I get beaten up a lot.?

Question

I get beaten up by kids at school all of the time. Unfortunately, the teachers are wimps and do not punish the offenders. Usually they just punish both of us, claiming that they don't know who started it. I am getting chewed out by the principal who is asking me why do I get into so many fights? "Gee whiz Sir, I enjoy getting my @ss kicked, I do it again." I am the new kid in town. I talk funny. I am smart then the rest of the other morons in my classes. I can't believe that this guy would be given the responsiblity of running a McDonalds, not a school with 1000 kids. Ok, maybe he is too busy with teacher's budgets and child molesters, so what's a couple of school fights. One time a teacher witnessed my getting attacked. He broke it up, but the other kid just got susspended for a day. Big F*cking deal. He should have been charged with assult. My parents have called the police. The Keystone Cops gave me the excuse that they did not witness the event, so didn't charge him.

Answer 1

At the age of 13, in the 7th grade, my daughter experienced some of the same problems. A group of 8th graders routinely harrassed and attacked her. My daughter had started a new middle school. She was gifted in math and science, and she was very pretty. Although she was friendly and outgoing, this "gang" type element obviously had personal issues.

My daughter confided in me and I went to speak to the school principal. That idiot told her he didn't believe her; "Why would they pick on you?", he said. "If it's true, I know they're at lunch right now; why don't we go down and you can point them out to me." Even I know that would have sealed her fate at that school.

Feeling that no one could or would protect her, and being threatened and attacked often, my daughter took a serated bread knife to school and placed it in her locker. She even told the girls about it to scare them off. What happened was that the girls reported her, she was arrested at school and booked for having a knife in her locker, and expelled for one year from school. From there it was all down hill for her. Her interest in school was never the same.

It's VERY important that you get your parents involved or other student advocate for your safety. You may be reluctant to do this, but you could potentially lose out not only on education, but on life. In the meantime, the bullys will continue to progress.

The school is responsible for ensuring your safety and well being while there. They MUST do this, or they can be held legally responsible for not doing so!

Answer 2

I am so sorry you are in this situation.Okay this is what I suggest. The first thing is to get solid proof as to who did what etc. I would start documenting everything.This includes the harrassment,beatings, and teachers/principal.A written journal with dates,times and names.Get a recording device to tape any of this.
In getting help from anywhere--proof.If the local police,school teachers and such do nothing you have a great case to take to court.You could also take this proof to the media in your town and expose the total disregard for a students basic safety and rights.You need to get yourself into a self defense class.This will not only help you physically but mentally as well.You might even make some friends! Best of luck.

Answer 3

As a teacher unfortunately our hands are often tied with what we can and can't do to students who either bully and pick fights, or just fight in general. The educational system has taken the majority of our powers away. Schools can get sued for just about anything now. I suggest that you take your parents with you to talk to the principal about his lack of action.
As for you, make sure you aren't carrying an attitude that is provoking others into wanting to jump you. I know that does not seem to make sense, but as an educator I see it quite often. Students will act a way that provokes others, whether it is conscious or not. Students your age do not have that sense of thinking before acting...they just allow emotion to take over.
I had this very talk with a student who provoked others into wanting to beat him up on a daily basis. He was arrogant, always calling other stupid, telling them they could not read, he also came from another school district and did speak differently.
His behavior simply irritated others and made them want to confront him. Wrong? of course! But in the end he realized he was the cause of his own problems and he had some changing to do.
Good Luck

Answer 4

Get your local media involved. Send a clean version of this letter to the radio station and ask for advice. There is a syndicated talk show I listen to "Micheal Baisden" The Bad Boy of Radio... and loves to put schools on blast that do not properly educate and look out for our youth. Have you tried talking to the school counselor? Hopefully your parents can soon get you away from that school.
I really hate this is happening to you.

One other thing, evaluate the situation and make sure you are not doing anything to provoke them....like calling or treating them like morons!

Answer 5

Can you go to a different school? or maybe you and your parents should talk to the principles boss, he does have one. as far as the cops go, talk to the higher ups the cops bosses. get the jerks name who will not do anything and then if you can go to his boss. Ask them what are they waiting for. But what ever you do DON"T mention Columbine then they'll send you to the nut house probably. You could see if you're parent could sit in on your class one time?? That would probably make you look bad though? good luck. Just keep talking to people and take note of their names , times and date and even mention something about you and your parents getting a lawyer, that ought to scare them into doing something

Answer 6

dude that sucks, i'm really sorry. if the teachers aren't responding i don't know if there's much you can do, school policies are hard to change. i guess the best advice i can give you is to stay out of places where you usually get beat up. it's kind of hard to decide whether to change the system that's not protecting you, or change the jerks that are beating you up. as a last resort, you might want to take some self-defense or boxing classes, that way you might feel safer, although it won't stop guys from trying to jump you unless you really take out some huge guy and everybody gets scared of you. good luck man, i wish you the best.

Answer 7

wow well i feel sorry for you but i would like to help well here it goes :)

okay well first if you have anyone on your side like a friend( i understand your the new kid trust me I'm not the new kid and i got allot of Cr*p put on me and that's just for me being different not for my accent that just recently decided to pop out) to witness the fight make sure they are there and that the other Person started it and that you finished it but make sure you in no way start it.

OR

if you don't want to fight learn to run fast but sooner or later youo have to fight back i give you all the luck that the lord gives you praise :)

OR

you could go to the police with your parents but make sure you have documentation ( EXAMPLE: picture of bruises witness state ment etc.) and you should be able to file charges

and if that don't work go straight to example number one lol im really trying to help sorry if its not any help :) well good luck:)

Answer 8

Maybe it's time for your parents to hire a lawyer and have him contact the Board of Education and Police Department, that will usually motivate someone to get of their @ss and do something. Good luck and best wishes.

Answer 9

He who professes to be all and know all best better be able to defend his position both mentally and physically. Sounds as if you might have a chip on your shoulder that others are sensing and all chips are worthily of being knocked off. My best advise is take some self defense course, you are so smart that should be easy and thus....you have solved your problem. For sometimes with brains one must have guts too.

Answer 10

Have your mother write a letter to the school board telling them what is going on and that nothing is being done about it. If it doesn't stop then hire a lawyer and sue the **** out of the school system because you are being harassed and that is against most school policies.
