Bullying at School
I’m currently dealing with bullying at school. Here’s a brief overview of what happened: When I moved to the U.S. and made some new friends, things started out well. But soon, one friend began to show aggression towards me, which eventually escalated to two and then three others joining in. They began spreading rumors about me, claiming that I was a bad person—even though I kept to myself, repaired their laptops, and stayed out of trouble.
Now, they throw my belongings around and call me all sorts of names. Today, the third friend approached me, and when I asked him to back off, it resulted in me getting pushed and physically assaulted. Can you believe it? I was beaten for simply asking someone to give me space.
I’m reaching out for advice on how to handle this situation and put a stop to their behavior. Any suggestions or stories of similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.
I’m really sorry to hear that you’re experiencing bullying at school. It’s a tough situation, and no one deserves to be treated that way. It’s important to know that you’re not alone, and there are ways to handle it.
First, I suggest you talk to a trusted adult like a teacher, a school counselor, or a parent. They can help you navigate this situation and find a way to stop the bullying. It’s crucial to have support from someone who can intervene.
Instead of seeking revenge or trying to harshly confront them (which can sometimes escalate the situation), focus on protecting yourself. Here are a few things you can do:
Remember, you have the right to feel safe and respected at school. Seeking help is not a sign of weakness; it can be a strong step towards making things better.
