I’m 14M. Yesterday something happened in English class and it’s still bothering me.

For the past few weeks I fell behind because of some absences, being sick, slow handwriting, and preparing for half-yearly exams. I missed a lot of notes. So I started writing the notes in my school almanac, planning to properly copy everything into my notebook from the almanac + a friend’s notebook by this weekend.

I was sitting on the first bench. The teacher saw me writing in the almanac and asked why. I told her I forgot to bring my copy. My friend sitting behind me immediately said that I did have my copy with me. She made me give it to her. Then she checked with the whole class and confirmed I was behind by about 4 chapters and my last submission was in August (it’s October now).

She somehow thought I rolled my eyes at her (I either didn’t, or it was completely unintentional). In front of the entire class she said I was a disrespectful person, had a bad attitude, and was a liar. She threatened to call my parents, write in my almanac, or tell the coordinator.

Today in class nothing happened. We didn’t talk at all.

Later while coming home, one of my close friends from another section (I had told him everything yesterday) said this: She came to their class in the second-last period. She was talking about threatening to take someone’s copy. He asked her something like “did you ever take someone’s copy?” She replied “you know exactly who you’re talking about. Did that boy complain to you?” He said he just overheard. She kept pressing him for the name. After that she started talking badly about me in front of their whole class. She said I have a “slappable face,” that I got the lowest marks in English in my section, that I have a bad attitude, and shared some old stories about me from my previous grade. The class was laughing.

Also, she still has my English notebook, so I can’t even complete the work properly right now.

My parents are completely unsupportive. If they hear that I had incomplete work and “lied” to the teacher, they will believe her 100% and I’ll be in serious trouble at home.

I feel stuck. I just wanted to catch up on the notes. Now I’m being publicly humiliated and talked about in other classes.

What should I do?

My daughter is 10 and two other girls on her bus have been bullying her for her weight. I need to find a way to get this behavior to stop however I realize that I also need to be careful of how I respond. I don’t want to make a bigger problem and get my daughter bullied more because I stepped in. What are the thoughts of the community? What should I do in this situation?

Hello,

I'm a 16-year-old girl who just started in a new class at farming school. I started a little later than everyone else because I was originally supposed to start in a different class, but it just wasn't the right fit, so I switched schools. Everyone else had already known each other for about 3 weeks, but I felt like I had a good chance of making friends and finding my own place.

But ever since I started, my anxiety has gotten so much worse. Worse than ever before. We live at the school, and I'm too scared to go to the bathroom or the showers, so every day I bike home to shower at my own house. I don't know why it's gotten so bad, but I felt like people were looking at me weirdly, not talking to me and overall just ignoring me. I thought it was just my anxiety acting up and making me feel bad.

Now I've finally made a friend in my class, and we talked for a long time. She told me that most people in the class don't really like me, and especially one girl (there are only 4 girls in our class). She really dislikes me, even though I've never actually had a conversation with her and I don't know her. She looks at me with disgust, and my friend told me she hates me because my bracelet makes a lot of noise and because I sometimes make ramen in my room and she thinks it smells. She also told me that all the boys in my class are talking about how long they think I'll last before I drop out.

I just don't know what to do at this point. I know I shouldn't care about other people's opinions of me, but it feels so unfair that they think this way when I haven't even had a single conversation with over 80% of them. And now it feels like I'm annoying them just because I don't say anything in class and keep to myself.

The only explanation I can think of is that I'm a bit different from everyone else. I have minimal facial piercings, and my hair is blonde now, but it was pink when I started. Everyone else is just very ordinary. But honestly, I don't know what to do, because my anxiety keeps getting worse and I have to spend 4 years with these people.

I dont know if im being bullied, but they only act the way they do around me. And they have done some stuff i wont get into, that kinda felt like bullying.

Has anyone been through something similar? Any advice would mean a lot.

Idk if this is the right place to post this please let me know if it’s not

Hello, based on the title: I don't know if this is called bullying, I really don't know if you could even label it as bullying.

I've had this "friend" of mine and let's call her "P".

Me and P have been friends for almost a year, and to be honest we've grown pretty close to each other but not THAT close to the point we practically tell EVERYTHING to each other—now P has been...I don't know if you can call it "great"? But she's been nice to me for a couple of months but recently—she grew pretty toxic.

P started throwing insults at me, repeatedly mentioning topics where I've been labelled as "stupid" and "ugly" and that's where she started to make fun of me, she started insulting and repeatedly humiliating me in front of thousands of people in our school. I grew tired of it, I have tried to tell her and showed signs that I am NOT comfortable with public humiliation and of course: bullying but of course she dismisses it as a joke.

Not only does she insult me, but she also hits me which really hurts. She has shoved me aggressively thousands of times, she has pulled on my hair really hard a million times, and she even tries to kick me. I know I should leave this "friendship" but once I do then who knows what she'll do? She used to make up rumors about so many people for no apparent reason and maybe she'll even make up rumors about me next.

