How to cope with bullies?

	How to cope with bullies? Before I explain, I wanna say that I am in a program in Special Ed for asbergers, and I don't talk to people because I'm really shy. There are those preppy girls that sit around my table in mainstream Spanish class, one in back, the other in front, and the WORST OF THE WORST sits across from me (I'll call her Lindsey), so that group talked bad about me behind my back, and I was sitting RIGHT in front of them and I can hear everything. They said that I never talk, that I'm retarded, I have ADD, have I lost my medicine, etc. And they were even looking at me and laughing. I didn't like that at all and I wanted to say something to them, but couldn't, because I'm afraid of standing up to myself, so I thought they probably wouldn't do anything, but I was DEAD WRONG!!! Two weeks ago, they started talking and asking me about random stuff like if I am stupid or something, then out of nowhere, they started asking me if I am gay, because I keep staring at them, I said NO! I just have a staring problem, that's all, and I'm currently working on it, and then they just say, yeah, you're gay alright, and they started spreading the rumor that I am a lesbian, that I am desperate for attention, that I slept with Lindsey's ex-boyfriend, etc., and now I'm pretty much the most hated person in the entire school, everyone stares at me now, everyone laughs at me, everyone talks about me, everyone is ignoring me, even my best friend is against me and now I'm all by myself on lunch and gym class, and now Lindsey, her group of preppy friends and her current boyfriend are now starting to bully me physically, they always take my lunch and throw it in the garbage, they always ask me for the remainder of my lunch money everyday, if I don't, they (and her bf) beat me up after school, block my locker and call me names, take my backpack and always throws it to the next person if I try to catch it, they once stole my lipgloss from my backpack without me even knowing it, put gum in my hair, they would draw naked pictures of me on a piece of paper and write "SL#T", and would make everyone sign the paper saying "We all hate (my full name) so much, we want her out of school, or even better, DEAD", and then in the back, it would have a drawing of Lindsay and her boyfriend shooting me and I'm laying in a pool of blood and they both put their thumbs up, and everyone is now calling me the lonely loser (which inspires me to put the name next to my avatar). One time, me and my mom came to the principals office and told him everything and the principal said he'll do something to stop it, but he never did, he doesn't care. Somehow, Lindsey found out that I tried to get her in trouble, so now she and her friends are bullying me now more than ever, and on Thursday, after school, she, her friends, and most of the kids from the school circled around me and they all took turns beating me up, and I didn't go to school Friday and I didn't go Monday either, because I am TERRIFIED of all the kids in my school, my mom kept calling the program, but all they do is call the principal, and neither my program, nor the principal, did anything to solve it. I can't be homeschooled because my parents work and I want to get out of that school, but my parents won't let me, because, the thing is, I transferred schools alot of times because I was being bullied, and my current high school is supposed to be a great school with strict teachers (who by the way, all plays favorites and usually there favorites are the ones that join in an after school activity or sport). I can't join an after school activity or sport because everyone hates me and I'll just get isolated again, and I'll be hanging around by myself, so it's not an option. I came back to school after two days of being absent before Winter Break and again, Lindsey and her gang ran all her sh*t about me, blocked my locker, punching and slapping me, her boyfriend kicked me in the back, they both asked me why did I come back to school, I'm supposed to be out of that school, because nobody likes me, and that I'm nothing but a Lonely Loser to them, they both say that if I show up to school again after Winter Break, I'm gonna get ridiculed more and get beaten up more. As usual, teachers do nothing, the principal hates me for some reason, and my special ed program doesn't help much with my problems, and the special-ed kids in the program all hate me and bully me as much as the preppy gang. And as usual, Lindsey stole my money at lunch, and stole my lunch and threw it in the garbage, and everyone stares at me and laugh everytime I pass by. How do I cope with bullies? I'm afraid she's going to hurt me more bad than she ever did. UUGGHHHH!!!! I HATE HIGH SCHOOL SOOOO MUCH =( C'mon guys, pleeeassee! You all need to take this seriously! I'm going through alot in school right now, and I'm only a freshmen, and this girl is about a few inches taller than me, and she is bullying me! If none of you can help me on this one, I think I'll either drop out once I turn 16 or commit suicide, because seriously, I CANNOT take this abuse anymore! So decide what's more important to you guys... Asked By: KS - 12/23/2008

