Am I being Bullied?
I'm a 10th grader so a sophomore in high school (a private high school) and only 3 or 4 people like me in the whole school (its a VERY small school) I notice that a large group of people (the popular people) whisper to other people about me when they see me. I don't know what ther'ye saying, but i can tell that they're talking about me because they look and me and laugh when they do it. Is this considered bullying or not? How should i handle this? I already have way low self esteem and I know that's bad but I don't know how to get a higher self esteem... It makes me feel really bad and I often go home and cry in my bedroom about it I've told my mom and she just said that I need to ignore it...and I've tried but it seems that there is no way I can ignore it. Please I need help. I don't know if I can confront them i'm also very shy and scared... :(

1 yes You are being bullied i had that last year but you can live through. If you have friends do the same about them. laugh about them and make them actually believe it. or if you don't want to be mean i guess all you have have to do is ignore them there is not much you can do if your nice.

No talking about someone behind their back, or whispering about them where the can see them is not truly bulling them. It doesn't even come up to taunting.
You have some friends which is good. You need to spend time with them and not worry about the other kids in school. I know it is easy for me to write this and herder for you to accept this. Thing is that these kids will only be in your life for another year or two and then you will all go your separate ways. Some of you will go off to college, some will go into the military and some will go off to seek there fortunes in the work place. High school friendships are never or rarely life long.
As for low self esteem. I look at the world this way The only person I have to be better than tomorrow is the person I am today. It is a motto I have used all my life. I am now retired from a great career in Sales and Marketing. That motto and this one; If I leave the house in the morning an not learn anything, I have wasted the day. I never worried about making a sale on a particular day. I was more interested in learning something about my business, my customers business and the people they served. The more I knew the better I was able to do my job which insect was to help my customer make money with my products.
How does relate to you and school. The better you are as a student the more valuable your friendship will be. Yea I know, no one really likes the class nerd. At least in front of the other class clowns and hipsters. Even in school friendships are all about networking. Networking is all about what the other person can do for me. Can being with them make me look good. Can they help me with my studies. This hasn't changed from when I was in school.
You don't need to worry what others think. You just need to worry about you and how you can better yourself. If you can be a better person tomorrow than you are today your self esteem will rise as well.
