-Advice (about School)-

You aren't making a big deal about nothing.

Physical bulling is a real problem that needs to be adressed before it gets worse. Now, how you deal with it depends greatly upon how old you are: because you aren't COPPA'd, I'll assume you're in upper middle or high school.

If you're in middle school, go to your parents. From personal experience, middle school teachers don't really seem to understand that bullying is a real problem ("they're just kids, what can they do?") and figure you're too young to really know what's going on or are making stuff up. Getting your parents on board might sound stupid, but teachers are more likely to listen to them. In the case your parents don't care or don't understand, try a teacher you know for a fact is good and will listen.

If you're in high school, you can honestly just walk into the councillors office (or whoever you're supposed to go to), tell them you're being bullied physically. They have to deal with it, legally. Assault is a crime.

Now, I don't know what your heritage is, or what racial relations are like where you live. If it's a place the teachers will likely ignore it because you're part of a minority or of a discriminated heritage, I'd take it up with my parents first. Teachers can be pretty awful with that.

Anyways, there's my 2 cents. If it sounds dumb, don't listen, I'm in no way an expert. But I really would advise you to tell someone.

Thank you, really


I live in a place where my heritage isn't exactly....hated. But, they aren't exactly treated equally. We are called 'gringos' which is a hated word for American. I've told my parents, and they really are helping....Sort of. The teachers aren't the nicest people on earth...I just wish my mom would let me go to school online. I'm sick of having to hide in my classroom, and dread the next recess. I honestly want it to stop. My friends help, though I only have a few. They are also Americans like me. So, my parents are trying their hardest but the advisors believe it's nothing. So, from my situation, you can probably guess I'm in middle school. >.<. My teachers don't even take it on as a real problem, just a little kid complaining about school.

Well, yeah my mom's looking at other options. It doesn't really help the fact that the school I'm going to now, is labeled as the best in the country. So, that slims the pickings. If I went to online school, I wouldn't really miss anyone...So, that seems like the best choice. My mom says I have to make it till spring break, to see if things get better. Then that's when they're going to decide what to do with me.

As is bulling in the workplace, whatever sort it is. (At least in the UK) As school is a child's 'workplace' more or less, I found it weird that it doesn't apply there. (If they are under the age criminal responsibility I can understand as that's the age that our country's set for that definition, so I can't argue that.)

I'm from the UK, and so if you're from there I can give you perspective on that. I'm now in Uni, so I can give you my experiance on GCSEs and sixth-form and life during then as well. I also went to middle school, because I'm from those weird bit of the country that still have middle schools! So yeah!

If youaren't from the UK, then you can still ask me questions, I just won't be able to help with academic stuff. (Unless you want to find out about it of course!) XD

If I think rightly, then spring break is pretty soon, so just take one day at a time. Maybe try and think of something positive that happened each day might help until then, it doesn't have to be related to school, even! I hope you get everything sorted out. I remember getting bullied in a disgusting way. (Legally, it is a form of assault, and is a huge insult in the UK, and personally it makes me gag.) And it was because I was a lesbian (which I aren't) so it was technically homophobic as well. Looking back I wish I had called them out on it, in that class, but I was scared to do so.

Yeah, spring break is coming...I honestly can't wait. Strange, I do think of positive things...and that happens to be Chickensmoothie c:

I really hope everything turns out well for you <3
You really don't deserve to be bullied.. It's awful that you have to put up with it.
Please let us know how you're doing, I'm sure we would all be glad to help if you're still struggling <3
Good Luck!

Nobody does for that matter even if it seems pretty trivial - I was bullied in high school and the whole system there was a pansy - it will affect you in some way. I am a confident person but I have low self-esteem because there were a lot of comments about my appearance when I was bullied - even though I could do nothing about it. (My teeth, face, hair, weight.)
