damaged to the point where they can never pose a threat again.
