How to be left alone.?

Question

Now, Im in high school. I have a lot of friends and I basically talk to everyone.. But still theres this kid who makes it his objective to p**s me of day in and day out. and this has been going on since i can remember going to school. I try and keep my distance from him and I tried getting my alot of my friends to say stuff to him and they did.Which worked for a little then he comments a friends myspace picture that i also commetned saying ANDREW NEEDS TO DIE....ive contemplated that idea a few times over the years because of this..Never did it because I didnt want him to get that feeling of closure(because hes so F***ed up that he might actually be happy as a pose to feeling like a total S*** face the rest of his life)...I truly would not care half as much if I knew why...but as far as I can tell, and as everyone Im friends with can tell there IS NO REASON and since this has been ging on for almost 7 years now...Should i just assume its going to continue until we graduate and move on to college..or Is this kid going to grow up eventually...WE are going to be in ninth grade this coming school year(08-09)...I was pretty sure making fun of kids went out back in 2001(Second Grade) but...I guess not..Basically all im asking for is people who have experianced things like this,and could guide me into a sutiable alternative to just waiting for the moment that he pushes me over the edge enough to kill him, or myself. Thanks.

Answer 1

here are my recommendations:

> be chill about it. be understanding. he probably has a lot of problems of his own if he is doing all that to you.

> tell your school counselor or a trusted adult (lame but a good idea). let them figure out what action should be taken. it's their job.

> in the mean time, keep doing what you are doing. keep your distance but don't be mean to him like he is to you. who knows what would happen if he got too angry? high school shootings can happen everywhere...

anyway, good luck man. that kid sounds pretty messed up. hope you can get it figured out.

Answer 2

You'll be alright there man.  I was also bullied in school for several years.  It's no fun.  At least it seems you realize he's insecure and is just taking it out on you.  Oh, and bullying doesn't go away.  Sorry but there will always be those people.  Even when you are an adult sometimes.  It gets better though usually.  People don't mess with me anymore.  At least you have friends.  Does he?  Also, this could and probably will backfire on him someday.  Most bullies have a criminal record by age 24.  It's a fact.  Google it.
