I'm 12 years of age and, I'm kind of fat and ugly. At school I am always getting bullied. I have put up with it for 7 years. I am now in year 7 and completely sick of it. It has come to the point where I want to harm them. And just recently I have started to want to harm myself, I would never do it... but it always sounds like a good option. I don't tell my family much because my Dad just says that I should ignore them, and my Mum says "you've never had a problem with them before. Why start now?" and my sister is an emotional failure, so she can't exactly help. No-one seems to understand how much it truly hurts to be teased:( I wan't them to leave me alone. I can ignore them. But I'm young and can only handle so much. Please help me. No one else seems to care.:(
:confused:

Please get help from your Guidance Counselor. Don't turn to drugs, and join a crowd, it will make a huge difference. I don't know if that helps... I mean I don't live in the US and bullying isn't that common here in Manila... Hope it helps, i_can_sing.

Oh and I guess you can sing? Why not join a singing group/club? That can give you backup and a little lift. Music brings people believe me, you'll find a small group with the same musical preference as yours.

Try talking to your parents again.Also talk to a teacher you like and trust.
Take care.

I agree with sybil,that perhaps talking a teacher you trust will help the situation at school.

Your body is changing and growing,try and eat healthy and exercise it will help your body image and make you feel better about yourself.

I also agree about joining a drama group or club to find new friends.

The reason you feel fat and ugly is because of other people saying hurtful things not because you are!
You should love who you are don't feel like you have to be somebody else to fit in or please other people.
The best thing to do is try and ignore them if you show them that it bothers you then they no they are winning and are just going to torment you all the more.
Don't give them the satisfaction and they will get bored eventually.

If this doesn't work then you should maybe consider talking to someone about it.

It may help you to think of others who were bullied and went on to be incredible people,jesus was bullied and made fun of he was kept out of the popular circles and his take was to feel sorry for his abusers.

You're a very smart special young person who just needs friends, and talking to a trusted adult. If your parents can't help, maybe a teacher, principal, or counselor can.

Bullies are cowards, and idiots, who don't feel good about themselves, and deserve pity for what they do to others. Never believe a thing they say because they are liars too.

Its them who are ugly, and they are jealous because your not.

Just see that you re a great person and being a police officer sounds good. :-)
