Lately i have been having a little trouble at school with some class mates picking on me and taking the mick because im clever and i put my hand up to answer questions and stuff; they call me squiff, and boffin and then on top of that apparently (and i've heard it today from one of my fav. teachers) i worry too much! which is true, so after lesson talked to him and then we got into a discussion about me worrying, and then somehow we got onto the topic of calling people stuff and then i just started crying. I then cryed three more times over the same thing of people calling me stuff. then it doesnt help when i go to next lesson and start cying again, in front of EVERYONE and then i get sent out to 'cool off and relax' anyway i get abck to my next lesson and then people are actually argueing over who upset me!!! I cant deal with it and then my cousin, Ashley (girl) goes and demands that she has the right to know what is the matteer and that she's worried sick about me!!! I just cant stick it anymore!!! And as for my cousin i just am close to hating her!!!!!! THis teacher i talked to is really understanding, but i just feel a bit like a charity case (i'm not sure how to say it) but i got really upset today over nothing!!!!!

Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships? schochie16 answered Saturday May 3 2008, 10:41 am: You can't control how you are preceved you can only control how you are presented. Thats a very good quote. If you worry a lot, just find something that makes you happy like a sport. Personally, i love to run. So when i'm worried or something i can easily just go for a run and its like i'm running past all my problems. Try taking up a knew hobby or something. Volunteer around your community. Don't feel like a charity case your teacher wouldn't spend his time trying to make you fel better if it was all for a joke. I get upset all the time over nothing. But the fact is...that its something. For me, life at home was bad. So i would just try to put on a face but then someone would say something and i would feel horrible. You need to find that thing that makes you upset and learn to take control over it. Not let it control you. For example, if you and your mom have trouble talking to one another suggest talking through e-mail so you can say whatever but if you get her mad...shes not there to yell at you. If you don't like people picking ou you ... the only thing you really can do is ignore it. i'm 13/f to. and i get picked on A LOT but i act dumb a lot but its really because i don't pay attention so i say dumb stuff. OOPS! lol yeah but my grades are good. so when i get honor roll or something people think its a joke. but its not. yeah, but you know, in life people are going to make you mad. People are going to call you names. People are going to through anyone and anything under the bus just to further themself. You can't control people. If they make fun of you you just have to ignore it. there is nothing else you can do. All you really need to do is relax and then when they say something mean just be like...you know what...i don't really care. I'm me and thats all i'm ever really going to be and if they don't like me for the REAL me then do i want them to like me? do i want them to be my friend? I know how it feels to feel that small. but right now your down. Just build yourself up stronger.
hope i helped

To resist feeling down about yourself KILL THEM WITH KINDNESS. Don't you feel good about yourself when you give out a compliment? Well, of course you do! Go ahead and say something nice about their blouse or the way they wore their hair. (make sure it sounds sincere) You'll feel like such a sweetheart and that way it'll be hard for them to tear you down. =] [ LiSaxOBaBii's advice column | Ask LiSaxOBaBii A Question ]
