Scared of being bullied again?

Question

i'm now going into year 10 at school but i'm scared that i might start getting bullied again, ever since i was in year 3 i have been bullied, but last year (in year 9) it stopped for a bit, i don't want it to start again is there anyway i can prevent it???

Answer 1

Bobbey you need to stand up for yourself i would start going to some sort of self defence class. Not only will it keep you fit it will also allow you to look after yourself. :)

Answer 2

try to make as many friends as possible, i used to get bullied years ago but it stops after a while, when you dont respond!

i mena if you respond they will carry on doing it but if you act as if you dont hear them trust me they will get bored of it and move on,

dont worry!

Answer 3

You gotta stand up to them and put them in their place. Fight them and that'll make them know that your not to be bullied even if you loose.

Answer 4

You know, kid... people will tell you to take karate, stand up, be tough.

You know the best one?

There is NOTHING a bully hates more than a victim that refuses to acknowledge they are being bullied. Don't let em get you down, simple as that.

Be warned though, you can't go half-way with this plan. You have to honestly start not caring about them from the bottom of your heart. Laugh it off, kid, they are just pathetic little weaklings, taking solace from anywhere they can. They are the type of folks you should pity. Wish them only the best in life, they have a long hard road ahead of them.

Answer 5

learn karate!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Kick em in the balls and wear a cup so they don't kick you.

Answer 7

Don't get intimidated by a bully, stand up to him or her cause its only your fear which drives them to continue and they love that you allow them to look tough and cool.

Take a couple self defense classes if you need a method of conquering your fears. Nothing like karate, tae kwon do etc. its a waste of time unless plan to take it the full distance, instead you need to learn to fight in the streets, something like Jeet Kune do, Savat  or even kickboxing will do the trick, you don't learn to be fancy you just do moves to take  out an opponent quickly and brutally if needed. stand up for yourself,don't back down, if need be... use force and I'm sure you will then be left alone from then on.

If all else fails pay the toughest kid in your school to protect you :D JK

Answer 8

I can really empathize with you because I was bullied as a child and it makes your life a fearful and miserable one.

Bullies tend to pick on people who they consider to be easy prey ie people with low confidence/self-esteem who are unlikely to retaliate.  However, the people who carry out the bullying also often have low self-esteem/confidence and use bullying somebody else as a way to make themselves look confident/tough to their peers.

The thing is people can only bully us if we allow them to do it.  I know it is really difficult but you must stand up for yourself even if this means resorting to giving them a good right hook.  You don't say whether the bullying is verbal abuse or physical abuse.  If you are unable to do this, then it's a case of reporting it to a teacher/head master.  If the school don't take you seriously then report them to the Local Education Head Office.

I was a painfully shy child, forever clinging onto my mum so I was an easy target.  Up until I was 9 the girl next door used to constantly pull my long hair, even though my dad had spoken to her parents about it on many occasions, it still didn't stop her.  

We then moved and again I was bullied by some of the girls in my year.  Again my dad went to the school and spoke to the head master, and as a result it stopped for a while.  It soon started again and one of the girls pulled my hair, and I just instinctively turned round and pulled hers back.  She never pulled my hair again and I was never bullied by any of the other girls again either.

Be brave you can do it, and standing up for yourself will increase your self-esteem/self-worth.

It might also be worth doing a Confidence & Assertiveness course.  MIND run them, and local colleges also tend to run Assertiveness courses.

Answer 9

There is always a way, stand up for yourself from the beggining and do not let it carry on, tell on them to the teachers and your parents make a big fuss the first time it happens. Thats how it all stops in the end anyway if you dont. They could also get a police caution

You could also get into Muay thai boxing, jujitsu, kungfu etc, for self defence in case

Answer 10

go to home school

Answer 11

Firstly know that the people who bully you are obviously jealous of your abilites maybe your smarter idk. And they will end up worse off than you later in life, no friends, poor job maybe even a drug addict.

It happened to me when i was about your age and although i felt my life sucked then it is amazing now its made me ALOT stronger as a person.

I recommend going to a boxing gym, there cheap and free, let all your anger out there until.. that day when you realise youve become physcially strong enough to defend yourself, your confidence will soar and people will be afraid of you.

Its such a beautiful sport because you can unleash all the memories of being bullied and turn them into your energy.  

I dont condone violence outside of the ring unless your actually being hit your self in which case its self defence :)

Fair enough if its not your thing but give it a try bud and ignore those b*******s out to get you they are nothing!!

Answer 12

I agree with the idea that you take up a martial art - "not" can I stress to hit people with but  to build your confidence and realise what an amazing person you are, we all are in fact.  Keep the line of communication open do not stay quite about being bullied

Answer 13

Being bullied is really hard, I understand what your going through mainly because I was in the same position as you, Is the bullying physical or verbal? If it's physical then I'd advise speaking to a Headmaster/mistress, friends or parents and they will deal with the problem quickly, if it's verbal, then you should try as hard as you can to ignore it, if they think that it's not affecting you then they will eventually stop, if you can't ignore it then again, inform and adult.

I know that it is hard to tell somebody but if you do, they will help you and sort out the problems.

I hope this helped and good luck
