Hey
I'm sorry you're getting bullied.
First of all, let me just say that I was bullied for five years ago throughout highschool and those five years were the worst five years of my life. But let me tell you something- don't hold it in. Look, it is difficult to tell someone. I know because I experienced that. I'm really outgoing now, moving on from highschool. That bullying experience had such a bad impact on me that i was too scared to even look up in class. And in top of having my "friends" ditch me and join in on bullying me, I had some people tell me that it was my fault and people only get bullied for a reason. Yh, that shattered me but one thing I have to tell you from that experience is that nobody is going to do something unless you take steps for that to happen. It will get better, but for it to get better, you must tell someone. Get your teacher to move you as sometimes, they are clueless. I was bullied especially in my geography class I remember , with one girl getting violent to me and the rest of the class cheering her on and yelling at me for being scared. And my teacher didn't notice. Obviously, not all cases would be like that or to that extent but one thing you must do is tell your teacher so it doesn't escalate any further. When I finally had enough courage it tell my teacher, she moved me instantly next to another quiet girl and we ended up becoming friends. That was my first friend in such a long time. If a teacher doesn't move you or do something to help you once you've told them, then you must take further action by going to head of year or department or whatever. But one thing , you must realise is that your teacher will not lose any respect for you if you tell them. They'll gain more respect if anything because you went and told them. That is so important. If you tell them, they'll either move you or do something or they might watch out for if anyone says something again to you. That way, the kids can't call you a "snitch" because it was the teacher who disciplined them in class. I used to be so scared of being called a "snitch" that I kept it in for so long. When I finally told, it was difficult saying to a teacher after class one day "can I talk to you? Could you move me because so and so don't let me do my work. They write mean things in my books, laugh at me, take my homework and send it as theirs, rip my homework, hit me, etc etc" hrse were stuff that actually happened to me by the way. And my teacher asked me why I didn't tell what earlier and felt bad for not noticing! So next lesson she made a new seating plan and out me next to someone better. That really helped me. If you are too scared to tell a teacher, you'll keep facing it and if you face it alone, it will hurt. The longer you keep it like this, the more it will hurt. Trust me, I've been bullied for five years and I wish I had the guts to tell my teacher earlier. Don't let this continue. Please tell someone. I know you don't want to say "I'm being bullied by xyz so please move me" even though that is shorter and easiest to say. But If you don't say this, then you are either rewording it to say something that means the exact same thing! Look itis difficult but why do you thinkyour teacher is going to loserespect for you? Your teacher is a grown adult who is professional and also wants what's best for you. If you don't let them know that you are being bullied, they might just think you are doing fine. You must let them know. What opinion is your teacher going to change of you? They're not going to think that you are weak or anything. They are going to think they they need to do something and act upon this because they cannot tolerate bullying in their class as it is bad. They won't change he any opinion of you. They won't think anything of that sort. Don't assume that the teacher thinks the same way as any bully might do. They won't change any opinions of you. You must tell them straight up that you are being bullied by so and so. Could they do something about it. And they have to do something to help you. They won't value you any less or nor will they think of you differently. Trust me, you must tell the teacher. It is hard and I wish I told someone. I would be in such a different position now, if I did. Do something to sort out the problem because If you don't, it will escalate and continue. Mine continued for five whole years. Don't ever tolerate bullying or vile treatment as such.
