*Sigh*

Well, I've been going through some tough times lately. Lets just say I'm not the most popular person at school. I mean, i don't want to be popular, but people have been treating me pretty bad lately.

Everyone sees me as some geek/freak. They don't have any respect for me at all, and will even began to bad talk about me right in front of my face. People trip me in the hallways on purpose, the push me into the walls, and just say the rudest and meanest things ever without warning. I'll just be getting ready for my next class, when some jerk comes and just starts to list off my faults and why he dosn't like me. I didn't even do anything either. It seems like everyone is against me for some reason.

So yeah, I just have one question, is there something wrong with me? Please answer.

Well..If your a dude you need to stick up for yourself or else this will never stop. If your a girl well..I can't help you there but I knew some tough girls at school who would never allow themselves to be picked on. But I think the most rational thing to do is go to your school counselor and discuss your problem, but you also run the risk of getting picked on even more as a tattletale. But that depends how bad your public school is since in some schools nerds getting picked on is generally accepted by teachers, counselors and principals anyway. Isn't the American Education system wonderful?

I don't know exactly what's the best way for you, but from my own experience; I think it's best to stick up for yourself. If they bark, you bark back. They'll just come back for more if you keep quiet and twidle your thumbs. You have to show confidence, that you appreciate yourself and don't care what others think about you.

Sorry, my advice is pretty weak and shallow, but that's what worked for me.
And I don't believe there's something wrong with you. You just lack confidence, because others around you have stripped you out of it. Well, that's what I think. I'm not really there to see and judge.

Well, I'm a girl, and I actually go to a private christain school. It changes some things, ut it doesn't change a lot. There are still jerks and stuff, but thatnks for the advice guys. I appreciate it.

A bit late in coming, but my advice to you would be to act like all of the stuff people say and do to you doesn't bother you. And this sounds like dumb advice because of course it's going to bother you when people push you around and insult you for no reason, but doing those things is how those people get their jollies. They're like sharks in that way; once they see a weakness, they'll be all over it.

But if you act as though all those insults aren't worth your time, that they bore you, that you have better things to do than sit there and let themselves feel all big and bad by grinding you down, eventually they'll grow tired of you, because you won't be such an easy target any more.

And if they're calling you a geek or a freak, take it as a complement! They're lashing out at you because you're different than them, and judging by your description of their actions, that's a good thing! I mean, why be popular when you can be yourself?

Because, in the end, what those people do and say doesn't really matter. They aren't your friends, your family, so what the hell do they know about you anyway? What makes them soooo much better than you? Nothing, that's what.

And the next time anyone pulls that kind of crap on you (and pardon my language), fuck 'em. They aren't worth the grief they put you through.

Well Ventor if its GUYS that are harrassing you, then if I were you I would report them and try to get them expelled. IMO there is something wrong with THEM for being classless enough to pick on a girl of all things. But if its your fellow females doing all the harrassing, then I think sticking up for yourself is the best thing to do.

Well, it's both guys and girls that do the harassing. I tend to ignore them, but sometimes they just go way to far.

All you really can do is let people talk. People are gonna talk about you all your life. As long as they don't put they hands on you, then you don't have to worry about it. And if it gets out of hand, just stand up for yourself. Don't let them know you're scared (even if you are). Because if you do, that's giving them license to pick on you the rest of the time you're in school.

I know you're not looking for pity, but I do think that you're asking a question that really has no intelligent or insightful answer. I'm not going to be rude in my opinion, but I'm going to be blunt:

The only thing that is wrong with you is that you care so much about what other people (people that you won't even remember in a couple years) think about you. Unfortunately, most kids have that issue, and it usually stems from poor self esteem or lack of self confidence.

If either of those two are a problem for you, then work on them. But really, people are picking on you because, obviously, you care. They have insecurities, and you're an easy target, so they're going to mess with you to make themselves feel tougher/better/prettier/smarter/etc.etc.etc.

Hold your head high, be confident, walk with authority. Find reasons to like and love yourself, and you'll find that what those people do really won't bother you at all. Grow a little ego and be proud of yourself- it's not the same as being conceited. Once you're okay with yourself, people will stop messing with you. That's how humans work.

If the physical stuff doesn't stop, threaten to sue the everliving crap out of them. Legally, you can. Right now, they could be sued for harassment, assault, threats, etc. If you're not going to bust somebody in the nose, bust 'em in the wallet.

Don't come up with any "but they do this" or "but I can't" crap. Just do it.
