Some just need a little discipline. They really need to learn to be more polite!

Kids are just cruel. As you have not put your age or grade, I'm just going to 'Ball Park' it. Cruelty is 'Learned' and it usually starts at home....A person who is different in anyway usually becomes the butt of cruel jokes/teasing(stuttering,pimples,scars..etc.).
It makes them feel better about themselves while belittleing you, just remember that what goes around comes around.
Flippant remarks such as "Well at least I don't have Scrambled Eggs for Brains" and then walk away will in most cases Shut them up(don't use foul language).
Let your parents know that you are getting teased so that they can stand behind you and they can step in if it gets out of control.
Hold your head up high. Your scar makes you you and not a clone of anyone else.
You know who else had a scar??? A Gangster back in the 1920's(sorry I forget his name) Maybe you could say something like "Wow, you mean I look like a gangster from the 20's???Thanks".
Good Luck sweetie

kids are not evil but the things they do and the choices they make are sometimes bad and very hateful. it would be easy to blame the parents and sometimes the parents are the reason kids act in a hateful way. I know this may not sound like much but when they call you names try to ignore them. if they do not get a reaction from you they will soon move on to someone else. my 2 daughters were made fun of at school and was bullied so badly that they both dropped out of high school but I always told them that the reason someone makes fun of you is because they are jealous of you. it's not that they hate you because if they did not care anything for you then they wouldn't even notice you .make friends with people who care for what you have inside and be more mature than the babies who are calling you names. I am here if you ever need to talk to someone.

I would hate to be a child today. It was hard enough when I was a child and the tallest girl in the universe for my age and everybody made fun of my height, but it wasn't cruel and violent like today's kids do. I did learn most of the time it was kids who had lots of flaws themselves were the teasers and they were trying to make themselves feel better. Everybody has flaws of some kind and it took me years to learn that. But there are no perfect people and the only way movie stars look perfect is due to the hair dressers, make up artists, costumers, etc., to make them "perfect" in movies and pictures. People should love us for our hearts and not what we look like or our size. Just be your sweet self and those who respond to kindness will make the best friends anyway. You don't need the losers in your life who have many more flaws than you! Here's some sites about all our bullies today to help you deal with the cruelty that we can't always avoid!

Bullying and making fun of people is so bad today all across the US that there are workshops counselors are having at school to help young people deal with it. And don't feel bad about going to your school counselor and telling her about it. So many kids are abused today that they need to abuse back and don't care who they abuse. Develop your personality to be the brightest and best and people will love you!

I'm sorry that happened to you. I can relate as I was bullied as a child and young teen too. What was nice payback was I transformed like the ugly duckling. I turned into a swan, while my tormentors drifted into obscurity. I knew at the time if I could hold out that it would be worth it. Oh, and it was and is. What's even funnier is one of the bullies, who I thought was cute at the time, expressed an interest in me when we were both single in our early 20s. Well, like an elephant, I never forgot. He had a snowball's chance in a very hot place in dating me.
So, my advice to you is, hang in there. Life will get better, I promise. If you can, pretend their words don't bother you. Maybe take a self defense class, like karate? Make yourself stronger for the day when you come into your own. Send me a message if you'd like.
Here's a link to actress Winona Ryder's revenge experience. (She was bullied as a seventh grader.):

How does your child's (children's) school deal with the problem of bullying?

Kids can be very cruel. But they say it because they are uncomfortable and dont know how else to deal with it, they havent really discovered how to control their emotions and express them properly. And also they aren't secure enoug in their own skin so they take it out on other people to make them feel better.
I was made fun of as a kid too. It really suck and sticks with you through your life. But know deep down that you are a better person then they are because you don't need to belittle people to make yourself feel better. You wont get anywhere in life if you act like them. Learn from their mistake and don't be like them be a compassionate, caring person.

They have their own securities they do not want others to know. Life is tough as a kid, and worse when you are teenager.
BUT, as an adult, we dream of the days when we were younger. So, good luck Hon. I am sure you are beautiful and bright girl that can get past this.

They are not evil. They are ignorant. They act the way they are treated. They also need to learn empathy. Parents are the most responsible for that, but friends are a close second.

yeah, kids are really good at picking up on small differences and ostrascizing you about them.
my ears stuck out a bit and i was eternally known as dumbo.
hang in there, b/c as you get older things like a scar on your cheek or ears don't matter quite as much.
take care darlin!

It's a phase...some get stuck in it for life.....If it bothers you use a little makeup, Ask mom or Dad about plastic surgery to help you have more confidience in yourself and tell them You are getting teased If they can't afford it they could set up donations through your family and save for it, If you are old enough baby sit and save your money for it. Hope that is helpful!
