Bullying problems.?

About a week ago in 4th period was a moment severly embarrassing for me.
I don't have alot... any friends in that class. Everyone sees me as a target. The teacher left the class for about 6 or 7 minutes, and then one kid who sits next to me slaps me in the face with some folded paper. The kids in class laugh at it, and he does it a few more times, the kids laugh, and I just ignore him for awhile. I was really embarrassed.

The kid behind me pinched me on the back several times, and the stinging pain was unbearable. I let out an angered punch into the area on his head inbetween his eyes. Then they both started to double-team me, while the class laughed.

It's been happening again and again. I wish it would stop. What can I do?

I know what you're going through. I remember being mistreated like that a lot in middle school and high school. I got picked on one day in class for wearing a pokemon shirt that I absolutely loved and some kids thought it was funny to write on it with a perment ink pen. I was so upset when it happened that I cried when I finally got home. Don't lower yourself to their level, don't start picking on them otherwise you're no better then they are. Try not to use violence either because as you saw that doesn't help any. I told the teacher about what happened to my shirt and the bullying stopped when I was in that class but not outside of it. Tell the teacher, it should stop when you're in class at least and that's better then nothing. That is harassment and is illegal, if it continues you can press charges on them and they can get fined or even sent to juvenille hall. If the school district is not willing to do anything about it, such as suspending the kids or expelling them for such behavior threaten to take them to court. This always scares a school district into taking the appropriate actions, my parents had to do this several times to get the punishment that the bullies truely diserved. I hope this helps you, I know how hard it was for me in school to deal with bullies. But like I said, don't lower yourself to their level, you're way better then that and most bullying happens because of jealousy or because they're just jerks who don't deserve the time of day. If you ever need to talk I left you my e-mail address where you can reach me at if you ever need to just talk. Good luck.

good on you for fighting back next time return the favour and pick on them. stand up for yourself and they will no longer see you as a target

Oh boy kiddo. You are in a dilema. One that I was in as a kid.
Telling the principal/teachers/parents just makes them come after you more, but so does not telling.
I'd see if you can change schools. After that, take up karate, judo... something self defense. Even if you cant change schools, take up martial arts. At least you can protect yourself if need be.
I really do wish you luck... I was once there and it isnt easy. Good luck sweetie.

The most intelligent thing to do is tell all the teachers, the staff members, and the principal. Don't be embarrassed when the bullies call you that you're a coward and that you're weak. That's not important. What's important is to stop their bullying.

Talk and discuss with the adults. Tell the teachers exactly who pinches you and teases you, make them suffer the consequences for what they've done. In this case revenge is for justice, not for self-centeredness.

Don't be scared that the bullies might hurt you back. You're a man. Go for it, bud! Good luck.

Maybe the problem is you don't have any friends in that class to stick up for you on your behalf. On the one hand since none of them are your friends it is less embarrassing than if one or two were your friends and did nothing to help because you have to sit with them at lunch and they would remember what happened to you. On the other hand since they are not your friends you'll probably never really care what they think of you really. Try to make a few friends in there if you can and when they stick up for you you can stick up for them to return the favor from time to time so they don't see it as a one-sided friendship.

This is definately bullying and you should tell the teacher about it, or tell your parents and they can see the headmaster without the other kids knowing. Did you know that these bullies are really insecure AND fearful, although they do a good job of hiding it. I am tempted to tell you to fight back and hit them too but that isn't really the answer is it? You are so obvioulsy more mature and intelligent than they are. I would tell your parents because I know that if that was happening to my son or daughter I would want to know and I would do something about it. Can you say to the teacher something like: Miss/Sir, did you know that when you leave the classroom I am bullied by the kids. It happens all the time and I would like to be moved to another class or have the perpetrators punished because it is really getting to me? and then say: Can you advise me on what to do when it happens again?

it doesnt matter if you have friends or not.you just gotta set your mind on thinking you stand tall for #1.next time rip the guy a new *sshole and make him learn to never mess with you again.you get in trouble but you also let him know who is the boss

you should go to a different school and go to therapy. not always but victims are usually victims at home, and bullies are victims at home. and if that's the case therapy will help you to cope with bullies and not acting like victim. it's not your fault, nobody should be picked on. they usually target one person and stick with him/her for long term. tell adults, get them to notify people how damaging bullying is. i've had fantasies of having the bullies go through extreme torture and wish they would just die. no, i'm not going to hurt anyone, but it was fantasy.