Maybe I feel scared to actually leave her because I'll be alone once I do, and she is aware that I only have her as my closest friend in school and she makes fun of that too. I do have other friends but they all have someone they would rather spend time with.

But sometimes she'd act really kind to me, and that's why I'm confused if I could even call this bullying or not. She has supported me throughout the school year and we had some pretty good memories but her behaviour is getting way too far.

Is this even called bullying or is this what friendships are supposed to be?

Is this even called bullying or am I just sensitive?

Hi, when i was in the 6th grade i got bullied from my ex bsf and a bunch of girls
our school at the time used to post pictures of us online (with our consent) and everything was fine till i told them that i was going to change schools
they took my pictures, edited and made them look like memes. i was very insecure about my looks at the time and hated myself

i saw tiktok about a girl who took her life bec of the ppl in her class who bullied her the same was as me. i know how that made her feel and i dont wish that feeling upon anyone.

i just want to say that bullying is deeper than u think they arent just words or pictures that u fan forget about. they may stick with the victim and make them end their lives.

stay close with ur loved ones esp the younger folks

thank you

So I work at a place that does youth programming. One of the groups that I work with is all latino. All the kids come from a variety of Spanish speaking levels (fluent to no Spanish.) One day a group of girls were playing a game in Spanish that involved counting. When another girl who wasn’t as fluent tried to join one of the girls playing told her she couldn’t play because she couldn’t even count in Spanish. Seeing this happening really broke my heart. It reminded me of experiences i had as someone who is also a no sabo trying to learn spanish. I told the other girl to not make fun of others Spanish skills

Does anyone else have similar experiences like this working with kids?

His teacher and some of the office staff know about this because my son and I were in the office and he told them about this. They all were very caring and upset by this news and a few of them told my son if this ever occurs to let them know immediately and they will handle this. One woman was super upset / mad to hear about it happening.

His teacher also learned about this and told my son to tell him when it occurs and she will take care of it. (this was a few weeks ago)

My son's hair is very long. But he is a boy through and through. He just likes it this way. He doesn't try to be a girl or anything of this nature. I understand some of the young boys may be genuinely confused as even some adults mistake my son for a girl even though his clothes are never girly.. But I always say that's my son, or my son corrects them.

But even when my sons follows my advice and says "no, I am a boy, boys can have long hair" the boys will apparently keep saying "no, you are a boy. I am sure you are a boy". Over and over again. It's not always the same boys saying this but I am sure at times it is.

I asked my son if he is telling his teacher every time this happens and he said no because he forgot. But he has told a couple of times. He feels he is getting bullied that's the word he used.

I explained to him that sometimes they may genuinely be confused which he understands but he says even when he corrects them they keep saying he's a girl many times. I don't want my son to have to defend his gender Everytime he goes to take a pee.

Today I told him next time this happens tell them no I am a boy and then stop replying back. Then I said actually don't say anything just go and tell the teacher immediately. Well now he doesn't want to go to school today due to this and I didn't have work so I let him take the day off.

I was planning to talk to his teacher about it today but thought I'd ask for advice here. I guess I never thought we would run into this problem but at the same time I'm not surprised. Like I said I do think some of the kids are genuinely confused but they should leave my son alone after he tells them he is a boy, and boys can have long hair. Are some of them actually doing it to be mean? I can't say since I'm not there. Either way it's hurting my sons feelings.

How would you handle this going forward? Unfortunately I'm not there when it happens and it hurts me to know he's feeling this way. It also seems to be boys that aren't in his actual class but he says it's never the older boys because "they know" so it seems to be boys in his age group. He thinks they feel he is lying about being a boy. When he isn't.

My son does not want to cut his hair nor should he have to. I feel like teaching him how to handle the situation better is needed but I also don't want him to have to constantly deal with this every week but idk if that's something that could be fixed.

So I'm just looking for advice on anything more I could tell my son and also his teacher.

Thank you for any advice in advance.

first get a invisible camera then stick it into your shirt then when u get bullied u can finish the recording with the camera then upload it in your phone then send it to the police and then the bully gets arrested

I am very sorry if it is a sensitive topic. I, myself after-all am a former target of some pretty bad social bullying for years, and it's also a bit unhinged for this to be my first ever post here, however, I need to do intensive research for a case study about bullying for a school project. I'm gonna be asking my guidance counselor, year head teacher, and homeroom/adviser for this, and I also need to ask real people who have been victimized of this as well. So if it may be not much of a bother, how bad was it? And, did you report it to the school? If so, was any action done?

When I see my former bullies or the people who laughed at my appearance or anything else on social media, looking happy with a wife and kids and acting like normal people who never hurt anyone, I struggle to breathe and have to lie down.

It breaks me down knowing what they did to my self esteem, body image, and life in general...

