Constant insults

kick them.

seriously, why the hell don't you fight back? I wouldn't just stand and take insults.

I'll start with saying i'm quite patient with people who insult me, and I dont really react/respond in an aggressive way. I usually just smile or ignore it. Recently I've noticed since I never say anything to people who insult me about EVERYONE has started doing it now, and I just sit there and endure it. It's been going on for about 4 months now and I just cant stand it anymore. For example. Someone says a joke, I laugh, The person says 'What are you laughing for'. It's just so annoying. What would be a wise thing to do to stop this?

You attend a 'comprehensive' school; am I right?

I could easily do that but I dont want to get into trouble/get suspended or whatnot. If nothing like that would happen if I did I would have done it as that person would have served as an example for the others.

Yes Does that really matter though?

Then the scenario you cite is one with which I identify: your peers will inevitably comprise of bigoted, belligerent cretins whose esteem should be effectively tantamount to insult as regards any sane, thinking person with prospective net worth approximating more than that of a MacDonald's paycheque.

My advice? Keep your head down, and sit out the persecution 'til uni.

This used to happen to me. Being treated like this is awful. Unfortunately people who respond in this way are usually walked over. I'd suggest that you make responses to anyone who offends you, even if it is just a 'Oh, great. Thankyou very much ' kind of thing. You must defend yourself. I'm not suggesting that you 'kick their heads in' and I'm not promoting physical violence, but the last thing that you should do is just sit there and blush. If you defend yourself and show some strength then people will start to treat you with some respect. Good luck.

Btw, the people who you associate with appear to be bitter, nasty people. Maybe you should try and get some new friends also?

But you're making an assumption here that 'the idiots' would not be at grammar school standard. There are bullies and nasty people at all academic levels.

I can identify with that also... which is why they should bring back the grammar school system, who cares if the idiots self esteem will suffer if they get put in a secondary modern, they deserve it
