I'm going to be a freshman this year, but a few years back, when I was a sixth and seventh grader, I was constantly teasted by this boy who called be bighead (ok, so my head is bigger than normal). During eigth grade when he left for high school, it was the best year. He used to tease me, and when I told him to stop he'd just laugh. Ignoring him didn't work either. Now I'm worried he's going to be up to his old habits again. How should I handle this? By the way, there is no way I can go to the guidance counselor or tell an adult, I just can't, so please tell me how i can handle this myself.
I'm female/ 14, and no, he doesn't have a crush on me.

Chances are good he has moved on to terrorize someone else by now. With luck, he will have forgotten all about you. If he hasn't then try avoiding him. Not real hard to do in high school,unless you have a class with him. Here is a link that has some tips on dealing with bullies. :)

But if he does, give it time. If he keeps doing it, call the police and complain of harrasment. Im dead serious, cus thats what it is. Dont take crap from anybody, yu shoodnt have to. The police will most likely go to the boneheads parents, nd everything will be fine. I hope everything works out for yu, and good luck in high school!! <3 [ xoredsoxnation9's advice column | Ask xoredsoxnation9 A Question ]

KW answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 9:20 am: The next time he bugs you tell him who is the boss and or just dont go around him anymore. If he keeps on bugging u should really go to your parents or tell a friend. Hope that helped. [ KW's advice column | Ask KW A Question ]
lori133 answered Tuesday August 23 2005, 12:28 am: You are going to have to get an adult involved becaues the boy will not listen to your wishes. The only way to get him to stop is to tell. It is the responsibilty of the school administration to see to it that you have a safe and secure enviroment to learn. If they should fail at that you and your parents should hold them accountable. They are obligated to fix the problem,by law, once they are notified of the problem. Get an adult involved now and do not wait anoyher day. [ lori133's advice column | Ask lori133 A Question ]

GroovyChick answered Monday August 22 2005, 8:12 am: You can't handle it yourself if you are getting upset by this. Ask your friends to help, try calling him stuff back. i tell you a secret, i same age as you, i used to walk past a group of lads they used to call me a manbeast i am no way near it. i called them a womenbeast funny and sticking up for me. i went to a teacher, my head of year had a word with them and they stoped, yes he did fancie me. every1 who picks on you likes you. you are in the same situation, teachers will help you and i hope i have too.

kaylasays answered Sunday August 21 2005, 9:43 pm: Hey,
Well i think that he's probably matured more now. The whole "big head" insult is most likely an old joke to him.
But if for any reason he does bother you again, you can't just tell him to stop. Be assertive and tell him to shut the fuck up. Atleast thats what i would do. I know everyone always says, "two wrongs dont make a right" but sometimes it works to give them a taste of their own medicin. Find something bad about him and totally exadurate it and make him feel horrible.
I honestly think that he should be over it by now...hopefully he's matured. [ kaylasays's advice column | Ask kaylasays A Question ]
TheHeadHonchoPoncho57 answered Sunday August 21 2005, 9:38 pm: If you don't want to/can't go to an adult, here's what you do. I know that this is a cliche, but ignore him. Bullies like kids who get bothered and who's feelings get hurt easily. So next time he calls you Bighead, you just put your head up and keep doing whatever you're doing. As soon as he sees that his teasing is useless, he will stop. But if he keeps teasing you after that, then he has a crush on you because he'd be paying you so much attention!

xXxpinky615xXx answered Sunday August 21 2005, 9:24 pm: This is easy. You really need to NOT be all nice about it and trying to ignore him... Don't go and cry about it either. You're in HIGHSCHOOL now. Odds are, he's changed but if he didn't you just say "[insert boys name here]... You're an immature piece of shit and you really need to learn how to grow the hell up... I thought you were a "big boy" now. And sure, my head may be big... But you're penis is the size of my 1 year old baby cousin (EVEN if you don't have a 1 year old cousin... JUST SAY IT). And if he asks you about how you would know just say "I've been told things..." and walk away. And leave it at that. He's a dick wad and should know that he is one.

o0Tina0o answered Sunday August 21 2005, 9:12 pm: Well usally people mature when they go into highschool. But in this case if he don't i recommend since your going to be a freshman and all just don't talk back to him ok? freshman are at the bottom of the food chain they have always been, there is no changing it so it will more than likely be bad no matter what. but your highschool shouldent be small, like the middle schools were so the best advice i can give you is to avoid him, i think if your highschool is a pretty fair size even between 500-900 ppl it should be pretty fairly easy.
