Alright, there's this cocky kid in my first 3 morning classes, and I was never really bothered by it until he started going out of his way to be rude. It really bugs me and he's not rude to anyone else at the school except for me! I've never even talked to him so I don't know why the heck he hates me. Once in math class, I got up out of my chair to work on the math worksheet with my friend, Marie. When I got back, I found his assignment planner book on my chair so I would sit on it and be laughed at so he could point out one more of my flaws. I knew it was his, but I asked the boy behind me if it was his anyway because the cocky kid, Austin just ignores me when I try to talk to him if something is his or not. He's asked me to borrow pencils and pens and I've always said yes - I'm a bit of a pushover. I just don't understand why he dislikes me! Judgmental much? I was walking over to the techer's desk to ask her if I could borrow some white-out and on my way over I asked him to push in his chair. He sighed in an annoyed way and pretended to ignore me. When I walked by his and his friend's desk to hand them the stapler, they said "Woot!" sarcastically and motioned for me to leave them alone. Any help? What should I do? Why do you think he dislikes me?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thank-you.

Personally, I think they only do this because they feel that it's "cool" and we just happened to be the people they picked to target. What I do is just make an even more sarcastic, clever remark back and it shuts him up. Just put him in his place and he'll be silent :).
Also, don't act like he's bothering you. Just roll your eyes like he said something extremely stupid.
There's really nothing to do about it, except wait. He'll stop after a while when he gets bored and sees you're not giving him the reactions he wants. Good luck :) [ beckyboo's advice column | Ask beckyboo A Question ]
