Bullies want to upset you. If you ignore them, they don’t get what they want.
Bullies don’t want others to know what they’re up to. If you attract the attention of someone nearby, the bully will back off. Yell something like “No, you are not going to beat me up. Leave me alone.”
Don’t look upset. Bullies feel powerful when they upset you. If you look uncaring, the bully has lost that “power.”
Agree with the bully. Bullies count on you to argue with them. If you just agree, there’s nothing more for the bully to say. Say something like "I need time to get beautiful; what is your problem?"
Give the bully some facts. I caught a defective gene in my family. Sometimes people bully because they don’t understand why someone is different. If you give the bully some facts, you do two things: you show that you’re not upset and you might take away the bully’s reason for picking on you. "Eating strawberries changes a person's body odor and makes it more pleasant, but it takes time."
People who bully want someone who responds in a way that allows them to feel powerful. A child without power cannot bully. Power can be defined as either physical strength, social status, or intimidating behavior.

Sometimes kids are just plain mean for no reason at all. Or because they want to look "cool" in front of others. You most likely don't smell or anything. I suggest that you talk to your school counselor immediately if you are considering killing yourself. Good luck!

Get hold of that petition and show it to your headmaster so they can punish the bullies. Also chin up. School children are nasty, once you get to college or university people are much nicer.

Go to your guidance councilor at school and talk to him/her about what's going on. Please don't do anything to hurt yourself!

well you just named all the reasons people don't like you in your question. so change those things or a grow a self confidence.

I'm so sorry sweety :( These kids get their self esteem by making themselves feel better than someone else and at your expense. I used to be an outcast, too, when I was your age. Don't let it stop you from being the best person you can be.You are not alone. If you ever need someone to talk to you can email me.

Sorry you're having a tough time... I went through some of the same kind of stuff when I was your age.

Best thing to do is, ignore the bullies as best you can and start keeping a diary of all bullying events that occur every day. Include names, times and places as well as witnesses.

Sooner or later someone will step over the line and do something really mean. When this happens, take your diary to the headmaster and say you can't take this anymore.

With a long list of bullying events, something will have to be done. Without documentation, they will just concentrate on one event and say "this isn't that bad"... With documentation, they will have to look at the entire problem and do something about it.

Good luck and GodSpeed... This won't last forever! I'm happy and in love now, and my tough times are all behind me. They will be for you too someday.

Man, you are around some real sweet kids, aren't ya? Honestly, there's not much that anyone is going to be able to type here that will make you feel great anytime soon.

Since you are on a computer, you may want to read up on "human developmental stages" or "stages of development" by Erik Erikson. Unfortunately, as an adolescent, at this stage of life, the most important opinions are those of your peers. Now, it's fair for you to ask yourself, are these mean kids really that smart? Have they lived enough to really know anything? I mean, whatever you can do so that you view their power and knowledge accurately, the less they will influence how you feel about yourself.

It's understandable that you are shy. There are factors that are quite legitimate preventing you from reaching out and making friends. But that's what you need to do at this time in life. Find good people to surround yourself with. People who are not superficial (focused on the outer things like money, clothing, the perfect body, etc.), but are moral enough to know how to treat other people. Get past this stage of life, and things can get better for you.

Others may suggest things like being more assertive, reporting bullies, and so on. If you think that would make you feel better, you should consider it. Try to anticipate whether this will cause the bullies to become meaner, or retalliate, before taking such steps.

people used to treat me pretty bad like this to...
its not your fault, it's theirs. they won't do that kind of stuff when they get older.
at least i hope not.
but listen to this, i was a good looking person, and they still did that, why? i never figured it out. so now that i grew up, became beautiful, i have a whole life ahead of me. don't kill yourself. when you get out of school, when are you ever going to see these people again? never. you'll be independent and these situations placed will make you stronger then ever, i promise.(:

I'm really sorry for what you're going through, these kids sound really mean. They are at that really ignorant age and are obviously insecure themselves to bully you, you have to remember they do it to make them feel better about themselves. You are none of those things they say, you sound like a beautiful and lovely person. Try to ignore them as much as they can and show them they don't affect you. I know that's hard though cos bullies do upset you, I know too well. But remain yourself and don't change for them. the people who are worth it will want to be your friends in life. Tell a teacher if this goes on cos it seems to be affecting you and probably you're school work too. All the best. :) x

Hey gurl, omg that sounds so bad. I dont know what ur going through cos ive never been bullied so my advice might not be the best ever. First I was ugly when i was 11/12, and now im 16 and people say im hot, not bragging but for you to trust me your looks will change as you get older!!! A lot of celebs were "ugly ducklings" and they turn out to be stunning when theyre older, much more gorgueus than the average looking kids who pick on you. I was also very shy at your age but now im really confident, so you could change too. Why dont you move schools? You could ask your mum maybe go to a catholic/private/grammar school or something where its more smaller and selected? Theres alot less bullying there and you could start afresh. They all sound like pathetic ***** anyway youre worth more than them. If the world had to choose between keeping a load of bullys or a nice girl who is *supposedly* ugly, theyd choose to keep you. Just keep strong gurl nd maybe one day when youre older and this is all over and you got thru it and are a stronger person, you might meet someone whos being bullied and you can help them and tell them everythign turns out alright. I reallyyy hope everything gets better soon for you :) xx
