I have a couple rumors going on at my old school about me that are not true and was wondering if anyone can?

Question

help me out. There not bad at all its just something about me getting picked on last year and me ending up having to be home schooled which did happen. 7th grade at the end of the year. I am home schooled this year (2008) for 8th grade and i'm going back to the same school except its the new high school with the same name of the school where all those kids will be going back to. I was just wondering if anyone can help me on some tips about how to brush off the kids that harrased me and will be harassing me next year. I joined a sport last year...and I dropped out of it cause the kids were 100% horrible to me. I just need some tips on how to handel the kids.....any suggestions???/

Answer 1

Nothing bothers teenage kids (especially teen girls) more then someone who will not respond to their taunts. At first they will try to bug you more, but after a few times they will get board, the whole reason they do this is because they think it makes them look better in front of their peers, but they look pretty dumb making fun of someone that it doesn't seem to bother.

Answer 2

It's not just ignore them, it's HOW you ignore them.  Many times kids won't verbally respond to a bully, but the lowered eyes, head down and hunched shoulders are enough to let the tormentor know they are hurting you.  If you are going to ignore them, make sure you control your body language.

Also, I agree with one of the other posters about laughing AT them.  When I was younger kids would tease me about my name, it's pronounced Tah-mar-rah.  They would say something to the effect of What's your brother's name Yesterday?  or they would sing the song "Tomorrow" from the play/movie Annie.  I would just look at them like they were idiots and with my voice dripping in sarcasm reply "Wow! you are sooo funny!  No one's come up with that one before."  They stopped.

Or even laugh along with what they are saying about you.

If they think it doesn't hurt, they will usually stop.

Answer 3

laughing at them usually confuses them and works well to embarrass them.  Also, saying something just plain logical like, what did you hope to accomplish from saying/doing that?

It makes them stop and then they feel foolish.

Answer 4

try talking to your parents about whats happening and ask for there advice. i am 13 and i have home education because i was being bullied so i know what it feels like. if they are just calling you names just say something really offencive to them. if they are hitting you then smack them back twice as hard. if there doing these things listed above and more then i suggest you ask your mom and dad if you can move to a different school or have home education.

Answer 5

mabey kids will just drop it after all that was last year. all you really need is a few friends. and hang out with them and try to avod the other kids who are givin you a problum. or if that doesnt work just beat the holly h**l out of each and every one of them .or if you dont wanna fight just deal with it and hopefully after a while they will drop it.

Answer 6

There are some good answers here but if it goes beyond the usual taunts and is so bad you had to leave public school and be homeschooled, I'd say it's time for action by adults.

I'm a huge supporter of a parent saying, "If you don't protect my child, you'll be hearing from my lawyer!" said directly to a school official. If they say, "Kids will be kids," your parents need to point out to them that some kids are cruel to the point of murder and they don't intend for THAT to happen to THEIR child.

Parents are so used to the established educational system treating everyone equally, they forget that some students need more protection than others and some need more discipline than others.

Get the bullies into a homeschool situation because your family got their butts kicked out of school!

Answer 7

Ignore them, dont let it get to you. exspecially in there presence. if they see u hurt they got what they wanted and will continue it. If you ignore them they should leave you alone after a while. good luck.

Answer 8

go beat em up, that's what i would do.

Answer 9

simple...Ignore them, it's their problem!
