Dear Sally,\n\nFriends do not bully friends, especially best friends.  You need to work on your self esteem and find new friends and let new people (nice ones) get to know you.  You certainly deserve better than that.  Friends are supposed to bring out the best out of us not to make us sad.\n\nI heard that no one deserves your tears and the ones who would deserve your tears would never want to make you cry because they love you too much.\n\nGood luck!  Big hugs

Stand up to them and show them that you will not back down and let them bully you. When they call you names, call them names too. When they throw things at you, throw things right back at them. Whatever their doing to you, you make their life a living hell also. If they see fear in you then they will continue to bully you this way. It doesn't matter that it's more of them and just you. You make them see that yow will not let them ruin you. Stand up for yourself and these girls will know not to mess with you anymore.

ur friend might be absolutely right.they all might be really jealous of u.so don't worry abt people esp those who don't even know u.\ninfact don't worry abt anyone.as long as u r right and as long as u know that u've done nothing wrong don't worry at all.just be urself and talk to those who talk to u properly.be nice to everyone and never put ur head down.if the peoblem persists then just go to ur bf and ask him on his face the reason why he's doing all this.and if he doesn't give any reason then just tell him what u think of him for doing such things and tell him that he's been doing cheap things and all these things don't bother u at all.\n\nmake him feel like a fool.tell him that by doing this he is ruining his own dignity and not urs and tell this to everyone.\nso when u say something like this they'll definitely know that u r quite strong and they'll stop doing such things slowly.\n\nand if u don't want to do all this stuff,then just keep saying this word to urself when anyone says anything to u or whenever u remember anything they say"AKUNAMATATA"=no worries.\nmake it a habit.\n\nTRUST ME IT WORKS.\n\nhope i was of some help to u .all the best.i'm there for u always.\ngood luck.\ncontact me if u have further trouble.

They're porbably afraid of what to say to you.  They probably have never had something like that happen before and so they're scared.  Your true friends hopefully feel safe and not scared to be around you and talk to you.  It just takes some time for them to get used to you.  Have a conversation with them and your guidance counselor.  Basically, all you can do is give it some time.  If you don't feel comfortable, have a conversation with your parents about possiblility of transferring schools.  Good luck, I hope you're doing better.  stick with it, life is very precious and you're special, don't ever forget that.

People can be so mean, why can't they just worry about themselves. I think when people make fun of your friend it is because they are jealous of her confidence.

first, you need to stop being so hard on your self. hon, no one is perfect. your friends/relitives only tease you because they dont know how insecure you are. just tell them that you dont like it . and if your friends dont stop, well they arn't really good friends, are they? as for scars, evryone has scars, its what makes us different.and if you need to talk, e-mail me kool2bkatt@yahoo.com as for hair, hell, my hair is so limp it makes my face look a foot long.

Why are you always picking on me?

You're suffering from "peer pressure" but lucky for you, you see it's wrong and it makes you unhappy.  If you are unhappy with yourself you can make no one happy in the long run.  Stay true to yourself and respect yourself for being comfortable enough for being who you are.  There is a big wide world beyond school out there and the best way to get a start is to "stay true to yourself".  Good luck!

You are a courageous young lady!  The people who taunt and laugh at you are not worth your salt!  If you continue to work on your condition, you will in time draw yourself to friends who will help you grow,  not destroy you.  \n\nYou are able to know what you want in life, do something useful with your talents, gifts.  Focus on those things that build you up.  As far as you can, speak to someone safe about those hurts you get from insensitive people.  Remember, these friends will also go on to hurt even their own group, in other ways.  Just bc you are one of few who have this problem, you seem to be singled out for bully.  \n\nActually, if they say, "nikki, you look anorexic", you can admit and say, "well, actually, I am bulimic", in a firm tone, withuot smiling.  You mean what you say.  Listen to their 'jokes' about you, only their tones make it sound hurting.  But you are really being helped to grow out from it, if you are able to 'read' it for its healing tone.  But dont ever look to them like you are agreeing with their insults.  Look serious enough to send the message that yeah, you know they know you have a prob, but, that they don't know you are working on helping yourself get out from under it!  \n\nYou will really confuse them, bc their intention is meant to embarass you,  but you will only hear the challenge part, not the bully part. \n\nI'm all for your growth from this ailment.  I hope you will learn healthy habits, even from listening to those who seemingly want to hurt you.  Listen only for the part that will spur you on to climb over your obstacles, not get run down.  \n\nGo for it, girl!!  Yeah!

Yeah, I went through that 6th-8th grade. It just feels like everyone hates you. You are an easy target. I had to change schools, my behavior and appearance to find my will to live, and friends. DON'T let others judge your self-worth. Who are they anyway? Everyone is equal.\n\nI heard that people who feel bad about themselves enjoy making other people feel low, so they can feel better about themselves. See how it works?\n\nIgnore them. Only God will love you unconditonally because he understands you inside and out. Draw close to him and ask for friends who will love you for you,

There are many reasons why people bully.  Often because they are very insecure in themselves.  Sometimes they are angry or upset or feel that they don't fit in.  It may be a way of showing off to peers and looking tough and important and in charge.  People who bully others in one setting may be getting bullied themselves in some other setting, such as at home or school.  Bullies may be scared of getting picked on so they make sure to do it first.  If they don't like themselves they may take it out on someone else.  Sometimes they think it will make them more popular.  Sometimes they do it to get attention.  Others might be jealous of the person they are bullying.  They may just want to make others afraid of them.  It sometimes makes them feel braver or more important or better about themselves.\n\nThese links should help.

i reckon that everyone has been bullied at least once in their life. i use to get bullied all the time when i was in grade prep to 4 for being asian. i was the only one being bullied because of my background. they use to do all sorts of ugly things to me. i was even dacked at one point. they woulds teal my money but rubbish in my bag and call my nasty names. they would even try to get me into trouble and the teacher believes them and did nothing to help me. it all stopped when i was in grade 5 and i somehow became popular. back then i use to hate myself fro bveing asian but then i realized that hey, im not the one complaining and bitching about being asian. i use to hate life so much i  wanted to die, but its part of growing up and its just somethig that you experience to learn more about life. oh yeah u answered my question about the paris hilton perfume, where did you read the info about the chemicas that attract the opposite sex? sorry this is the only way for me to contact you/

All the answers above are relevant (I've never heard of the God one though). It all comes back to insecurity. Bullies pick on other people to draw attention away from their own insecurities. They also want to feel "in control" and powerful. Maybe the bully's home life is bad and bullying is a way to regain control in a place where there is no control. Bullies most likely need help themselves. I always pitied bullies when I was in high school and younger. When you go back to your reunion someday, you'll either see that the bullies aren't as sucessful or they wised up and are nicer. They may even become your friend or significant other someday. Just hang in there. Everything gets better as time goes on.

Don't even argue, and don't talk about other people.  Treat all people nicely, even the ones who are mean to you.\n\nFirst, treating people nicely will keep you out of trouble.  Second, it is no fun to bully someone if they won't get mad.  If you get mad, she will keep doing it.  If you don't, she will eventually feel foolish and stop, because it is not working.\n\nBottom line--be nice to everyone, even to her.  If you offer candy, offer her some.  If you play games, invite her to play.\n\nAny other solution will just lead to more trouble.  Even ignoring her won't make it go away, because she will see that it is bothering you, and you will eventually explode.

Maybe they are jealous of you. U R probably super cute, and to make themselves feel like they have control over you, they make you feel unworthy. Just move on, it's High School, and everyone fits in somewhere.
