Bully in school?

Question

There's this kid in class who thinks he is tough and is always sitting around his buddies, I dont really pay him any attention but for the past 3 days he's been picking on this kid who sits by me. Stole his calculator out of his bag and have just been tormenting him. I feel really bad for this kid being bullied but now the a*****e got the whole class messing with him. I don't want the kid to come back and shoot up the school or anything, and if I stick up for him, which I'm going to end up doing, would probably hurt my reputation. I'm in 11th grade.

What are your opinions, what should I do?

Answer 1

write a note to a teacher but don`t sign your name

Answer 2

well, if u think helping someone might hurt ur reputation, i cant help u. put urself in his shoes. thats all.

Answer 3

Whoop his behind.

LOL, no.

Confront him or if you're scared get the bully victim and you to tell the teacher.

Answer 4

There are no options as such.  Do you think this kid is more important then your reputation?  If that's the "honest truth" then there's something wrong with this picture.

Just read an article in the paper just about this very thing.  Group of kids (around your age) are learning to step in and take charge.  Bully's always run in packs.  They're too scared to act alone.  

Get your friends together and stop what's going on.  If they don't don't support you, then why have them for friends.

Next time this c**p happens, take your book bag (make sure it's heavy enough) and start swinging while SCREAMING as loud as you can.  With a little hope and a prayer, others will come and join you.  None of the other kids like these bully's either and maybe the kid being bullyed will learn to defend himself right along with you.  At least you're sticking with him. Who else does he have but you.

I don't like advocating getting back.  What I do advocate is stepping in and helping someone who is well out numbered and being bullied.

For God sack, there are war's going on right here in our schools.  I don't even want to think about what has happened at some of our schools already, but I just can't.  The only ones who don't think or care about such ugly things, are the bullies.

You do what you think is best.

Answer 5

either just talk to ur teacher about it or parents always can help with that kind of stuff too.....trust me i no...this guy on my bus always is like hitting me and stuff and idk if i should talk to my parents about it or not, but i would suggest u should because it's not about u...

Answer 6

It wont hurt your reputation at all son.

You said the bully was an @ hole and I'd be willing to assume most other kids think the same thing about him.If you can get a few other guys to go with you to confront him, and people will see you as a hero, not a jerk for standing up for someone who is being bullied.I bet that kid would appreciate knowing someone cared enough to stick up for him.If nothing else , tell the school counselor or something.

Answer 7

Bullets have no name. Stand up for the kid, how could your reputation be hurt by doing the right thing? Anyone that thinks you are wrong isn't worth your consideration.

Answer 8

feed the bully to the the school principal... skip the teacher...your fears are justified... and remember that if the kid knows you stuck up for him.. you wont be in his sights....

Answer 9

dude trust me I'm in 10th grade and picking on someone is not cool. are the kids in your class hairy and play sports and whatever? Never mind.

If you are of reasonable height and have enough rep you could be like "dude wtf stop being a lil b***." What ever you say just don't include the words 'leave him alone'. It makes the kid feel isolated as if he is someone on a lower social level then every one else.

And don't worry about the kids beating you up. Its very unlikely. I know that i myself would love to get smashed up a little bit by a few kids for a good cause. It shows how much i care. ANd i can tell that you too have a heart of compassion because you posted this question. even If they attacked me i would of had an excuse to hit 1as hard as i can in the face and maybe mess them up (lets see how cool they look then. lol)  by the way. I'm extremely skinny and unintimidating so its not like im talking from the point of view of someone who would have stood a chance

dude, standing up for this kid shows your ability to stand up for whats right and not be a lil b*** like the others

even if the kids want to jump you, its OK to run! :o) running because you have defended someone is not cowardly at all
