Help I'm being bullied by 8th graders :(

@stellie
Comebacks are not the way to go.
Ignore them.
Tell a teacher or parent.
Get those bullies in the trouble they deserve.

Eighth graders are so immature.

@stellie

It's not going to turn out well
I have a brother with Aspergers, and he made comebacks like that. Not a good idea.

@stellie tell the teacher or something. even if your friends say its "not cool", you should do it. unless you want it to keep occuring.

rosey77 • 6 October 2011 at 6:27 PM

@stellie I say absolutely tell an adult. I know a boy who was bullying another boy a ton, and I told on him and the bully got suspended. I really felt bad for that boy. Definetly tell an adult you trust like a parent or teacher.

ladybugheart • 6 October 2011 at 6:36 PM

I highly suggest you don't insult them or use violence. All they want is a reaction, and you'll only be giving them that.

Ignore them, or try killing them with kindness. ;] When they insult you, tell them how much you love their shoes. Smile when you see them, but don't make it seem sarcastic.

But if they continue, you have to tell a staff member or other trusted adult until they stop.

@stellie Actually it wouldn't be good to beat them up because then when you tell the principal they will say that you beat them up ☹️

I'm so mean and immature when it comes to comebacks xD I can really burn people on some when they annoy me, but some are just funny, and a lot are just plain immature xD I save the ones that burn for when I really need them^^(I'm not a meani mean type person, or a cliquey type girl😋) Ignoring just bites, because bullies have only one virtue, patience. and nobody likes apatient bully...

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 7:49 PM

@stellie actually, comebacks and cussing at them won't help. It might fend them off for the moment, but it's really just adding fuel to the fire. It's sending signals of aggression and it lets them know you're still in the fight. Try to defuse the situation. The next time you're around them, don't act disgusted or angry, just casually ask them what's up, and make small talk. If that doesn't work, ignore them and stick with your friends. They're less likely to bully you if you're in a group, remember, strength in numbers! 😊

But TWO EIGHTH GRADERS AGAINST A SIXTH GRADER? I'm not calling you weak but it's just unfair. I suggest that if they start to hurt you that you consult a teacher or the principal to stop it before it gets out of control.

(I've been harassed at school before. I know where you're coming from 😉)

@stellie
People who bully other people are just... gross. And completely immature. They are insecure and hormonal and you are WAY better than them. Just remember to be the better person in the situation by being more mature. You can ignore them, but try not to backsass them, as they would usually find a way to make fun of you for doing that. I would suggest telling a teacher. If anyone thinks your "uncool" or a "baby" for doing that, they obviously don't deserve to be your friend. There is nothing "stupid" about telling an adult, mind you, that is actually the best option.

Bullies are just people with big heads and small brains. 😉

By the way, people used to bully me way back in my 6th grade years. They were subtle about it though, saying things like, "Wow, Brianna, you are SO PRETTY" and then snicker because they knew I was self conscious. They'd make fun of me behind my back for my clothes, really long hair, big nose, whatever. I ignored them, laughed with them, smiled at them, complimented them, etc. Eventually, as in 8th grade, we became relatively good friends. And then we parted ways for high school, and it ended. One of them actually goes to my college, and she told me recently that she was sorry for what she used to say to me when we were young. It's just something that they'll outgrow, I guess. Love them for hating on you, they'll cut it out when they realise how dumb they're being.

@ladybugheart

It starting to get to the piont, that there sexually assalting me, they're telling me things like saying that I was suppose to be an abortion D: And saying that I should "go do dirty things" with another girl
I really want to rip on them, I should let my "Puerto-Rican Criminal act" kick in, I mean I can insult but I get smacked in the mouth ): I am getting confused

And I'm thinking about the next time they say sexual things about me I have a right to be physical, My mother has trained me to fight (who used to be in the italian Mafia) I think I'm ready..... I'm just tired of always being called the weakling, the skeleton and "Anarexia Ava" I'm ready to fight...... I mean I've fought a 13 year old boy, I think I can try do teach those girls a lesson, At least my father will be proud

skylark • 6 October 2011 at 9:27 PM

@stellie - OMG. That's just so wrong


I have not a clue of what you guys go through. Seriously. I'm homeschooled o3o

zafeyry • 6 October 2011 at 9:49 PM

Usually I would tell you to punch them, but these new fangled rules of America don't let you do that.

Just avoid those beaches because the sand burns.

