Question Posted Saturday September 2 2006, 2:47 pm
There's this girl... and last year she bothered me/ called me names ALL year (she was in 3 of my classes). And the other day I was at my highschool for preseason soccer (we haven't started school yet) and she happened to be there for school pictures. She comes up to me and says, "Hey you ugly a** b****!" I was kinda mortified, if you know what I mean. And I really don't want my 4 high school years to be filled with being bullied around. I mean I'm tired of it and not really sure what to do or who to talk to...

I would tell either a teacher or the school guidance counselor and they will probably call your parents and notify them and trust me whoever is bothering you they can suspend them and they will call the bully's parents as well and the situation will be handeled. If you don't speak up you will have to live with this for a long time unless you move. Tell an adult you trust and they will help you. My friend had a bully and she told a teacher and they had everything dealt with and now the bully is too scared to even come near my friend. ♥ [ adviice_whore's advice column | Ask adviice_whore A Question ]

And although sometimes, there is a cause for it, sometimes you are just targeting when you have done nothing wrong. Don't feel alone; it can happen to anyone. Here is a really good site on bullying and included is a confidential hotline you can call: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Like it says on that site, tell a trusted adult. School districts take that as a big deal. The don't tolerate it. So speak up. Tell a school principal or counselor or even your soccer sponsor.
