    Being made fun of at school
    I'm so sick of being mad fun of at school. People push me, throw stuff at me and say cruel stuff. It to the point I want them to hurt the way they have hurt me. I hate them very much. I want to say something to them but I don't want to stoop down to their level what should I do?

    I would stand up for yourself. If you don't like what they're doing do something about it, don't just stand around and let it happen.

    What do you do when they start pushing you around and throwing things?
    How do you react?

    Those idiots only do it to make themselves more popular amongst the other idiots :rolleyes:

    I was singled out at school, I basically had no friends until one day I just got "accepted" into the goth group... best friends I ever had. Once I sort of slipped off the radar as a "loner" no-one picked on me anymore.

    How old are you as well?
    It was only in my early high school years that this happened because they were to put it nicely "immature morons"
    Once everyone grew up a little they realised that pushing people around did not make you popular.

    I would suggest sticking up for yourself and getting your friends to stick up for you! Talk to your school counselor or teachers you trust!
    If that doesn't work talk to your parents into letting you switch schools tell them your problems and I'm sure they will understand and want to help you in any way possible

    At 16 they should have grown out of this behaviour by now.
    They really must be immature for their age.

    I personally would use telling teachers as a last resort, sometimes that can get you labeled as as someone who tells on people.

    Do what britEl said and just try to stand up for yourself, threaten to go to your teacher if they don't stop, or even start taking some self defence classes or martial arts, not to hurt them, but just to gain some confidence in yourself.
    Martial arts teach self discipline and above all confidece in yourself.

    Even at 16 they can be extremely immature, people at my school didn't grow up until they reached the end of high school and still some are stupid and immature. Also Shazamataz is right keep the telling the teachers as a last resort because they may start making fun of you for that like you're a snitch or something.

    I agree with you have to tell a teacher and just don't listen to them just walk away they just do it to make themselves feel like their cool but its not cool hurting someone and yea I know its tough I had trouble with the same thing and I'm also 16 and I have made it though and now I don't get made fun of it well all pass if they see it doesn't effect you then they won't do it to you and will move on :)

    Have you talked to your parents? I know you might feel like a child going to your parents about it, but it is the best idea. Try to stand up for yourself, just like everyone here has said. I know you don't want to stoop to their level, but maybe you have to, just once.

    People at my school don't really usually mess with me, because when they do I get them back. Not in a horrible way. But I usually will mouth off to them.. yuou just have to create the tough persona.

    But pleaase promise you won't do anything dumb to get in trouble

    I'm 16 too... when I was 13-14 and 15 others maked fun of me and even beat me... and I stud up by heating them too but it didn't work... one day I slaped a boy... after that he beat me... then I maked all the class laugh at him because his face was red in the shape of my hand... after then he didn't make fun of me again... they will grow up soon and realize it's stupid... now they will only realize what their doing by putting them in your place... I know exactly how you fell except that the didn't call me fat... they picked on my defects... and they knew I was shy so the boys always look'd at me to make me feel like an alien... and talk about me... laugh at everything I do... even when I entered the classroom they started making fun of me... but know I'm at another school and I don't allow to anyone to make fun of me because I scream at them or I make fun of them... What hurted me the most,was that when that boy beaten me no one stud for me not even my best frieds that I tought I had... good luck getting rid of them.

    I know you have heard this before about people who bully,they are insecure.
    That is the truth.
    They have to bring you down to build them self up.

    Tell me about yourself.
    What are your interests in school and out of school?

    Into music or sports or Science?

    What are your assets ?

    Talk to me .I'm an old MOM.

    Do you sing with a group or a choir?The people you sing with must be friends of yours.
    How do you get along with the kids on the track team?
    Is everything OK there?
    The bottom line is you just have to let someone in authority know what is happening and if it continues,I would laugh at them.
    Or ignore them.If they aren't getting a reaction out of you they will get bored.
    Even though you feel like crying on the inside,try not to show them any emotion.
    They are looking for a reaction so try not to give it to them.
    Remember who you are and know that if anyone is ugly and stupid it is people who treat others badly.
    They are ugly on the inside and that is where beauty truly lies.

    Most schools have an Anti-Bullying rule and have harsh punishments for people who are bullies. Also walk around with friends as bullies are probably less likely to try to hurt you when your surround by your friends. I don't recommend getting revenge, but if someone is trying to hit you, fight back. Fighting rules are stupid in school because they basically give the victim 2 choices. Be suspended for fighting back or get beat up badly. My parents always told me to fight back if I had to defend myself or someone else from physical harm. But see if you can tell a teacher first, the best way to solve problems is without violence

    Haha I know those kind of people. Just ignore them and don't take it personally. Just give kind gestures and don't pay attention to them. Sooner or later they should give up because the more aggrovated you get the more they get out of it. Your suffering is the fuel to their flame! So show them it doesn't hurt you and just start catching the stuff they throw at you:) Stand up for yourself, maybe start working out and making some friends. It'll be easier to ignore them that way:) That's my two cents

    Hi again, imepaula!

    It sounds to me like you have quite a bit going for you with the things in which you're involved.

    What type or types of music do you like to sing, please?

    Thanks!

    I sing at my church. Yeah I'm not an emotional person by nature which helps me in that aspect.
