User blog comment:NoNo Rox/Verbal Bullying!/@comment-2208586-20101101190234

I'm in 8. grade too. Two years ago, I had the exactly same problem -- today, these bullies count as some of my best friends. However, first of all, please don't mind about spelling/grammar. Then: Telling an adult is often not th e right thing. Why? Because - especially in my case - most of them don't care about it. Try it. I guess you'll hear things like "Don't put me in your childish fights.", "As long as he/she doesn't do it in front of me, I don't care"(and even if such a person does it in front of the teacher, as long as he/she doesn't use bad language, the teacher doesn't care - even laughs) and some teacher enjoy bullying by themselves without bad language, and feel "proud" if the whole class laughs about the bullied person. --> Or don't even do what they say. An example: Last month, the teacher made a "sit-plan" (idk how to spell it in english) so every girl has to sit next to a guy-of course not the guy she wants to sit next to, a random dude. However, the main reason was a single boy. What really unfair is, was that the teacher said that the last reason which "cut the rope" was him. So, after the bell rang, two really angry girls went to him and what did they do? they pulled his hair -- in front of the teacher. He cried "for help" and it really hurt, but what did the teacher do? Well, she laughed evil like crazy. after the girls stopped pulling his hair, she left the class without saying a word. So, you see, telling a teacher often goes to nowhere, no, after you told the teacher and the bulliers find out and the teacher doesnt do anything, they will be even more annoying. ...There is really nothing I can tell you about bullying.. Maybe you should wait until they stop. Or often, as I did, reply. It doesn't have to be smart. If they are on such a low level that they don't understand clever things, just tell them a way they understand. And, as I did too, take a friend for help. Maybe a friend who is popular for them. That really helps and they shut up. However, this childish things will end at least in two, three, if it goes high four years for sure, if not before.