STORM INTO THE PRINCIPLES OFFICE AND DEMAND, DEMAND THAT SOMETHING BE DONE. And if nothing happens, GO EVEN HIGHER! SO TO THE DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT! AND CONTACT THE POLICE THIS IS ABUSE. If it continues, write to the Governor. Get media attention too. If you get the Media to write an article on how bad they are treating you, the school will be VERY embarrased, and will do everything in their power to bring their reputation back up, including suspensions and expulsions, trust me on that one. Edit: To add, I suffer from Asperger's and Dyspraxia, so I'm no stranger to this. But, the best courses of action are Court: Assult charges and restraining orders on ALL of the bullies. Media: Get an article written that will show up the school and the bullies. Then the whole public will hate them and make them feel just like you do now. The school will respond to this by expelling everyone who has caused you trouble, because they are now in the shit. They are ignoring basic human rights. The police will have a bit in this aswell, as the principle is LETTING this happen. It's HIS/HER JOB to STOP it. He/she may get charged. Answered By: Height question guru! - 12/23/2008

I'm sorry to hear about your situation. When I was younger, there was a person that bullied me, and I was in much the same situation. Believe it or not, your teachers do care about you, and don't want to see you hurt and miserable. If there is a teacher in the school you trust, even if you think they don't like you very much, talk to them about your situation. Chances are they will empathize with you and draw this to the attention of the principal, who will listen to his teachers, most likely. I hope you have brought the drawing to the attention of the principal or the police, because it seems very serious. I hope your situation improves, and I wish you a very merry christmas.

I know what your going through, but i found out something really bad about the other guy and used it against him. You need to find a weak spot, and when you do, even if ure a really nice person, TURN IT ON THEM. Dont think they're better than you wen they leave school they'll have nothing, and you'll have everything. AND DONT KILL ureself. I tried it once but it didnt work and if they found out it would just make it worse. Answered By: robbiew - 12/23/2008

That's awful!This has got to be the worst case of bullying I have ever seen. Obviously this school is not so great if all the teachers do is sit on their asses and let you get tormented.High school should be something people should look back at with pride not fear.I feel sorry that you are going through all this.Now I know you may be afraid but you have no other choice but to do this,you have to stand up for yourself.It's the only way your ever going to make it out of that High School in one piece.You have to show that wretched Lindsey and her posse not to mess with you. In fact,your shyness is probably the reason why you're such a target for bullies.Bullies tend to go for the weaker people because they are weak themselves.So you have to go out there and prove them wrong.I suggest you take out their ring leader Lindsey first.If the posse sees that their leader isn't as strong as she is,then they will most likely back down.As for Lindsey's man,just kick him in nuts and he should be done with.Show them all just how sick you are of their bullying and if you get in trouble say it was all for self-defense,or if you get expelled then that's also a good thing because then you'll never have to see them anymore.Hope this helps,oh and by the way,your not a Lonely Loser,you have me and the rest of the Yahoo community to help you out.

I have Asberger's too. I would go with what Andre the Giant Gonzalez says. I was bullied all the time.It was nothing like your case. Although,a group of btchs like the Lindsay gang did try to fight me after school in front of a grocery store. I wish we could be friends. Just take it to the superintendent. Get the media. The bimbos will wish they never messed with you if you take Andre's advice. I completely understand you. Please don't k********f. Please don't k*******f. Please don't k********f. Your school is just giving itself a shtty reputation by allowing that.

Didn't you ask this yesterday? Just ignore it. Those bullies feed off of your reactions to these things. Or you could just prove that you are better then them. Sorry to say but there is nothing you can do about it. Answered By: animefan54 - 12/23/2008

Wow! You are really having a tough time huh! One of the worst things in this world, to me, is a bully. I am a mother in my 40's and have had these problems at times with my own kids. It really hurts and I can see that you are seriously hurting as well. Have you tried talking to your parents? The school councilor? a close neighbor? I think that you really need help from an adult on this one. You did the right thing to open up like you did and say what is wrong. Continue by talking to someone close by that can really help you get through this. I can't do much more for you but I will certainly remember you in my prayers. You are young and believe it or not, you will get through this hard time and have a bright future. Keep your chin up ok. Answered By: Karen E - 12/23/2008

WOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!! Hmm, all I can tell you is how I would deal with the situation. Sorry that's it...I can't give proper advice because I'm pretty psycho...which is why they would be scare of me...because I'm psycho. - First I would stop worrying about the other kids...humans. Humans are a ridicule to life, we're not as great you think. Stop getting involved with them. - I wouldn't bring lunch money or lunch, wait until you get home, it shouldn't be too hard!! - After class, lunch, anywhere you'll usually waste time, don't go there. If you want to avoid them, then avoid them. Go to the library for study halls, and lunch, readings fun, and it'll help you not complain like your two because you'll learn BIG WORDS!! - How many people bully you? I know parts of the body I can twist and knob to the point where the person will be screaming for help. Learn to fight, karate won't do it, humans don't know proper patience, and you don't have time. Go to a self defense class, they have courses at university's, any age can go. You can learn self defense quickly. Plus research online how to screw with the human body physically. Hopefully your not a woolly mammoth, it'll be hard stopping them with a clog of fat hugging you. Either way, you need to train. Meditate, increase your vision sense. When you see the punch being thrown at you watch it carefully, dodging it won't be hard. Or grab a finger and break it, fingers are extremely easy to break. Here's my last piece of advice, and this is what makes me psychotic. WHEN YOUR NOT IN SCHOOL, I REPEAT NOT IN SCHOOL STALK THEM!!!! Find our places that are more alone where they are. Torture them, threaten them. They won't kill you at school, they might hurt you, but after that DESTROY THEM OUT OF SCHOOL!!!!! I don't care how you torture, make it horribly painful. Their are pills that'll shut down human organs, get interested, though you'll need to be smart not to get caught... Answered By: chroniac - 12/23/2008

Anyone agree that that is pure child abuse? I hope that parents of grade schoolers and all children know that nail biting is not going to kill a kid. I would find out what is making my child want to bite in the first place. Tobasco can make a little tongue swell up and children can die from that. What do you think? I think that putting stuff on their fingers is only going to make the problem worse. If it really is a problem. It is actually a comfort habit. Why are children having to comfort themselves? Isn't that a parent's job? Find out why first. That is where I would focus my attention. Do you agree or not? Yes, it is considered abusive. Ask a CPS worker.

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now. 1 answer - Asked By: Alex Prieto - 10/14/2012

	What can people do with these types of courses? I'll be taking Programming HTML in 10th grade (I'm in 9th right now). My school offers Java, C++, Programming HTML, Graphic Communications, Robotics, CAD, and Game Design. I am taking courses not only because I want to fulfill credits, but to also test out some things and see what I like. I'm asking this in Careers because I was wondering what careers involve any of these and if they are good jobs. My cousin got me a little interested in computers because she has her Ph.D from University of Maryland, went to UMBC, taught at Carnegie Mellon, worked at IBM, and currently has a job at Microsoft (she works with human- computer interaction) I was curious, what are some good careers in Computer Science? Are these courses good ones to take to see if I like them? How much can you make in Computer Science careers? None of my decisions for the future are concrete and I do not only look at the money in anything so please, no assumptions unless you know me. I just want to have an idea of what to do and I have plenty of time. I love to help people which is why I am looking into medical careers as well. I'll be taking an AIDS research course in a few years and I'm taking a Child Development course in case I really do wish to be a Psychologist some day (Some other careers I have thought about are Hematologist, Dermatologist, Neurosurgeon, attorney, etc. I really would love to cure my parents who have Sickle Cell and Fibromayalgia but I know how Pharmaceutical Companies are.Treatment makes more than cure) t********s to anyone who can answer and help me out (Point gaming is pretty pointless. Two points vs ten? Which is more?) Thank you! I get good grades. Honor roll, honor student, I study hard and I keep to myself a lot so I have a lot of time to study. I'm cyber schooled because of how awful my old school was (kids bullied me. To the point where I could have died but teachers didn't care because my parents aren't friends with the teachers from high school. So, I just had to suffer. They lied to my parents and eventually, we just couldn't take it anymore. I got sick of defending myself against boys anyway. Thank God I'm into Martial Arts). I have been here for 4 going on 5 years and I love it! Peace and quiet....most of the time. I still live in a small town and the bullying just continues. So I have to be completely alone to escape it. Life will be better when I move to Canada. Also what you do is very interesting! Thank you very much! I can only take HTML this upcoming school year. Then the other courses become available throughout the years. I can't choose whether C++ comes before Java. It's not all available right away. It becomes available grade by grade. I heard people say $70,000 wasn't a good salary before and that really confused me. My cousin makes that much and she traveled to Spain, France, Atlanta and California recently. I think it is all interesting. New tech always did intrigue me and my mother. I'm just dipping a toe in first though. Just in case, when I go to college, my freshman year will be undecided to sit in on some more classes. I'll see what I like, this a lot, Thank you! Oh by the way, the C++ course is actually a C++ AND Java course! It's all in one. That's helpful :) 1 answer - Asked By: Tiana - 5/8/2013