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 10:34 PM

@stellie please don't get violent with them, that could get you suspended from school or worse ☹️ I know they hurt your feelings badly but you have to know that this battle isn't in your favor and you could get hurt (badly)! Please don't take this the wrong way, I'm just trying to help ☹️

nkiay • 6 October 2011 at 10:45 PM

@stellie

Kids are mean suck it up. >_< You're being ridiculous, because they call you gay your going to get physical? Really? They are making fun of you because you react so much to it. Your asking for it, it seems like you want to fight. Your going to fix your problem with violence. Sounds great.

Tell me how that fight goes by the way.

ayuzawa • 6 October 2011 at 10:47 PM

@stellie

Ignore them. Pretend they don't exist. Don't try to comback at them, cos otherwise it will... not help. No offence. If you know a teacher well, then tell him/her- Yelling at them doesn't help- I've experienced it first hand, though it was in 1 st grade ☹️ - If you ignore them, you won't be worth their time cos most bullies bully for the sake of getting a reaction ☹️

THEY
ARE
MEANIES

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 10:47 PM

@nkiay *elbow elbow* be nice! 😋

nkiay • 6 October 2011 at 10:50 PM

@randomkitty17

I get tired of little kids whining and not taking heed to reason.

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 10:52 PM

@nkiay hey, bullying can really hurt and she's just confused ☹️

crooton1 • 6 October 2011 at 10:54 PM

@Randomkitty17

I agree with @Nkiay. :/

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 10:55 PM

@crooton1 I'm not saying I disagree with him, it's just that he could have said it a bit nicer.

crooton1 • 6 October 2011 at 10:56 PM

@Randomkitty17

She's not listening and she's saying she's going to beat up two girls that are older than her.

smartie2742 • 6 October 2011 at 10:57 PM

Do NOT get physical no matter what! Long story short, I was bullied by this girl and one day she started punching me cuz of some comeback I made and I didn't fight back but the teacher caught her and had to call campus police or whatever. Anyway, she got suspended and I was told that I would've been suspended too if I had fought back. So fighting back will only get you in trouble no matter what situation you are in. Plus one 6th grade girl up against two 8th graders? Good luck winning that fight! It will also cause school-wide drama which you will be happier without (especially if you do lose the fight.)

Best bet is to tell an adult- like everyone else said. Or just try avoiding them as much as possible.

nkiay • 6 October 2011 at 10:58 PM

@randomkitty17

I know, but I never whined about it. DX I don't mean to be mean, only realistic. 😉 Just everyone tells her not to fight and she keeps saying I'm going to fight.

Whats the point of asking for advice if you're not going to take any?


I just need to ignore these kinds of boards, they just make me frustrated. :/

Deleted • 6 October 2011 at 10:59 PM

@katniss careful now, you were an 8th grader once too as am I right now. Act strong and mighty, be kind. Use words instead of violence to lead you. We here are your helpers. I was bullied. There are many out there who do things that I'm not going to even write, please tell someone such as the principle. Saying something mean isn't going to make it right. @stellie da Caver buddies are on your side

randomkitty17 • 6 October 2011 at 10:59 PM

@crooton1 I understand that and I'd like to stop her, but I'm just saying that @nkiay said it in a harsh tone .... I don't think I'll say anything else. It's not worth getting into a fight over 😊

@nkiay *pat pat* yeah, I think I'll leave too. I don't want to start a fight over this...

trish • 6 October 2011 at 10:59 PM

@stellie If you won't tell anyone, it's okay for NOW.
If they talk mean things to you, raise your eyebrow and look strangely at them, and say "What's your problem? Stop or I'm telling the principal." And maybe, if they don't believe you, then pretend to walk in the office's direction. 😋

crooton1 • 6 October 2011 at 11:01 PM

@Katniss

You were an eighth grade student once. 😉 XD

candy_girl_1298 • 6 October 2011 at 11:07 PM

@trish you dont even have to say "im going to tell the principle.". if you are confident enough they will leave you alone.

ladybugheart • 7 October 2011 at 12:17 AM

Whatever you do, don't use violence. Act confident, and avoid giving them the reaction they want. You need to tell the principal at some point.

mightyeglantine • 7 October 2011 at 12:24 AM

@stellie
Dont say anything just ignore them....My mother taught me never to fight unless someone touches me first even if they slap me....So do what I do look away keep your head high walk tall and stay confident and dont show any reaction to what they say...Im in 7th grade and people dont mess with me because they either think im too weird to talk too or they know what will happen.....
