I really want to move towns but my mum doesn't want to. i haven't exactally asked her but she seems happy here. but i hate it. i get bullied at school constantly and i don't think i can learn well here. any advice? 13/F P.S im from australia.
You should also talk to your mother about what specifically is going on at your school. Tell her who is picking on you and what they're doing. Have her call or go to the school and speak to the principal.
You could also go down and talk to him/her. Be very assertive. Say, "(Name of people) have been (whatever they've been doing) and I want it to stop." If you say something aggressively, he/she will be more likely to take care of it.
As far as the bullies go, if they're just saying things to you, try not to show them that it bothers you. You have to be aggressive back to people or you'll get picked on a lot in the world. If your bullies see that you are not going to stand for their crap and that they need to move on to someone else, they most likely will with a little bit of time. Just stay strong.

If she isn't willing to move even after you've talked with her, maybe see if she can talk to an administrator at your school. Surely they can do something. Bullying isn't tolerated anywhere, and I'm sure they'll put a stop to it.
You, however, need to stand up for yourself. I can understand the fear of a bully and not wanting to get hurt, but I'm sure it would hurt more to be picked on, than to do something about it. You also need to learn to ignore them. They are no one important so you must treat them as so. If you don't acknowledge them, they'll soon get tired of picking on you. It isn't fun to pick on someone who doesn't react. Remember, they're just doing this to get a rise out of you. The more you react, the more you encourage them.
I can only tell you that things will get better. You'll make friends (if you haven't already, you didn't exactly say) & things will be fine. Ignore them and concentrate on your studies. Bullying has nothing to do with the teachers. :)
I hope this helps you, and if you need anything else, feel free to send me an INBOX question, or you can e-mail me as well. My e-mail address is on my column. :) [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]

Its sad but maybe go out with your mom and buy some new clothes get a make over. It may not work at first but it's worth a try! [ HeathyTeens's advice column | Ask HeathyTeens A Question ]
JustJessOx answered Sunday May 17 2009, 8:08 am: I'm really sorry to hear about you getting bullied =[
but you should honestly talk to your mum about it nothing ever gets better if its left in the dark.
tell her whats going on and explain to her about how your not happy so something can be sorted it maybe not as irrational as moving towns because running away from your problems doesnt always fix them in reality.
if you tell your mum she can talk to the school and make the bullying stop.
I know it seems scary the thought of it but if you dont do anything and just run away from it theese cowardly low life bullies are going to continue being this way to other people.
if you try to sort it out,and you are still really unhappy why not consider moving schools? if there are any other in the area rather then towns?
Im really very sorry to hear whats happening and i hope everything gets better and works out for you,and that i helped anyway in the slightest..please consider telling someone close about this.
