Today, was the worst day of my life. I am 13 and I am in high school. For some reason i get made fun of because im supposedly short, when i'm actually young. There are 14, and 15 year olds in my grade. Today in class, I got picked on by basically ever guy when it was the guys against girls. They kept making fun of me, and threw stuff at me. I felt like crying but I held it in. I went to my guidance counselor and she said she can't switch me out. I feel horrible. NOBODY out of all of the boys even helped me. They just all laughed. I never said ANYTHING to these boys. Please help me!

I would think that schools have a no tolerance for bullying rule in place. Do some research online and print out some stuff related tto it. Consult your school principal and address it head on. Perhaps he can deal with the issue. I was bullyied a lot in junior high and I felt bad as well. Bad until I consulted the principal and made a issue of the situation. Put your eggs in a row, let them know your serious and if that don't work go a little further. Consult the school board in your area and maybe even the police. Let them know you mean business. It won't stop unless you put your foot down in some regards. IM me if you need any more advice. *smiles*

Where was the teacher? talk to your Mom, I do not think the guidance counselor, gave you advice that can help you, may be you should see the principal, or assistant, This behavior has to stop, before someone gets hurt, and I know you are hurting, because you have feelings. Try to ignore the guys, get good grades, and then the girls will see how smart you are. Don"t let your height be a problem for you, if they do not like it , it is their problem.

so sad. I'm sorry . You need to be Strong minded and try very hard to ignore. I know it is easier said than done but try with all you have to be strong and ignore . If you and others know you are a good girl and don't cause trouble then you should not feel intimidated by the jerks. If you show it bothers you then they will continue , but if you ignore , eventually they will tire of you and move on to some one else, people who are bullies are unhappy for what ever reasons and take it out on others especially the happy People. it Will take a lot of courage on your part to stay strong and ignore but it will work out to your benefit.

Have your parent(s) keep you out of school until the Principal agrees to a conference; if that isn't an option, try to carry a recorder with you to at least record an audio record of the abuses and appeal directly to the school board.
Last ditch: go to an attorney (yes, even by yourself) or the media. Tell your Principal you are going to do this - they will panic to get on the local news for this.

Teenagers are the most cruel species on earth. I've been in your shoes before. Hang in there and go ahead and cry when you get home in the afternoons. Its a rejuvenator. Also, try going back to your counceler and telling her that shes not being much help. If that doesn't work then go over her head. THEY CAN move you out of there.

Straight to the principal, ask if he can speak to the teacher and have her/him calm down the class. This is an educational place, not a traumatic experience. The principle here in our town would not put up with that. Talk to him, or have your parents if you feel you can't.

go to the girls and start talking to them and ignore the boys or stand up for yourself they maybe be picking on you because you will do nothing about it. sometimes you have to get into fights in highschool. or just confront them about it. ask them what is there problem with you. But when you confront them be prepared because it might turn into a fight. OR anther thing you can do before you confront them is talk to your principal tell him what is going on and tell him if he cant fix it you are going to have to YOU DO NEED TO SHOW THEM THAT YOU WILL STAND UP FOR YOURSELF i bet if you do stand up for yourself they will back down i did it once a girl kept picking on me and fineally i just had enough of it and i said if you want to go at it come on and she never did fight me and never picked on me again.i dont know if that is right for you but all i can say is you have to stand up for yourself but go throught the process first talk to the principal or the boys but do stand up for yourself i hope this works
good luck to you.

Don't let them get to you. Its insecure people that feel the need to bully others. They're trying to build themselves up. It doesn't work, most grow up to feel bad about what they did in High School. Keep your head high. Demand their respect.

Talk to the Headmaster, tell him your schoolwork is being disrupted by the situation and he has to do something. If you still have problems, see if you can talk to school governers ( or whoever might be superior to the headmaster ).
Good Luck!