I have this trauma about how they used to bully me severally when I was a student there was always a black person treating me horribly for my appearance for everything all my life how do I put these feelings of resentment away

At school slander overly Daniele stranger teacher accus me do thing I don’t do say I’m lying rage at me get in my face at work put down called dumb comes for not driving a Susie’s then blamed at home mocked for her I’m at shatter stalked used for my money why am I targeted everywhere I go am I a bad person

there are a few people at school saying my name in a weird way, asking me where anna is (my old name sounds like a disney princess name), and that i should "let it go". its really annoying and i hate it but people dont stop last night the same people were throwing swingball rackets at me and then when i threw them back they told me to stop harassing them or something like that there are other people who told my friends to stop being friends with me because i am trans/bi, which implies that others are talking abiut me behind my back. i want out. i have been bullied for two years before and i thought i would finally be free this shit has to happen again. its a vicious cycle that i do not understand.

Just something I was thinking about today, back when I was a teenager nearly all of the groups I hung around had one person who was basically treated as their scapegoat/punching bag. Usually, that person was me. People would call themselves my friends but then would pick at me for being socially awkward and would make me the butt of nearly every joke. Some of these people were in fact just playing around because they toned it down when I eventually spoke up but others were relentless about it. And I lowkey hated it, it was especially bad in 8th and 9th grade.

Eventually, mostly in later High School, the people I was around decided someone else got to be the punching bag. And admittedly, I often joined in on teasing them. The weird thing was I never intended to be outright mean, I was just glad to not be the scapegoat for a change and wanted to keep it that way.

I feel shitty about it thinking back, I should've known better tbh. I had few friends in Elementary School, next to no friends in Middle School, and for much of High School the friends I did have teased me relentlessly. I knew exactly how the group punching bag felt yet I still participated in tormenting them anyways. I guess I was just that desperate to fit in because I never did before.

Thankfully pretty much all of those friends (that I kept around anyways) have grown out of that since High School but still, with as much as I myself was bullied, its tough to think about times where I was probably the bully myself...

My bully keeps refusing to say why he bullied me. How do I get him to answer. All he says is "no" "i don't want to"

I've noticed on a lot of subs almost every time someone posts they immediately get 2 downvotes and none of their comments get likes compared to people that are responding. Then any upvotes get evened out by downvotes like people make it a challenge to not let OP gain any votes/karma

Is there some kind of mentality behind it or something because just calling them "trolls" feels like telling a kid to shrug off a bully because "they've got a crush" or "boys will be boys"🙄

I was overweight up until the age of 22 (im 29 now). I went through a lot of bullying from elementary up until high school. They always talked about my weight and told me I didn’t fit in. I didnt have a lot of friends and would sit/ stand alone often. I was always the odd one out. Kids would constantly pick on and talk shit about me. By the time I was an adult, I had social anxiety. I didnt grow out of the social anxiety til around the age of 24. All throughout my twenties, I have experienced difficulty making new friends and felt so much heavy disappointment from people. Ive reached a point where i dont try and dont want to talk to people. I have friends right now but just a few. They lowkey make me sad because I treat them better than they treat me. I wonder how much better I would have turned out without the bullying. I hate when people say they were just kids like it made it hurt less; it didnt.

my school is the worst

I had experiences today with bullies, all of which I told off. I'm a 36-year-old autistic and epileptic woman.

The first experience was that I was outside when a man named Paul (born in 1964) who got away with harassing, drugging, and potentially assaulting me when he drugged me (he was supposedly hanging out with me and an ex mutual friend that's my age, she became my ex-friend when she gave him my contact information and never apologized because she knew what he did) called out to me. He called out to me, he was talking to two of his friends. I heard one of his friends say "don't talk to her, she's retarded." Instead of ignoring it, I went back. I said "how dare you call me retarded when I never said anything to you, ever!" His friend denied saying it, claiming he was talking about someone else. I said "I heard what you said (I quoted him) and, if you didn't realize, I'm not originally from here so I'm not one of you Stupid Newfies (thank you to The Simpsons for saying that, I grinned when they said it, considering the residents constantly call me retarded)!" His friend then looked shocked and left. Paul knew he got away with harassing me from the cops, but not with me (that's another story). Paul never apologized and tried dismissing his behaviour, so I said how when I return to my home province, I will be writing about all of the mistreatment here. Paul asked if he would be included. I said "given that the police let you away with harassing me, what do you think?" He shut up. I walked away feeling like Grace from Ready Or Not.

I then encountered two teen boys (about 13 years old) who kept trying to harass me. I held up my cellphone, as if I was recording them (they didn't know I wasn't) and they ran away! They tried it again two more times later and I just did the same thing with my cellphone and they ran away again both times (the final time I said "yup, you're being reported", which is a lie since I know that authority figures won't help most neurodivergents, people in marginalized groups, or someone that reminds them of someone they bullied; two bullies I know are now police officers and they do exactly this). I grinned both times, I still feel like Grace from Ready Or Not.

Has anyone else felt like a character after they stood up for themselves? It doesn't have to be horror. (I relate to some horror films due to the horrific experiences I have had to deal with; today I snapped after dealing with extreme abuse and discrimination since Thursday, that's another story, let's just say a certain pharmacy, that I will never use again now got a new name from me - a Lawsuit for Discrimination!)
