If the teachers are of no help, speak to your parents. Maybe they can convince the teachers/prinicipal of a problem. Or maybe they can talk with the bully's family.

But the honest fact is, from what I've seen in personal experience this will not work. As a rule if the teachers did nothing before they will do nothing later. And the bully's parents probably don't want to believe their kid is a bully. So even if your parents were to speak to them I doubt it would help.

Which leaves you with only two other options. The first (and best) choice is to get over yourself and stand up to him. Most likely this will get him to stop. My guess would be the major reason you haven't done so already though is that you fear he'll hurt you. I won't lie, it is a possibility. But he is hurting you already, isn't he? If you stand up to him, there is a good chance he'll back off. If he doesn't, you get a bigger hurt for a quick moment; but then the teachers will be forced to suspend him. A fight requires them by law to suspend the kid. And when he comes back, to avoid further punishment from both his parents and teachers, he should leave you alone then.

Your second option is to find a bigger person than he is. Convince that second bigger person to protect you. The major problem with this plan is that it usually requires you to give something up; something like money or part of lunch or something. The good thing is that the bully will stop bullying you because he now would have the same fear you currently have. And there are plenty of big guys who are ready to make a quick buck (or a quick meal) off of this.

I was bullied, and I stood up to my bully. He decided to fight rather than back off, but we both found out I was actually pretty good at fighting. Afterwards some of the other kids decided they wanted my protection, and so I became one of the big guys who could make a quick buck. Both can work, but you get to keep your lunch far more often if you stand up to him yourself.

Pretend like you aren't at all bothered by what he's doing and ignore him, eventually he will get bored with bullying you.

alot of people will tell you to ignore it but that doesnt work it doesnt make them stop and it just hurts you
all you really can do is try to laugh with him about it
it will really screw him up lol make fun of yourself with im it might not be fun but ive found its effective in the end

Unless they're physically harming you, I would just ignore it. You can be nice if you want - have you heard of the saying "kill them with kindness"? It might throw them off course or prove to them that you're a cool kid so there's no need to tease you. It will pass eventually, don't worry about it. Kids can be so immature, but once you get older, more people will start showing you the respect you deserve. A lot of children get picked on at school, but really don't pay attention to it. Find some nice kids in school that you get along with/have fun with and you should be set. If they physically harm you in any way, you need to tell the school administration or your parents, because that's serious. Good luck :)


I like Lexi M's answer too!

Okay, I was made fun of when I was younger, and yeah. I know, ignoring does NOT work, and neither does trying to laugh about it. It's sad that the teachers aren't of more help to you, I would try talking to the school counselor, just go to the office and ask if you can talk to him/her and if not, ask if you can schedule an appointment. You could also try telling your parents and your parents can call your teachers, that might make more of an impact. Your parents can also call the principal, or the school counselor. Your parents can even go with you to the school counselor if you want. I hope that helps! Stick it through, it'll get better I promise! Once you get to like 18, everyone's pretty much grown up and more mature by then and people don't do that kinda thing anymore. I don't really know exactly how old you are, but it's a rough patch that everyone's gotta get through, but it will get better. Good luck!

I had a bully in middle school. He picked on me everyday. It was awful. Always hitting me, kicking me, tripping me.....then one day I snapped. He smacked me in the back of the head & I turned around & slapped him right in the face. Did he hit me back? Of course, but the teacher stepped in & we were both sent to the principal. He never picked on me again. Sometimes it is hard to stand up to your bully. But once I stood up to him, he left me alone & went elsewhere.

i had the same problem. I had two asses in my one class i tried ignoring them but idiots like that are easily amused so it doesnt work. One day one of them sneezed on me so i ripped the keyboard out of the computer and broke his stupid nose with it. They stopped bothering me

Depending on the person... normally, I'd poke him in the stomach
It's enough to keep the person away for a while but not enough to get you into any sort of trouble if a teacher sees you

[edit]
As weird as this may seem, I always seem to end up befriending the "bullies"

now wht u really got to do is find lk 2 guys who are bigger then him then pay em lk 5 bucks each and have them say
" u mess with my friend ima have to kick ya a**"
and if tht dosent work pay them 10 bucks each and actually have them kick his a**

Blessed & Loving it gave the best answer. There was a girl that used to always pick on me on the bus... one day she hit me on the head with her umbrella and I snapped too. I reached back and grabbed her head and smacked it into the window. Then I got up and moved further up in the bus; she just sat there looking shocked. She never so much as looked at me again. Sometimes you really just have to show them you're NOT going to take their crap and they'll go find someone else who will. Really. If you do, just make sure you do it where there's some people who probably won't let them react too roughly. It's your choice, I probably got off really easy considering.

First and foremost you have to try to believe in yourself and be confident that whatever he's doing or saying is a reflection on him and his problems and not you. Chances are that he has issues with himself that he's learned to deal with by making others feel worse about themselves. You could use that knowledge to your advantage. You can always arm yourself with the mental upper hand, no matter how much bigger than you he may be. In the end, it's really the bully that needs help and will be more likely to have psychological and social hang-ups, and you can be a better and stronger person who realizes the value in treating others fairly and kindly.

Regardless of what the kid does...eat him up with kindess.. and i promise u that he will eventually leave you alone...

Personally, I always confront the bully.

One time I said, "You really get your jollies from that?"

Another time I just said, "Why did you say that?"

Then I listen to what they have to say. Anyway, it cured the problem.

Good luck to you!

ignore him, just forget about it, and remember this, it's his problem because he is picking on you, not yours, so just don't ever bother think about it or care or be angry because of it, it's not worth it.
